BOSTON, MA – September 8, 2009 – Merchant Warehouse, a premier provider of merchant accounts and credit card processing solutions, today announced the release of a free payment module extension for the eCommerce platform Magento, a Varien company. Developed as an Open Source solution for the eCommerce marketplace, Magento is easy to use and simple to customize, allowing developers to create plug-ins and extensions to expand the platform`s capabilities for online merchants.
Merchant Warehouse’s extension utilizes the secure MerchantWARE Payment Gateway technology and offers merchants the same great benefits, only in an eCommerce environment. With Merchant Warehouse’s MerchantWARE Payment Gateway extension, Magento customers can accept credit cards without having to sign a long-time contract, and without having to pay gateway fees or setup fees. The extension provides Magento’s customers with a flexible and secure payment processing solution that integrates seamlessly with their eCommerce solution.
Magento was developed as a direct response to the emerging needs of today`s online merchants. With many small to mid-sized business owners needing as much flexibility as possible, Magento puts the control back in the hands of the online merchant and places no constraints on business processes and flow.
We are definitely excited about the release of the Magento extension as we have seen a need for a trusted provider of credit card processing solutions integrated with open source eCommerce platforms, said Henry Helgeson co-CEO, Merchant Warehouse. Partnering with eCommerce platforms is the next evolution of our offering at Merchant Warehouse. We want to provide online merchants an easy and secure way of growing their businesses. We see great opportunities with Magento and similar open source eCommerce solutions on the market today.
