commercetools Collaborates with PayPal Braintree to Power Expanded Checkout Experiences for Consumers

MUNICH, GERMANY, Nov 6, 2023 – commercetools, the global leader in composable commerce, today announced a collaboration with PayPal to offer a wider range of payment options for customers via payment platform, PayPal Braintree. The new integration allows commercetools’ customers to seamlessly work with multiple payment providers, acquirers, and banks to optimize their customers’ experiences.

To provide our global customers with a solution that enhances their payment options, we wanted to implement a fintech solution for cross-border transactions to hundreds of global markets. PayPal’s association with MACH technology, cemented by their recent distinction as the MACH Alliance's first supporting member, makes them the ideal partner for this transformative endeavor.

Features include:

           
• Expanded payment options, including debit and credit cards, digital wallets, PayPal Later and local payment methods to 200+ markets in 135 currencies
