YNOT – CCBill, a global e-commerce solutions provider since 1998, has rolled out updates and new features to help merchants and affiliates expand their markets. Statistics driven by Webhooks, two new European payment options and a consumer credit system are now available.

“The roll-out of these updates falls right in line with our renewed focus on bringing more tools and features to merchants and affiliates,” said Gary Jackson, managing vice president of sales and internet markets. “The real-time, event-driven reporting of Webhooks is great for receiving up-to-the-minute data, the new payment options offer more methods to connect with European consumers and the consumer credit system is another way to help retain customers.”

Webhooks are HTTP callbacks that can provide customizable posts and communications about a variety of events. Their primary benefit is enabling the receipt of timely information about almost anything from a successful new sale to a change in consumer data as it happens.

The new European payment options — Giropay and iDEAL — offer access to larger audiences on a local level in Germany and the Netherlands, respectively. Operating within DirectPayEU feature set, both Giropay and iDEAL are widely used by consumers in those countries as a preferred method of payment.

Consumer credit allows merchants to offer incentives that may help keep a subscriptions alive. Credit may be applied to a future re-bill on a recurring subscription or applied as a consumer refund to a single billing instance.

“We are pleased to make these updates available to our valued merchants and their affiliates,” Jackson said. “As business trends change and different requirements arise, it becomes all the more important that an e-commerce solutions provider takes the changing landscape into account and provides a complete toolset.”
