ClickandBuy
ClickandBuy was a billing or collection system of the company Firstgate. "ClickandBuy" enabled the economic payment of amounts (micro- and macropayment) on the Internet, in which all accruing sums were added up and settled once a month. The customer could also fill up his "ClickandBuy" account via various payment systems.
How it worked
Before the first use, the Internet buyer had to register and deposited a bank account or credit card data with ClickandBuy. The registration was one-time and free of charge. For subsequent online purchases, only the ClickandBuy user name and password had to be entered. Payments were made via ClickandBuy, by direct debit, credit card or with "topped-up" prepaid credit.
History
ClickandBuy was founded in 1999 by Firstgate Internet AG in Cologne. In 2006, the operating business was transferred to the United Kingdom (ClickandBuy International Limited). In 2010, ClickandBuy became a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom. Operations were discontinued on April 30, 2016.
