COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--2Checkout, a global online payments provider, today announced that Shopify, the leading commerce platform that allows anyone to easily sell online, in-store and anywhere in between, has integrated 2Checkout global payments option into its platform. This will provide Shopify customers with access to payments in 196 countries.
Accessibility to new market segments is a key driver for Shopify’s continued growth. By partnering with 2Checkout, Shopify can now offer a proven, trusted payment solution to its customers, in new and emerging markets.
“2Checkout delivers a local buying experience that scales globally for merchants and customers alike," said Louis Kearns, director of payments at Shopify. "Shopify’s 100,000+ merchants from around the world can now enable 2Checkout's secure, responsive, localized payments page to maximize checkout conversions in hundreds of markets.”
2Checkout’s payments service will be highlighted within Shopify’s platform in countries where their own payment solution, ‘Shopify Payments’ is not available. This will make 2Checkout one of the only available payments option in many emerging markets. At the same time, Shopify’s platform will be available to existing 2Checkout customers, providing an industry-leading commerce system on which to build their online stores.
“Shopify is the number one cart request that we get here at 2Checkout, so this partnership is a win for both parties,” said Kevin Gallagher, SVP of business development at 2Checkout. “With 2Checkout providing the payments, it is literally just one integration to reach the world.”
