Putting Customers First— In Practice
Putting customers first is more than a slogan—it’s how we operate at CSG. That's why we listen closely and act on what we learn, making sure our customers and partners remain central to every decision.
Rather than chasing sweeping changes in 2025, we enhanced and polished the everyday experiences that matter most. By improving those small interactions, we build trust and loyalty during quick, meaningful moments when customers connect with our platforms and rely on us to connect them—where they want, when they want.
BillPay Enhancements
We dedicated 2025 to refining our BillPay experience so you get paid faster while strengthening trust with your customers and simplifying your daily operations. We made it even easier to work with our platform’s:
Clean, intuitive design
Streamlined layout for effortless navigation.
Transparent service fees
Any applicable fees displayed upfront for full clarity.
Simplified payment steps
Guided workflow ensures a smooth, stress-free process.
Expect even better outcomes, such as:
Higher completion rates
Fewer support calls
Stronger brand perception
BillPay is rated with 5 stars by 80% of our guest payers.
Checkout, Upgraded
Our payment form has always made checkout simple and secure. Now, you can take it a step further by embedding the entire payment experience right into your webpage. No extra steps, no interruptions—just a seamless, branded flow that gives you complete control and keeps customers with you from start to finish.
The embedded option fits naturally within your checkout process, helping you maintain consistency and increase payment completions. Prefer the classic pop-up? The modal form is still available for quick pay-now or overlay use cases. And switching between modes is simple—adjust one parameter without changing your payment logic.
Both options are mobile-friendly and responsive, supporting key capabilities like:
Token creation
Payment processing
Scheduling
Secure Web Pay V3: Smarter, More Flexible
The next generation of Secure Web Pay (SWP) is here, delivering a fully modernized experience with powerful customization and enhanced usability, including:
Design flexibility – Tailor colors, field labels and layouts for a payment experience that fits your brand. All these changes are available in Dex.
Advanced features – Configure scheduled recurring payments and add custom field types to capture all reconciliation details.
Enhanced usability – Progress indicators, improved date pickers, instant card-type detection and clearer validation errors create a frictionless experience.
