Zinio Expands its Online Payment Abilities by Choosing GlobalCollect as Payment Partner
Zinio LLC launches global electronic payment processing portfolio in partnership with GlobalCollect, the world's premier payment service provider of local e-payments
Amsterdam, The Netherlands -- Zinio LLC, the leading digital publisher of magazines and books, has partnered with GlobalCollect to offer its subscribers a wide selection of e-payment solutions on www.zinio.com.
Through GlobalCollect's online payment platform, WebCollect, Zinio's customers are now presented with an array of choices to pay for their online subscriptions and purchases, including major international credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and JCB. Additional options include Direct Debits as well as the national cards Maestro and Solo (UK).
"Based upon discussions with over 40 magazine publishers, we estimate that 1/3 of all digital subscribers reside outside of North America and predict that the number of international digital subscriptions will continue to grow as readers appreciate the speed of delivery and convenience provided by digital versions of their favorite magazines," explained Steve Paxhia, Director of the Publishing Practice, The Gilbane Group. This number shows the need to have a global payment system in place which enables customers to pay in their local currency and preferred way.
"Enabling a global newsstand, where anyone can have access to their favorite titles in their native language, in a high fidelity, digital environment is the cornerstone of our business. Our newsstand could not be successful unless we were able to offer localized payment options. With GlobalCollect, we ensure that our customers are getting the highest level of personal service," said Rich Maggiotto, CEO of Zinio LLC.
Jan Manten, CEO of GlobalCollect, added: "After many years of specializing in e-payment solutions worldwide and digital content representing one of our key verticals, we have accumulated comprehensive know-how regarding the online payment landscape. Leading magazine and textbook publishers decided to choose Zinio as their digital publishing partner to reduce production and distribution costs and to increase readership - in turn, Zinio has chosen GlobalCollect to facilitate these online sales to help them grow."
