Paris, le 08 décembre 2011 – PriceMinister retient SlimPay, établissement de paiement agréé par la Banque de France, pour sa solution « SEPA Direct Debit ». Cette solution permet l’encaissement des sommes dues par les vendeurs professionnels abonnés aux services « SuperBoutiques » de la place de marché, depuis n’importe quel compte-bancaire de la zone SEPA, qui inclut 32 pays. Successeur du prélèvement automatique français qui disparaitra en 2014, le SEPA Direct Debit (SDD) est une solution novatrice que PriceMinister est un des premiers acteurs de l’hexagone à déployer. Il s’agit d’un moyen de paiement entièrement dématérialisé et fiable dans le temps, au contraire de l’encaissement par carte bancaire qui génère des incidents pour date de validité échue, dépassement de plafond ou du chèque qui reste une solution nationale.

The payment processing industry is probably a mess in the US, but I can almost guarantee you it’s even more of a mess over here if you’re not in the UK. Sounds like a great business opportunity, right? In getting ours set up we went through a 3-month long nightmare/adventure and finally settled on Ogone+Spreedly.

L’exercice étant nouveau pour moi et n’ayant pas de connaissances spécifiques sur le sujet, voici comme je m’y suis pris. La première étape est bien sûr de procéder à une recherche sur Internet. Je n’ai pas trouvé grand chose : quelques échanges dans des forums et un bon e-book . C’était assez toutefois pour dégrossir le sujet.
