Worldline & Nexxchange to boost payment experience for golfers in Austria

By Megha Bhattacharya

Worldline today announced a new collaboration with Nexxchange in a bid to launch the improved services in over 100 golf clubs in Austria within the next two years with plans to roll the solution out in Germany, Spain, Portugal, and Morocco in the near future.

Worldline will integrate its advanced solutions into Nexxchange’s payments infrastructure to create a safe payment facility for golf courses and resorts. Worldline’s acquiring capabilities will also enable the clubs and resort operators to receive their money quickly when the payment is initiated.

“We continue to focus on Worldline’s ability to facilitate innovation in many different sectors and how we work closely with partners to enhance business models and payment experience for consumers,” said Guillaume Pascal, Head of Global Sales and Verticals, Merchant Services, at Worldline. “Our exclusive partnership with Nexxchange reflects our mission in driving change in which products and services can be offered in the market. We are excited to work closely with the Nexxchange team to build a frictionless booking and payment process for golfers.”

According to Worldline, Nexxchange’s customers will benefit from Worldline’s technology through stored payment card credentials for seamless booking experience across all golf clubs and courses, and Omni-channel solutions integration for different service providers at the golf club or resorts such as online booking, pay-at-the-table in restaurants, payment in other local facilities, and POS for pro-shops with consolidated reporting for the service providers.

Michael Briem, Managing Director at Nexxchange added, “We are thrilled to partner with a technology leader such as Worldline. Our powerful payment platform will allow Nexxchange to set a new standard in the golf sector by offering card-present and card-not-present solutions with an omnichannel Gateway and help us operate Europe-wide and support our ambitions of becoming a 360-degree provider for the golf scene.”
