Mastercard unveils payment experience bot for Facebook Messenger

Mastercard has struck a partnership with Getir that will introduce a payment experience for Getir’s bot for Facebook Messenger.

Masterpass, the Mastercard digital payment solution and Getir, the pioneer of mobile retail, now offer a brand new shopping experience in Turkey. With this new solution, customers can use Getir’s bot for Messenger to choose products, place an order, and now make payments easier and secure, all without ever leaving the chat window. Customers simply search for ‘Getir’ in Messenger, chat with an intelligent bot in a natural, conversational way, and make a secure payment with Masterpass.

Customers can receive 10-minute delivery from Getir’s 600+ everyday items using Messenger, all the while making seamless one-click payments through Masterpass.

With Masterpass payment technology and Getir’s unique delivery model (1 million deliveries as of January 2017), the two technology companies have streamlined shopping.

This is the first use of Masterpass payment technology using a bot for Messenger.
