The Football League Scores More Registrations with Magento Enterprise

UK parents rejoice: The Football League – the world’s original league football competition – just made it easier to enroll aspiring David Beckhams and Kelly Smiths in their local club’s soccer schools.

Prior to August 2011, parents had to cart their kids (in a minivan, we presume) to various clubs across England and Wales to register them in person for a coaching course. But since The Football League adopted the Magento Enterprise platform, parents can now do it in just a few clicks, from the comfort of their own computers.

Parents can search – and sign their kids up – for Official Football League club soccer schools based on location, date, age group and activity. And they can pay for it in one single transaction through a synced, centralized website built and supported by Magento Solution Partner Session Digital.

The switch to online registrations put an end to processing tons of paperwork, which made life easier for Mother Nature’s forests and for the clubs’ soccer school administrators. It also helped to generate nearly £15,000 in revenue for The Football League’s participating clubs in the first few months. Now that’s a big win.

Thousands of companies – including many of the world’s biggest brands – are using Magento Enterprise to grow their online businesses. Wondering how Magento Enterprise can help your business?

Boost Sales, Beat Fraud

The rise of card-not-present(CNP) and e-commerce transactions has created a new, sophisticated level of international criminals. All types and sizes of merchants have been forced to impose hard-and-fast rules on which transactions to accept and which to decline. This “blanket” approach may stop many fraudulent transactions, but it also blocks many legitimate, honest consumers — in the U.S. and worldwide.
This webinar will explain how some fraud strategies can actually be slowing or stopping good orders from being accepted. These “symptoms of fraud” could be hurting your chances to increase sales and expand into new products or markets.
Kount is a leading provider of fraud solutions for CNP merchants. They make reducing fraud and increasing sales easy.
