E-commerce Boom Fuels Online Payments Innovation(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 17, 2014 Global smartphone adoption continues to support the proliferation of electronic commerce throughout the daily lives of consumers around the world. Virtually any product can be purchased from a mobile device, taxis ordered and fares paid, hotel and dinner reservations made. Much of this progress would not be possible without innovative payment gateway software. Noted for easy-to-integrate application programming interfaces, prebuilt and configurable checkout pages, fast or even instant merchant account approval, and support for an impressive number of payment types and currencies, gateway providers deserve much of the credit for enabling e-commerce in new scenarios.
