Merchant perspective: An implementation of the option Paylib is needed on the merchant website. Paylib allows sales integrate with merchant’s usual electronic payment appropriations. No need to open a specific account, because Paylib is a payment system integrated directly to banks and therefore eliminates one step in the process of payment. Reporting tools and management unchanged.
Security: Paylib ensures a security equivalent to the 3D Secure system with a smoother buying journey that reduces dropouts baskets and let merchants increase their revenue. Paylib does not mention which specific security is used. Each purchase must be validated by entering a 6-digit code.
