Rovio, creator of the Angry Birds mobile game and merchandise franchise, has selected online and mobile commerce payment platform, Braintree, as the payment gateway for its online and mobile store (view press release). As a result of the deal, Rovio’s online and mobile store will be able to accept payments in around 130 currencies. Braintree claims its payment gateway can handle the high demands associated with new game releases and solve issues for bandwidth efficient transactions, encryption of credit card data on mobile devices and one-click checkout.
Braintree’s payment gateway is also designed to reduce clients’ PCI compliance requirements due to its redirect, client-side encryption and innovation vault features, which allow merchants to receive payments and store payment information without handling sensitive credit card data.
