AMPECO, a global EV charging software provider, and Worldline, a global leader in payment services, today announced a partnership that introduces a unified payment solution. It consolidates unattended credit card terminals and online payments into a single solution for large-scale EV charging providers operating throughout Europe.
Simplifying payments for EV charging providers
With the newly enforced AFIR regulations mandating multiple payment methods for EV drivers, the solution offered by AMPECO and Worldline arrives at a critical time for the EV charging industry. It addresses two main challenges faced by EV charging providers: the complexity and expense of using multiple payment vendors for terminal and online payments and the need for a centralized pricing and receipts management system for terminal payments.
Advanced technological integration
AMPECO and Worldline have joined forces to deliver advanced payment terminal solutions through seamless cloud-to-cloud integration. The partnership goes beyond a typical integration, reflecting a deep understanding of the specific needs of Charge Point Operators (CPOs).
The collaboration ensures that CPOs benefit from centralized pricing management, allowing the application of complex, multi-component tariffs seamlessly across mobile apps, terminals, and web portals. This system also provides comprehensive charging session data (CDRs) for efficient reporting and troubleshooting, alongside the automatic issuance of receipts, offering EV drivers convenient proof of purchase for accounting or reimbursement needs.
Charge point operators can choose to implement a kiosk setup using a single terminal device to manage multiple charging points, significantly lowering initial investment, ongoing maintenance costs, and operational risks. Furthermore, the customizable AMPECO terminal app, specifically designed to run on terminal devices, empowers CPOs to refine the EV driver experience. Alternatively, CPOs can integrate one terminal device for each charging station and still benefit from the cloud integration capabilities.
Through the unified payment solution, CPOs can offer clients a user-friendly web portal for ad-hoc, non-registered charging and an option for QR code-based payments directly at the charge points.
The definitive solution for large-scale EV charging providers
With AMPECO and Worldline as their payment solution, EV charging providers can efficiently manage charging stations across the continent. They can simplify operations and reduce complexity by using one payment solution for all their EV charging channels—on-site terminals and online via mobile apps and web portals. The CPOs manage all payment transactions from a single interface, ensuring seamless integration of payments from different sources. This unified system allows providers to see all the money generated in different countries in one interface, eliminating the need for different PSP accounts for each country. Consequently, providers no longer need multiple contracts with different parties, making it easier to negotiate better financial terms with a single party.
