We are focused on the development of services that will be available to customers in convenient communication channels, and these are, first of all, instant messengers, which are currently used not only for personal purposes, but more and more often for business purposes. Therefore, following the first chat-bank for business in instant messengers on the Russian market that allows you to issue and pay invoices, PSB also launched a service that makes it possible to create an online store and accept payments there, “said the vice president, director of digital sales of medium and small business PSB Roman Gavrilov.
According to the top manager of PSB, a store in Telegram can become both the only and an additional platform for doing business. Individual entrepreneurs will be interested in the new service, as well as small companies selling tea or coffee, baked goods, and providing fitness services. It will be popular with training courses, charitable foundations and other merchants or entrepreneurs with small amounts of revenue.
If an existing PSB client has an Internet acquiring agreement and wants to take advantage of the Telegram store, then he only needs to send an application to the PSB to connect such a service.
