News Ticketing Chief Executive Adam McArthur has announced today that Foxtix has completed the implementation of PayPal across its site as a payment option its consumers.
With PayPal already available as a payment option across Moshtix, this makes News Ticketing the first major ticketing company to have this payment functionality available to its users.
PayPal's partnership with Foxtix, similarly with Moshtix, will see PayPal as the preferred transaction method, with consistent branding throughout the transactional gateway and across the site. As part of this relationship there will be a series of benefits for the PayPal community such as pre-sales, and PayPal only offers.
PayPal allows customers to pay any way they prefer, including through credit cards, bank accounts, buyer credit or account balances, without sharing financial information.
McArthur explains that having PayPal accessible across its site provides clients and consumers payment flexibility, stating "when it comes to online and mobile transactions, it's important for businesses to be providing consumers with the most secure payment gateways. PayPal is the faster, safer and easier payment option.
"We're very excited to be partnering with the global leader in online payment solutions and offering our users the flexibility to choose the way they want to pay. With PayPal, everyone can feel safe knowing their money is secure while transacting online and on the mobile.
"At News Ticketing we always strive to challenge industry standards and lead the market by giving customers and event organisers greater flexibility. The introduction of Paypal across both of our platforms illustrates this approach and is a great way to give customers the option to purchase tickets online without the need to have a credit card which historically has been the only choice for customers wishing to purchase online."
PayPal Director of Marketing Steve Brennen adds "since launch, News Ticketing has really been leading the way with innovative, industry-first initiatives. With the hundreds of online and mobile payment transactions they process each day, it makes sense to be implementing our payment technology to ensure these transactions are processed quickly and securely."
News Ticketing now provides all of its clients across Moshtix and Foxtix the option to have PayPal as an option to collect money from consumers.
