This blog describes how SAP digital payments can simplify the connection between business applications in S/4HANA and payment service providers
Enterprises doing business globally via various selling channels and with changing business models (i.e. B2C, B2B, online shops, POS) need to offer digital payment methods such as credit card or real-time payments like PayPal to their customers. To do so, SAP customers (especially in ECC) used to build and maintain point-to-point connections from their SAP software systems to their Payment Service Providers (PSP) – clearly a complex and maintenance intensive process for their IT department. A change of service provider or introduction of a new payment method was usually only possible via another cost intensive implementation project. Not to mention the risk of data loss if critical credit card data is stored in the ERP and the high costs for PCI DSS* certification resulting from this.
SAP therefore provides a new integration platform running in the SAP Cloud Platform (public cloud), enabling out-of-the-box and standardized connections between various business applications and the PSPs.
SAP Digital Payments Add-on is the alternative to complex customer-specific implementations with built-in integration to various SAP / non SAP products and components:
As part of the official SAP roadmap, new payment service providers are planned in the upcoming releases. Using a self-enablement approach, partners are welcome to integrate to SAPs platform via partner API and offering their services to all SAP customers. Latest member is Fiserv/First Data who joined the network in November 2019. More co-innovation partners are currently finalizing their connection or are being certified and thus become available to our partners soon.
