Hostway Customers Gain Access to One of the Most Reliable Services in
Ecommerce Today
CHICAGO, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Hostway, a global leader in Web hosting
and managed services, today announced its launch of a new payment service for
its ecommerce customers. By providing PayPal's online payment service,
Hostway now allows ecommerce customers to easily process online transactions
via their Hostway Merchant Manager stores without incurring setup charges and
monthly fees. This service is available on the Hostway Web site at
http://www.hostway.com/smb/merchantaccount/paypal.html .
"If you're a new or existing online business that's seeking an easy and
secure way to accept credit card payments, Hostway is your answer," said John
Lee, vice president of marketing at Hostway. "Your shoppers can feel
confident when purchasing products from your online shops in whichever way
they choose -- by credit card, bank accounts or their stored PayPal balances."
Hostway customers may now accept online transactions without having to
worry about the logistics and fees of traditional merchant service providers.
Instead, fees are based on the dollar amount and volume of transactions
processed through PayPal. Because PayPal has nearly 64 million accounts,
Hostway customers can open up their businesses to a large global base of
potential buyers.
"Hostway and PayPal have a common goal to help enable ecommerce for small
businesses," said Stephanie Tilenius, vice president of merchant services for
PayPal. "Working together, PayPal and Hostway help businesses succeed by
offering a secure, easy and cost-effective way to accept payments online."
All Hostway customers and Web site visitors may sign up for PayPal
accounts, and this new service is compatible with all versions of Hostway's
Merchant Manager. The enrollment process is fast and easy, and customers have
the ability to track transactions through customized login accounts.
"Even Hostway customers and online retailers that already accept credit
cards can benefit from the convenience of Hostway's integration of the PayPal
service," said Lee. "The rolling-out of this feature is another example of
Hostway's commitment to provide small businesses with user-easy ecommerce
solutions."
The addition of PayPal services is consistent with Hostway's strategy of
becoming a comprehensive online solutions provider to its customers. The
company expects to add a variety of hosted applications and managed services
to strengthen its capabilities to serve the online and IT needs of small and
mid-sized businesses.
