What product do you want to use to change the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We want to make online payments as fast, easy, and secure as possible for our customers. When we started, this wasn&#039;t yet possible from a single source, and many technical products weren&#039;t yet adapted to modern business models, such as recurring payments, SaaS companies, etc. We wanted to change this and establish a PSP for the new digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. But that&#039;s been around for a long time!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our aim was to make the implementation as quick and easy as possible through a user-friendly API and good documentation<a href=\"https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/apo_st_martin_str_bs-84s.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9796\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-9796 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/apo_st_martin_str_bs-84s-440x293.jpg\" alt=\"Paymill office\" width=\"440\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/apo_st_martin_str_bs-84s-440x293.jpg 440w, https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/apo_st_martin_str_bs-84s-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/apo_st_martin_str_bs-84s-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/apo_st_martin_str_bs-84s-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cms.munich-startup.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/apo_st_martin_str_bs-84s-880x586.jpg 880w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a>mentation. We started with just a few lines of code.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, many additional features have been added, such as recurring payments, multi-user functionality, and our PCI-compliant payment form for direct integration into the merchant&#039;s shopping cart. Thanks to clear and well-thought-out documentation from the start, integrating our API is child&#039;s play for both developers and shop system users.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Three ingredients for your recipe for success?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Passion, continuity and the world&#039;s best team!<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Let\u2019s get down to business: How is business going?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#039;re very satisfied and now serve several thousand customers in over 34 countries \u2013 from small retailers to industry leaders like Freeletics. Our teams, whether in product development, sales &amp; marketing, or customer care, work hard every day to further improve the product and provide our customers with the best possible service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. What does Munich mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Munich has heart and mind. Thanks to the TU and LMU, you have highly trained specialists right on site, and the entire startup scene is very personal. While there are fewer events than in other major cities, you regularly meet the right contacts, which makes it easier to connect.<\/p>\n<p>People always say that everyone in Munich is so stuffy, but <strong>One should not confuse focus and concentration with philistinism<\/strong> confuse \u2013 especially at the beginning it is important not to get distracted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. English Garden or Isar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Definitely the Isar! Because, like us, it&#039;s always moving.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Update from April 28, 2016:<\/strong> Paymill has filed for strategic insolvency.
