BOSTON, MA, April 16, 2014– Today BlueSnap announced its Smarter Payment Gateway has been selected as a finalist in the Best Innovation in Shopping/Commerce Product category for the MITX What’s Next Awards.

The platform’s features and functions help merchants break into new global markets, eliminate snags that cause shoppers to abort the purchase process, and build their bottom line through increased sales.
“We are thrilled to be named a finalist for our Smarter Payment Gateway,” said Ralph Dangelmaier, CEO of BlueSnap. “Globalization is one driver of innovation in the payments space and it is essential to offer a truly localized shopping experience, on any device, to increase sales from around the world. BlueSnap understood this trend early, and we have optimized our gateway for the global marketplace allowing more merchants to sell globally and convert more shoppers to buyers.”
