Chippin, the pioneering new provider of group payment solutions, today announced a partnership with online payment experts, Secure Trading. Merchants who currently use Secure Trading’s payment gateway services to accept their payments, can now enhance their checkout experience, and benefit from Chippin’s new and innovative group payment facility. 

Chippin forms an important part of Secure Trading’s global offering, immediately enabling many of the world’s leading businesses to offer their customers the ability to share the cost of a purchase at the point of purchase. Chippin solves the age-old problem of splitting the cost of an online purchase with friends and family, and gives merchants invaluable insight into currently inaccessible data, regarding group purchasing behaviour.

Secure Trading’s Craig Brightly, explains: “This is a great example of how Secure Trading is enabling merchants to take their online checkout to the next level.  We’ve all been there, whether it is booking gig tickets for friends and chasing payment; or clubbing together to buy a gift off a wedding list – it can be a pain being the organiser. Chippin removes that pain. One simple integration that takes minutes, rather than days, and merchants can allow their customers to split the cost of any online purchase.”  

Many businesses are poised to benefit from this partnership, including Juicemaster- the internationally renowned health and lifestyle brand. JuiceMaster’s CEO, Jason Vale, says: “Chippin makes group purchases simple and secure for our customers, removing the pain of chasing payments from groups, or wandering around the office with an envelope. 

“Not only does Chippin integrate easily into our website, but it sits alongside other options, such as Paypal and Visa. We’re looking forward to offering our customers the latest innovation in payments, whilst benefiting from Secure Trading’s expertise and secure payment gateway.” 

Charlie Curson, Chippin’s co- founder and CEO, says: “Partnering with Secure Trading is an exciting step in Chippin’s development. With an ever-increasing demand for Chippin from individual merchants, working with a global payment provider, like Secure Trading, helps to quickly scale our solution across many industries, including ticketing, retail and hospitality. Helping businesses of all shapes and sizes make the aspirational affordable for their customers.”
