Ecommpay shortlisted for best eCommerce payment solution award
Ecommpay has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Best eCommerce Payment Solution category at the 2025 eCommerce Awards. The inclusion of Ecommpay as a finalist highlights the company's recent enhancements to its payment journey, focusing on addressing transaction drop-offs and providing flexibility for users globally. Judges have recognised features such as the 'Try again' option for failed payments and the dynamic presentation of currency choices to consumers making international purchases. The eCommerce Awards recognise achievements and developments in the online retail industry, highlighting solutions and products that have made a discernible impact on how merchants and consumers interact within digital marketplaces. Payment journey improvements Ecommpay's platform integrates over 100 Alternative Payment Methods (APMs), which are accessible through a single interface. This enables merchants to serve customers across multiple regions using their preferred local payment methods. Within the checkout experience, customers can select not only the payment method but also the currency in which they pay, improving transparency and customer satisfaction by matching the transaction with the card's currency where possible. The 'Try again' feature introduced by Ecommpay allows for real-time responses to failed payments during the checkout process. Shoppers are given the opportunity to retry the same payment method or seamlessly select a different option, rather than abandoning their purchase. This process is designed to reduce declines, minimise cart abandonment, and create a smoother purchasing journey for both merchants and end-users. Industry recognition Speaking about the company's approach, Moshe Winegarten, Chief Revenue Officer at Ecommpay, stated: "Merchants need access to comprehensive and well-performing Alternative Payment Methods (APMs) for every region in which they want to trade, and Ecommpay is committed to delivering exactly that. We build our solutions inhouse, from the ground up, in response to real customer and merchant needs, helping customers to pay in their preferred way and reduce drop-offs. This shortlisting recognises the importance of the new features we have added to our payment platform." Ecommpay builds its payment solutions in-house, aiming to streamline operations for merchants and simplify the payment experience for consumers. This internal development approach provides support for both global and local acquiring, and payment processing is delivered through a single API connection. Industry observers have noted that flexibility in payments, local currency options, and seamless retry features are increasingly regarded as vital components for merchants seeking to expand internationally and mitigate failed transactions. Award ceremony The winners of the 2025 eCommerce Awards will be announced in London, where industry professionals will attend an event aimed at highlighting the work undertaken by businesses in the payments and online retail technology sector. Ecommpay, through these enhancements and inclusion as a finalist, continues to be recognised for its focus on customer journey improvements and payments integration capabilities for merchants operating in diverse global markets.
