Naranja is used in Argentina and supports the Argentine peso (ARS).
What is Naranja, how does it work, and how can merchants integrate this payment method into their e-commerce store?
Businesses that expand to new markets often find out the hard way why it’s so critical to meet local payment preferences. Customers in different countries and continents often have divergent expectations around payment methods – including convenience, speed, accessibility, and even which payment methods are made available to begin with.
According to research, consumers who do not find their preferred payment method at checkout can be over half as likely to abandon an online purchase. Offering the right online payment methods in the right places is therefore critical for successful e-commerce expansion.
Merchants looking to establish a presence in Argentina need to offer the right local payment methods that accommodate these expectations and make the checkout experience more appealing. And when it comes to expanding to the Argentine market, Naranja is one of the must-haves.
Naranja is a major credit card issuer and online payment method in Argentina. The company has been in business since 1985 and has developed a reputation as an innovative banking option in the region. Millions of clients choose it because of its convenient mobile app that allows instant payments.
This payment method is particularly popular among Argentinian consumers for purchasing services or shopping online. As the company expanded, Naranja has become a top payment method for merchants and consumers alike.
Customers pay for goods or services by adding them to their cart at checkout and selecting Naranja as a payment method. The payment gateway will request the needed information for payment, including the card number and CVV code.
If a customer has the Naranja application installed on their device, they may be requested to verify their purchase using an authentication method within that app. All transfers are completed instantly, and both parties will receive notifications with details of the transaction.
Naranja’s goal is to provide top-quality services to customers, including:
Users can make free transfers, pay for goods and services using smartphones, and order cards online. A customer only needs an ID and an Internet connection to get a Naranja card without leaving the house. In addition, Naranja offers loans and insurance products.
Such benefits make the service appealing to both online shoppers and merchants. No wonder Naranja counts over 4 million customers (and 9 million active cards) in Argentina.
By adding Naranja as a payment method in the checkout, merchants are sure to attract more Argentinian customers and successfully expand their business in the local market, gaining access to a wide pool of potential customers.
Naranja also operates Tienda Naranja, an eCommerce marketplace where merchants can sell their products, and the platform sells everything from furniture and cosmetics to clothes and electronics.
By integrating the Naranja Payment Platform into their checkout, merchants can accept Naranja credit and debit cards as payment for goods or services. The best way to do that is by using a specialized payment gateway that supports Naranja.
When a consumer makes a payment using their card, the payment provider sends a request containing the consumer’s card information and the merchant’s reference ID to an acquiring bank. The latter redirects it to the issuing bank.
The issuing bank processes the transaction in real-time, returning an authorization or decline response. The acquirer sends the authorization result to the payment provider, and the provider responds accordingly.
If the payment is authorized, the merchant can send the product or service to the customer or request a capture. The provider will also send settlement details to the acquirer to allow the collection of the amount from the customer’s bank account.
The merchant receives funds and payment reports that include the payment reference. That way, the business can instantly update the relevant order or orders.
