BlueSnap
A Unified Solution to Process Global Payments

Ralph Dangelmaier, CEODangelmaier had the vision to build the next generation of global and mobile e-commerce payment solution delivered through a single integration with sophisticated features built-in. To transform his vision into reality, Dangelmaier assembled a globally-minded, incredibly creative team to drive the BlueSnap platform’s rapid evolution and innovation. BlueSnap’s platform enables SMB and independent software vendors alike to quickly facilitate e-commerce, without the complex integration of disparate applications such as shopping carts, e-wallets, payment types, and fraud prevention.
Usually, the payment platforms used by small players support only a few payment options, and this, in turn, limits their global outreach.
For SMB it is a rarity to find to payment provider that can support their needs domestically and internationally, simplifying their technology stack
BlueSnap has introduced the online and mobile checkout feature that provides customized checkout experiences. Through a single integration, the API accepts global payments and supports multiple payment types including e-wallets such as Google Pay, Apple Pay, and PayPal, among many others. The pre-integrated API reduces the development time while allowing the developers to create customized experiences with its library of SDKs. Also, it unshackles the companies from the need to invest resources in meeting the PCI DSS compliance.
Unlike other payment solutions, the platform has the next level of customization features, as Dangelmaier remarks with the example of a bespoke invoice system, “It’s a rarity, or unheard of, to find an invoice payment system where invoices generated and sent to customers have ‘Pay Now’ buttons to make the payment.” BlueSnap also supports orders processed through virtual terminals.
Looking ahead with an aim to enable frictionless omnichannel experiences, BlueSnap will offer simplified next-generation POS payment systems that are designed to cater to merchants operating physical and digital stores. “Whether the customers buy in-store, online (web or mobile), or from a combo of these, the platform will offer the tools to deliver modern experiences such as buy online, pick up in store and buy online, return at the store,” says Dangelmaier. It will also provide a real-time view of performance across channels.
With his in-depth knowledge of the vast and complex payment industry, Dangelmaier worked to gain the commitment of top financial leaders and payment partners, forging partnerships with over 30 global banks and hundreds of integrated service vendors. “The substantial product investment has paid off,” says Dangelmaier. BlueSnap regularly converts merchants from key competitors like Stripe, Braintree, and Paypal. More businesses from across the globe are approaching BlueSnap to consolidate their cumbersome and time-consuming payment gateways. The All-in-one Payment Platform has enabled BlueSnap to achieve strong revenue growth, win over 20 awards for innovation, and in the journey allowed thousands of B2B and B2C e-commerce merchants to transform their payments model.

BlueSnap Partners with BigTime Software to Deliver Enhanced Online Payment Experiences for Global Professional Services Organizations
Powered by BlueSnap’s payment processing technology, BigTime will extend the availability of BigTime Wallet, its award-winning payments solution, to small and mid-sized professional services organizations in Canada seeking optimized financial management, streamlined accounts receivable (AR) processes, and efficient online payment capabilities to enhance cash flow and client interactions.
“Even though paper-based checks slow payment and AR processes and present a range of hidden costs and security risks, they continue to be the primary form of payment used by Canada’s professional services companies today,” said Ralph Dangelmaier, CEO at BlueSnap. “By enabling the availability of BigTime Wallet in Canada through this partnership, we’re helping BigTime meet the demands of clients in need of modernized, online payment and financial management capabilities.”
BigTime Software provides industry-leading time tracking, billing, and project management software to empower professional services organizations with enhanced operational efficiency. Canadian organizations that adopt BigTime Wallet will be able to leverage BlueSnap technology to process payments via their customers' preferred method, resulting in an improved invoice and billing experience for their clients and an increase in time to revenue. Moreover, Canadian businesses will have the advantage of utilizing a client portal integrated within BigTime, facilitating seamless and secure communication with customers.
According to reports, B2B companies offering multiple payment options within an integrated payments experience can see as much as a 30% boost in revenue. With BigTime Wallet, finance leaders can align automated accounts receivable processes with improved speed, security, and cost-effectiveness to enhance cash flow and drive profit growth. Concurrently, operations and project managers can optimize financial operations for seamless project execution and efficient financial management.
"Simplifying the payment process to expedite cash flow is a shared priority among professional service firms,” said Mark Johnson, Chief Product Officer at BigTime. “Our partnership with BlueSnap now extends this service to Canada, offering fully integrated payments, invoicing, and accounting reconciliation for our customers in that market."
In addition to the existing features available to all BigTime Wallet customers, Canadian organizations will also have access to exclusive benefits such as a Pre-Authorized Debit payment option, which eliminates payment size limits, reduces the likelihood of payment failures, and contributes to a decrease in Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), enhancing financial management and cash flow.
"Upgrading to BigTime was a great step forward in streamlining and modernizing our software landscape. When we heard about Wallet coming to Canada, we were excited,” said Miles A. Purvis, CMSE, President at ProSafe Inc. “We are not a point-of-sale type business, so cash flow is always an ongoing concern. We provide any means we can to make paying an invoice as easy as possible for clients, and we anticipate Wallet becoming another mainstream option."
