BridgerPay adds Hands In’s split payments for optimised checkout

By Gloria Methri

BridgerPay, a global payments operations platform, is launching Hands In’s split payments as part of its payment optimisation services. This will enable its network of merchants to split payments across multiple cards and multiple individuals – natively within online checkouts.

BridgerPay merchants will have access to multi-card payments from Hands In, where they can split their payments across two or more cards. By splitting payments, credit card limits are no longer an obstacle to successful payments. Customers can choose this option within the checkout or have this offered as a cart recovery option. By allowing customers more ways to pay with split payments, merchants are optimising their payment processes for fewer abandoned carts and failed payments.

With Hands In’s Group Payments, groups of up to 10 people can split the payment at checkout – in customisable amounts – so no one needs to front the whole bill on their card (or chase their friends or family for money owed to them). Individuals can pay by QR code, payment link, text, or email – creating a flexible and convenient payment experience that promotes customer loyalty.

Decline recovery is crucial for businesses needing to recover failed transactions due to insufficient funds. This is a feature that creates a seamless customer experience and reduces the impact of failed payments on revenue by allowing Hands In split payment solutions to be selected at the point of a payment decline.

Decline Recovery means that BridgerPay merchants have complete confidence that, whatever the cause of the failed payment, BridgerPay can recover it. With Hands In’s Decline Recovery, merchants are recovering 1 in 10 of every failed payment.

Matthew Boundy, PSP Partnership Manager from BridgerPay, said, “Partnering with Hands In aligns with our mission to deliver forward-thinking options, like split payments, that empower clients—particularly in travel and hospitality—to meet diverse customer needs. We are excited to add ‘Hands In’ to our network, adding checkout options to boost customer satisfaction, conversion rates, and revenue.”

Samuel Flynn, founder and CEO of Hands In, added, “Joining forces with BridgerPay is an exciting milestone for Hands In, as we are able to support their merchants to reduce the financial impact that failed payments have on their business. We will be going live with our first BridgerPay merchant, Sports Events 365, in December 2024. We look forward to seeing the transformative effect that our solutions will have on Sports Events 365’s incremental revenue – and then seeing this extend to other BridgerPay merchants too.”
