In a continuous effort to provide services that our vendors need to compete in today’s market, Gate2Shop has extended our portfolio of payment solutions. The team at Gate2Shop is proud to announce that payment methods specifically for conducting business in Israel have been added. The Israeli credit and debit cards have been added together with the Israeli Shekel as an additional currency.

And for the vendors conducting business in France, Italy, and Denmark, Gate2Shop is now offering the Carta Bleue, Carta CI, Dankort cards.

• The Carta Bleue – (Blue card) is currently one of the larger debit cards in use throughout France and by the addition of this card a large target audience will be available for e-commerce sales.
• Carta SI – Presently the Carta SI is a very popular debit card in use in Italy. The use of these cards and other debit cards (or bank or check cards as referred to) are the preferred method of payment.
• Dankort Cards – is a Danish debit card and the national credit card of Denmark. In today’s use it is usually combined with the Visa card so it can be used easily when the cardholder travels abroad.

The addition of these payment methods are intended to make it easier for the Gate2Shop vendors to expand the accepted currencies that they are presently using for the online transactions. By the additional payment methods that Gate2Shop continues to add, the hope is to better serve our valued clients.

As Gate2Shop continues to expand the available payment methods and options, China UnionPay is added to the payment options available. China UnionPay also known as UnionPay or by its abbreviation, CUP, is the only domestic credit card organization in the People’s Republic of China. China UnionPay is an association for China’s banking card industry, operating under the approval of the People’s Bank of China. It has provided professional maintenance services to over 350 thousand accepted merchants and 600 thousand POS terminals, and data processing services to 16 card-issuing organizations on issuing credit cards as well.
China’s 16.9 million Internet users, while an impressive figure, this is actually only 1.3 percent of the total population, this does not include Hong Kong and Taiwan. With the expansion of the ecommerce industry there will be more and more people utilizing the internet as a means of conducting both business and day to day tasks. This is the perfect opportunity for vendors to expand their target market along with this growth.

The B2C ecommerce market in China is still in its infancy. Merchants in China are adopting ecommerce, but have not yet applied ecommerce as their principal channel to grow their business and therefore pave the way for ecommerce as a whole. The Chinese economy will be the engine of economic growth in the twenty-first century and is now regarded as the key to future productivity improvements and competitiveness. Given the rapid transformations of production and information systems in industrialized countries, no developing country can afford to remain on the sidelines.

By adding such a payment option, Gate2Shop extends the global sales and marketing reach of our vendors into the rapidly growing Chinese economy. With the continuous need for ecommerce providers in the country of China, Gate2Shop is there to these services available. Adding the UnionPay option gives Gate2Shop and our vendors the services that are needed all over the mainland.

Every year more and more people report different levels of vision loss. Although many cases do not lose complete sight there are various stages of vision impairment. And with today’s technological break throughs, many of these problems can be eliminated or lessened by putting forth more effort to include standards for the disabled.

And that is why as part of Gate2Shop’s continuous efforts to evolve ecommerce to unprecedented levels, we are proud to announce that our developers have integrated more accessibility options into the G2S payment page. By taking inclusion a step further, G2S   has made its payment page accessible to those who are visually impaired. Doing this affords even more of the ecommerce community to benefit from the multitude of products available on the internet today.

Taking these steps to up-date the G2S ecommerce solutions provides easy access to those who utilize specialized browsers or even screen readers to experience the Internet.   The development team at G2s continues to provide solutions to the needs of the industry and it strive to stay one step ahead.
It is time that the solutions designed for the ecommerce industry set a standard to include the population that want to be included but are restricted by the accessibility problems that many developers face.
