Payments Challenges
- Deliver the best-in-class Payments Experience to end users, Managing Multiple Payment Gateways (Interoperability), and robust visibility over the entire Payments Stack.
- Payment Process is critical to any business and this is true for aviation brands.
- High value ticket transactions and tight security measures could complicate the payment ecosystem and when you are the largest airline in India with a domestic market share of of ~54.6%, every aspect of the payment process requires careful scrutiny.
With the financial impact pandemic has had on all of us, having flexible payment options is a boon. So how can an aviation brand improve their payment processes while making the checkout journey seamless & hassle free?
Solution
To begin with, multi PG interoperability when it comes to handling transactions and fallback gateways to salvage increased payment failures become a no brainer so we picked this problem to address first. Existing direct integrations of Indigo were re-configured via Juspay and our dynamic routing module managing the traffic split while also giving a holistic view of all incoming payments made on the platform ( App & Web ) on our Unified dashboard.
In addition to this, if there is a differential pricing at a payment method level - this logic can also be fed into the Juspay dashboard which will then act as boundary guidelines while routing transactions.
End customer benefits via improved conversion on payments, and in an industry where fares are dynamic, this helps them in securing the right fare at the right time in one go.
When you work with legacy business lines, one must understand that any small change can essentially disrupt data flow be it with respect to PNR allocation, revenue accounting, reconciliation, etc. In order to achieve no hiccups whatsoever, every department within was brought to the drawing board to explain modules that are critical for business as usual. This became the foundation for us to effectively manage the project ensuring we have respective buy in and sign off across stakeholders. We also picked up an integration in parallel with a global payments player, WorldPay for all of their non INR transactions.
Impact
The Payments Challenges faced by airline businesses are fairly complex and the solutions are rooted in deep technical collaboration with every department. Streamlining Payments results in better customer experience and reduced operational overhead, turning Payments into a growth engine.
