Merchant decision question
A Laos merchant is deciding whether to start with a BCEL OnePay QR acceptance route or BCEL's online payment gateway route for website or app payments.
When BCEL OnePay may fit
Prioritize when the first Laos question is QR acceptance at stores, domestic customer payment behavior, merchant QR setup, and branch or bank support.
When BCEL Online Payment Gateway may fit
Prioritize when the first Laos question is website or app checkout, card or QR ecommerce, developer integration, reporting, and online reconciliation.
What to verify before integration
- Can this merchant onboard with its current entity, business license, tax documents, bank account, owner profile, website or store channel, and transaction model?
- Which flows are available for this merchant: QR at store, QR ecommerce, card checkout, electronic invoice, recurring payment, virtual terminal, refunds, and reconciliation?
- What integration assets, testing process, portal access, reporting exports, webhook or notification flows, and technical support are available?
- What fees, reserves, payout currency, settlement schedule, FX handling, limits, tax documents, and customer-dispute handling will be provided in writing?
- Would the merchant need both a QR merchant setup and an online gateway setup, or can one route cover the initial launch?
