Odoo + FPS: The perfect match for HK business

In Hong Kong’s competitive landscape, efficiency isn’t just a goal, it’s survival. For businesses running on Odoo, the platform offers a world-class suite of tools to manage everything from inventory to accounting. However, many businesses still face “last-mile” friction points: high payment processing fees and the tedious manual administration of cheques and bank transfers.

With FPS by Divit’s Odoo integration, smart businesses can now bridge this gap. Here is why this combination is the gold standard for Hong Kong enterprises.

1. Drastic Reduction in Payment Costs

Credit cards have long been the default for digital payments, but they come at a steep price. For every transaction, standard gateways can take upwards of 2.9% + HK$2.35. For a business doing HK$1M in monthly turnover, that’s over HK$30,000 lost to fees every single month.

The FPS Advantage: By using FPS by Divit within Odoo, you bypass high-cost credit card networks entirely.

• Keep your margins: Increase your profit margins by over 2% simply by saving on credit card transaction fees.
• Same-day settlement: Unlike card payments which can take days to clear, Divit funds your bank account daily, improving your working capital.

2. Divit’s Seamless “Pay by Bank” Experience

A common concern for businesses is whether moving away from cards will hurt the customer experience. With Divit’s Pay by Bank app solution, the experience is actually faster and more secure than entering card details.

The User Journey:

• Mobile Experience: If a customer is shopping on their phone via your Odoo eCommerce store, they simply click “Pay with FPS”. Instead of manually capturing a QR code, the solution deep-links directly to your customer’s preferred mobile banking app (like HSBC, Hang Seng, or BOC).
• Biometric Security: The customer authenticates the payment using FaceID or their fingerprint within their own trusted banking app.
• Zero Data Entry: No payment amounts to enter. No card numbers to type. No expiry dates to check. No CVV codes to remember. One tap, and the payment is authorized.

3. End-to-End Workflow Automation

The true power of Odoo lies in its ability to automate repetitive tasks. Yet, many businesses are overly reliant on manual payment processes which is time consuming and error prone for business administrators.

The Divit + Odoo Synergy:

• Dynamic QR & Links: Odoo generates a unique, transaction-specific FPS QR code or payment link for every invoice.
• Real-time Webhooks: The moment a customer authorizes the payment in their bank app, Divit sends a payment confirmation back to your Odoo instance.
• Automated Reconciliation: Odoo automatically marks the invoice as “Paid” and creates the relevant journal entries. This triggers the next step in your workflow —whether that is generating a delivery order or updating your CRM — without a single human click.

The Bottom Line

Running Odoo without an integrated local payment solution is like owning a high-performance car but hand-pumping the fuel. By adopting FPS by Divit, you eliminate the two biggest headaches in the payment cycle: high costs and manual data entry, all while giving your customers a modern, biometric-secured checkout experience.
