PayEasy Online Payment Now Supports International Languages

E-Commerce and online payments are supposed to bring down geographic borders and allow anyone to conduct business anywhere in the world. But what happens if your intended audience cannot understand your site because they do not speak or read English? PayEasy Online Payment System takes merchants to the next global level by natively supporting Asian languages.

Practically a majority of e-commerce sites are written in English and are meant to be accessed only by English readers. But to help its merchants expand their business in Asia particularly, PayEasy, Mozcom’s award-winning online payment system, now supports Japanese, Korean and Chinese, in addition to the default English language.

“We have a merchant whose business primarily involves dealing with non-English-proficient Asians,” said Robertson Chiang, Mozcom CTO. “They found out that most of their prospects could not successfully conduct online payments because they were hesitant in providing financial information like credit card numbers to a site which they hardly understood.”

Mozcom redesigned the site to easily support multiple languages with very little modifications. Now, when users access PayEasy, the site will automatically try to determine the default language installed on the PC and change its prompts accordingly to suit the native language. Users can still override the language of the prompts by clicking on the list of languages supported on the upper right corner of the site.

“We initially targeted Asian languages because there’s a lot more Asians who do not understand English and only speak their native tongue. In contrast, many Europeans can read English as a second language, so English prompts are usually not a hindrance to them for conducting e-commerce,” Chiang added. By supporting a language like Chinese, PayEasy can be read natively by more than a billion people. In Asia, Chinese can be read by people in mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Mozcom PayEasy is the most comprehensive online payment system in the country today supporting all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Diners Club), BancNet and MegaLink ATM cards, PayPal, Globe G-Cash, Smart Money, UCPB my1Time, and Western Union.
