New payment method: Tikkie

Alphacomm now offers Tikkie as payment method to all partners and customers based or operating in the Netherlands.

 

What is Tikkie?

Tikkie is a peer-to-peer payment service that allows people and businesses to request payments from others. Since it’s launch in 2016, the app has become so popular that the word ‘Tikkie’ is now synonymous with the term ‘payment request.’ When someone owes you money, you send them a Tikkie.

In the Netherlands, Tikkie is basically the easiest way to ‘go Dutch’ after a night on the town with friends. However, as the service grew in popularity, so did the use cases. Nowadays Tikkie is also a perfect payment method for businesses of any size.

 

Payment requests made easy

Tikkie is a payment method that is available as part of our Paymaxx solution, but can also be integrated into our Collectmaxx (dunning) and Checkmaxx (ecommerce) solutions.

For example, integration with Checkmaxx, our end-to-end ecommerce solution, allows for the use of Tikkie as a payment method when buying prepaid phone credit, digital (gaming) vouchers or any other high-risk digital goods. This is perfect for families with young children. When kids run out of prepaid credit, they can initiate the order themselves and have their parents finalize the payment by sharing the Tikkie.

Similarly, when integrated with Collectmaxx, if someone is in payment arrears and has an invoice they can’t afford, they can forward the amount owed, as a Tikkie, to a friend or relative who is willing to help them out.

But the use cases don’t end there. Paymaxx, Collectmaxx and Checkmaxx customers, regardless of vertical, will benefit from the implementation of this incredibly useful payment method within their checkout process.

 

How to use Tikkie at checkout

In the video below, we illustrate the checkout process when Tikkie is chosen as payment method within Checkmaxx.

The user specifies which phone number to top-up and the amount of the top-up. Next, the user selects payment method to use. In this case, that’s Tikkie. After choosing Tikkie, the option is presented to share the payment with the person who will make the actual payment.

Sharing can be done via any communication app on the user’s device. From messaging apps like WhatsApp to Messenger to social media platforms, email and SMS. Moreover, a friendly text is included, so the recipient is always informed regarding the goal of the payment and the amount requested. The included text can be customized by the user before sending.
