Avangate, the agile eCommerce solutions provider trusted by thousands of
Software and SaaS companies to grow their business worldwide, is
announcing the addition of new localization capabilities - Dankort and
UKash - to its roster of accepted payment methods. These additions help
software companies improve conversion rates in EMEA and LATAM markets.
The Dankort is a Danish debit card used by 74% of Denmark’s population.
In a region with a high uptake in eCommerce, Denmark leads the Nordic
countries with the highest number of online purchases per capita. The
VISA/Dankort is Denmark’s most popular card payment method, and can also
be used at over 24 million outlets around the world as an international
debit card. The Dankort adds to Avangate’s portfolio of Danish
localization support, including order interface and my Account shopper
area in Danish and the local Danish Krone currency.
UKash vouchers are distributed in more than 420,000 locations in 50
countries, and are popular in European, Middle Eastern, African and
Latin American countries. They are issued online and through shops,
kiosks, ATMs and telephone booths, and can be delivered as printed-paper
receipts, single-use cards, SMS or email. Because every voucher has
unique and secure 19-digit PIN, value, currency and expiration date,
every voucher is guaranteed and prepaid, enabling both vendors and
customers to avoid the risks of fraud.
“We continue to focus on providing our software vendors deep local
capabilities to be able to expand to new markets, as well as optimize
their sales conversions and ROI for existing markets”, said Michael Ni,
Senior Vice President of Marketing and Products, Avangate. “With online
sales growing exponentially worldwide, software and SaaS vendors are
increasingly turning to commerce platforms like ourselves that enable
them to quickly penetrate new markets and geographies.”
The Avangate eCommerce platform currently supports multiple localization
capabilities for ordering software online and through channel partners,
including the recently announced Middle Eastern capabilities. eCommerce
capabilities also include 28 languages, 30 payment methods, 48 display
currencies, shopper support in multiple languages and hyper-localization
to present geographic-specific pricing, taxes, and appropriate global
and local payment methods and support phone numbers.
