Paysafe has entered into a new partnership to be offered as a recommended card-acquiring option on Pay.com’s payment orchestration platform.

Under the agreement, Pay.com has also integrated several Paysafe alternative payment methods (APMs), including the Skrill and Neteller digital wallets and the PaysafeCard eCash solution.

The move will enable online merchants using Pay.com to route credit and debit card payments through Paysafe.

The orchestration technology uses advanced routing and a centralised risk engine to improve checkout performance and help increase acceptance and authorisation rates. Pay.com will make Paysafe available as an acquirer option for merchants operating in sectors such as e-commerce, travel, regulated iGaming and financial services.

Pay.com added Paysafe’s Skrill and Neteller wallets to broaden the payment methods available through its orchestration layer. The wallets operate across 130 countries and have established usage in iGaming and e-commerce, the company said.

Additionally, Pay.com has integrated PaysafeCard, a voucher-based payment method designed for consumers who prefer to pay online using cash.

Paysafe chief revenue officer Rob Gatto said: “We’re delighted to unveil our strategic partnership with Pay.com, a true innovator in the field of payments orchestration. Our collaboration will likely be a game-changer for online merchants, optimising payment routing, enhancing approval rates, and, above all, strengthening their checkouts and ultimately customer relationships.

“More broadly, with Paysafe’s heritage and with our payment solutions serving as trust-marks for merchants worldwide, we expect to support Pay.com’s business growth and global expansion.”

Paysafe is already processing payments for multiple Pay.com merchant customers. The companies said they expect to onboard more than 20 additional merchants under the partnership by the end of 2026.

In 2024, Paysafe reported an annualised transaction volume of $152bn. It supports 260 payment types across 48 currencies.

Pay.com chief revenue officer Nicholas Banerjee said: “Integrating Paysafe into our platform enhances the advanced orchestration capabilities we provide to merchants, helping them maximise authorisation rates and optimise every transaction.

“This partnership ensures our customers benefit from greater flexibility across card payments and a wide range of alternative payment methods.”
