Retailers and hospitality providers can now earn free advertising with the Stray Ferret – by switching their payments system to Worldpay. 

The Stray Ferret is a referral partner of the global payment processing company, and has negotiated an agreement that sees everyone win. 

After a client signs up to Worldpay following a Stray Ferret introduction, a small fraction of the Worldpay invoice total is passed to the Stray Ferret. There is no uplift to the invoice total to cover this arrangement. 

Emma Harris, commercial manager at the Stray Ferret, said: 

“This is such a genius arrangement. Our clients are quoted competitive fee structures and get free advertising with us. 

“That counts for a lot. We have about 2.3 million page views each month, and we’re now the district’s most-read online local news source – so advertising with us really works. And when it’s free, what’s not to like?” 

Part of FIS, Worldpay is one of the world’s largest payment processors, handling more than 40 billion transactions a year in 126 currencies, worth more than $1.5 trillion. 

It is trusted by some of the best-known companies in the world, including Google, Microsoft, Sony and Samsung, as well as British household names such as Sainsbury’s, Tesco, M&S and Boots. 

Its terminals accept payment from all the main providers, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apply Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay. Clients have access to a dedicated account manager and 24/7 customer support, and the company offers next-business-day machine replacement.

Emma added:

“Worldpay already has a great proposition, but coupled with the option of free advertising with the Stray Ferret, it’s absolutely compelling. If your business takes card payments, this really is a no-brainer.”
