Alternative Payments introduces “QIWI” eWallet Payment Option!

QIWI is Russia’s most popular and convenient online payment method. To make a payment, all a consumer has to do is select QIWI as the payment option on the merchant's website. The transaction will immediately be carried out, transferring money from the customer’s QIWI Wallet to the store.

The QIWI Wallet electronic payment system was launched at the end of 2007. The system allows customers to quickly and conveniently make payments online for utilities, mobile phone bills, shopping purchases, internet services and much more.

Simplicity and favorable payment conditions have made the QIWI Wallet one of the most popular Russian online payment system. With more than 143 million Russian consumers, QIWI is guaranteed to convert more sales!

Alternative Payment’s merchants will not only benefit from this payment method but also have the ability to target new markets through Alternative Payment’s unique 1-Button feature, which currently provides a large selection of alternative payment solutions. Merchants do not have to register individually for each payment service option, as they are all conveniently provided through one solution.

Alternative Payments provides this alternative payment method as part of their service offering to merchants worldwide, which automatically includes customer support, currency conversion and comprehensive reporting.

Tech News: 

DATA CENTER UPGRADE IN PROCESS Did you know that Alternative Payments operates their own Data Center? Most other companies use isp's or colocations.

Our data center and IT department are located in the famous One Wilshire building in Los Angeles. We operate our own routers, IDS, firewalls, servers and manage our own power. This gives us the security and control to move fast on requests and expansions. That said, it is time for upgrading. We are re-racking (hi-end cooling systems and implementing earthquake safety standards), complete new power management through Intelligent Power Distribution Units (iPDU) brings state of the art management, reduction of power (go green!) and control. In addition, we have included rack mounted power distribution units (PDU) to prevent power issues before they arise. 75% of our servers will be replaced with the latest generation high efficiency machines, that uses 44% less power!
