Fintech firm Payoneer has teamed up with Stripe to offer improved checkout experiences for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) engaging in online sales.  

The partnership marks as the expansion of Payoneer’s Online Checkout service, which is tailored for merchants conducting cross-border transactions. 

The service upgrade, which will initially be rolled out in the Asia Pacific region, specifically China and Hong Kong, will incorporate Stripe’s technology.  

As a result, SMBs will be able to accept payment methods at their online webstore checkouts.  

This includes the integration of buy now pay later (BNPL) services such as Affirm and Klarna, as well as digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. 

Since the launch of Payoneer Checkout three years ago, the service has achieved a run-rate annual volume that is approaching $1bn, said Payoneer in a press statement.  

In the year ending 30 June 2025, the service has brought in $30m in revenue. 

The collaboration is anticipated to offer multiple benefits to SMBs, including the potential for better conversion rates, payment acceptance rates, reduced instances of fraud, and payment options for customers shopping on eCommerce platforms. 

Payoneer chief growth officer Adam Cohen said: “By combining Payoneer’s local market distribution and expertise with Stripe’s exceptional checkout technology, we’re combining the strengths of both companies to deliver unmatched value to our customers.” 

In April this year, Payoneer acquired Easylink Payment, a licenced payment service provider in China.  

The acquisition followed Payoneer’s purchase of Skuad, a Singapore-based payroll/HR platform, in August 2024 for $61m in cash. Skuad was formed in 2019 by Sundeep Sahi. 

In April 2023, Payoneer partnered with Zoho, a global technology company, to provide a range of business software solutions.
