Paysafe has entered into a partnership to offer card payment processing through Primer’s unified payments infrastructure.

The integration links Paysafe to Primer via the no-code Primer for Partners programme. This gives online merchants using Primer access to Paysafe’s credit and debit card processing.

In a statement, Paysafe said Primer’s platform helps merchants to “intelligently route” transactions to their “preferred” payment service providers. With Paysafe now available on the platform, Primer and its merchants can use Paysafe to process credit card and debit card transactions within Primer’s orchestration set-up.

Paysafe said it tailored the integration for international merchants, citing its presence in more than 130 countries.

The service is now live on Primer and is processing payments for merchants operating across North America, Europe and Australasia, according to the announcement.

Paysafe chief revenue officer Rob Gatto said: “We’re delighted to partner with Primer, whose Primer for Partners solution empowered Paysafe to develop a bespoke integration, streamlining the payment journey for Primer’s merchant partners and their customers.

“We look forward to strengthening our offering within the Primer infrastructure and growing our presence across the broader payment orchestration space.”

The integration can be expanded through Primer for Partners without code changes. Planned additions include Paysafe’s local payment methods, including Skrill and Neteller digital wallets, as well as PaysafeCard and PaysafeCash.

Primer co-founder and CEO Gabriel Le Roux said: “For our merchants, having Paysafe accessible through Primer means more choice, better coverage, and faster access to a payment provider that’s been optimising card performance for decades.”

Paysafe has around 2,800 employees across 12 countries. The company’s annualised transaction volume stood at $167bn last year. Its stated sector focus includes iGaming, video gaming, e-commerce, online trading, retail, travel and hospitality.

Earlier this year, the payments platform launched a digital wallet, which is now live across 18 markets.
