In this first blog post, we will introduce ourselves and give some insight into our payment solution.

"The e-commerce landscape is dynamic and ever-evolving, requiring business to adapt and innovate constantly."

Jack Ma
Former CEO of Alibaba Group

The world of e-commerce is a dynamic, ever-changing environment. Modernization and innovation are essential in today’s age to enhance and secure one’s competitive edge.

As part of this digital and dynamic landscape, we — collana hive — have committed ourselves to making the e-commerce experience more flexible and straightforward by taking the burden of payment issues off businesses.

And now, a warm welcome to our first blog post!

Let’s start by introducing ourselves:

We are collana hive, a software company based in Hamburg and Flensburg in Germany. As a spin-off of MAC-IT Solutions, we benefit from over two decades of experience and expertise in e-commerce gathered by MAC through their ERP system, DiVa.

Due to numerous testimonials and customer feedback from MAC, it became clear that the integration of payment options often posed difficulties during the implementation process. If something didn’t function as expected, both revenue and the error rate in transactions could be negatively impacted.

That’s why we at collana hive have focused on simplifying this process and offering an appropriate solution.

Our goal:

To make the integration of payment options and payment service providers as easy as ever.

The advantages:

Instead of having to use and potentially program many different interfaces to individual PSPs, our clients need only one conection with collana pay to access a multitude of different payment service providers. This provides our customers not only with quick and simple installation but also the ability to flexibly design and adapt their checkout process.

With the standardization of collana pay, individual development phases are eliminated, facilitating faster and more flexible market entry.

Additionally, our Data Analytics tool aggregates payment data from various PSPs, providing deep analysis and insights into payment processes, all summarized in one dashboard.
