Wave Direct
Discover how the family-founded business has experienced exponential growth from selling Hot tubs and Spa accessories online, since going live with Total Processing.
The Challenge
Wave Direct came to Total Processing with two key objectives: to reduce their risk appetite and improve the customer experience. They sought out a payments partner that could deliver alternative payment methods capable of providing their customers with secure financing options.
Wave also required faster checkout methods that provided the most convenient and seamless payment experience for customers. In an effort to reduce their chargeback ratio, Wave Direct needed way to process with risk assured payment methods, utilising advanced chargeback defence services as an add-value tool in order to de-escalate fraud.
The Solution
Total Processing provided Wave Direct customers with popularly demanded payment methods from its payment portfolio when they checkout.
With the option to pay via the likes of Apple Pay and Klarna, incidences of fraud have been drastically reduced with natively occurring fraud liability shifts and 3D secure 2.0 authentication protocols.
Simultaneously, Total Processing supplied Wave Direct with Total Defender; its chargeback defence service - located directly within its core business platform - Total Control. With Total Defender, Wave Direct is able to de-escalate transactions categorised as high risk whilst defending chargebacks in as little as 2-clicks.
Total Processing was the flexible payments partner we needed as we scaled and ventured into new geographical locations.
