Aroxo, the UK-based online marketplace and Sage Pay, the UK’s independent payment service provider (PSP) have joined forces to provide a secure new sales channel. It has been reported that the move to partner with Sage Pay alongside peer-to-peer payment platforms, such as PayPal and Google Checkout comes as a result of retailer demand and is part of Aroxo’s wider growth strategy.

Matt Rogers, co-founder of Aroxo explains: We have ambitious plans for growth and by partnering with Sage Pay, both our network of customers and businesses using Sage Pay’s secure payment gateway will benefit from this innovative collaboration. Aroxo is the first buyer-driven marketplace where the buyer and seller can negotiate on the price of desired goods so will be a welcome addition to any multi channel strategy, and with Sage Pay’s integration it is an efficient and effortless new sales channel.

James Beard, head of commercial development at Sage Pay, said: We’re delighted to provide our payment services on Aroxo’s marketplace. We’ve spoken to a number of our customers and their two key concerns are always reaching new markets and streamlining business processes. The ability to accept payments on their own website and reconcile them in one place gives retailers one less thing to worry about and enables them to concentrate on making their business a success.
