With the transition of dating business to the online sphere, entrepreneurial efforts in this niche of social networking have resulted in an array of opportunities for individuals around the world to achieve personal fulfilment by finding a partner or friend with similar values, interests and lifestyle. And they are ready to pay for the service rendered in a professional and convenient manner. As the reach of dating sites becomes global and the number of monetisation opportunities increases, providing a compelling online payments experience becomes one of the priorities. The amounts charged are usually not high, so different micropayments systems have come to prominence as the desired options to meet these requirements.

Mobile payments: Monetisation made easy Infobip’s mobile payments service Centili has been already chosen by several dating services. It’s a simple and safe way for consumers to purchase online digital content and services such as virtual coins, tokens or upgrades, charging the amount to their mobile phone bill or deducting it from their prepaid balance. With its global coverage, Centili allows dating service providers to offer a frictionless payment option to all their users. This is especially efficient in emerging markets which have high monetisation potential, but a low penetration of standard payment options, such as credit cards. It is also a discreet payment method that protects the privacy of the end user, serving the interests of consumers and dating service providers. Fully supporting both one-time-payments and subscription models, with the Centili Partner Panel, an intuitive web-based console for comprehensive service management, and with the industry’s finest end user support service, Centili represents the perfect solution for all players in the dating industry.

Purchasing flows The Centili mobile payments service works equally seamlessly on both web-based platforms (desktop or mobile) and smartphone apps. The integration process is simple, smoothly enabling the extension of market coverage in a fast and efficient way. The look and feel of the payment screen is customisable, which adds to brand recognition of the dating service. Here are some examples on the payment flows in different channels.
1. WEB FLOW STEP 01 A user wants to purchase extra credits to unlock additional features or premium services offered by a dating portal. Clicking the “Pay by mobile” button redirects them to the payment page. In the first step, the user selects the desired package and enters their phone number into the web widget/payment form.
STEP 02 In the next step, the user receives the one time PIN code via SMS, which they enter into the payment widget/form. This way the purchase is authenticated and confirmed. The overall process takes less than 10 seconds.
With the purchase completed, extra coins are added to the user account. The purchase is charged to the user’s mobile phone bill.

2. SMARTPHONE APPS (In-app payments flow) Centili can be natively integrated in your Android or Windows Phone dating app thanks to our in-house developed libraries. This is exceptionally convenient for the overall user experience and conversion rate, since the end user benefits from a real one-tap payment flow, the most intuitive and hassle-free one available. From the dating provider side, the integration takes only a few minutes and is done only once. Complete service management can be performed through the Centili Partner Panel, instantly propagating all changes to the app through the library.
