JEGS, a leading retailer of high-performance auto parts, has launched a new enterprise-grade payments platform powered by PhaseZero.ai, a provider of AI-native, composable commerce solutions. The deployment brings together global payment processing, tokenization, and checkout experiences, along with fraud prevention tools, to help JEGS deliver a more secure, scalable, and resilient checkout experience for its customers.
Why it matters
Modernizing payments is a complex challenge for many businesses, as they need to improve the customer experience, security, and regulatory compliance, while also maintaining existing enterprise order fulfillment and operational systems. JEGS' partnership with PhaseZero.ai demonstrates how companies can transform their payments infrastructure without disrupting core operations.
The details
The new payments platform, powered by PhaseZero, Stripe, and Kount, enables JEGS to offer a more secure and seamless checkout experience for its customers. Key features include tokenized payments to eliminate exposure of raw card data, pre-authorization fraud checks, and support for mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay. The integrated solution also allows JEGS to maintain its existing enterprise order fulfillment and settlement processes, separating the customer experience from backend complexity.
