Stripe and Australia’s Zip Team Up to Boost Payments among Online Retailers

Digital payment processing giant Stripe has partnered
with Zip, an Australian-based buy now, pay later (BNPL) provider. This
collaboration promises to offer online retailers flexible payment options using
Stripe’s platform, allowing purchases to be split into four installments over
six weeks.

Expanding Reach Through Partnerships

The partnership followed Zip’s recent high-profile
collaborations, including integrations with Mastercard and Google Pay.
Zip’s Chief Commercial Officer, George Eliopoulos, highlighted the significance
of the Stripe partnership, noting that it mirrors similar efforts the company
has already implemented in Australia.

As the two entities undergo a “testing and
integration” phase, the company mentioned that the goal is to ensure
seamless functionality between Zip’s BNPL services and Stripe‘s payment
platform. According to Eliopoulos, the integration is on track, with a full
launch expected by the end of the year.

This partnership will initially focus on online
merchants, providing them with an additional payment method to offer their
customers. Zip’s recent collaboration spree illustrates its strategic focus on
expanding its footprint in the highly competitive BNPL market.

More Partnerships on the Horizon?

Eliopoulos hinted that Zip is not done yet and may
soon announce additional partnerships with other major payment companies,
though he refrained from naming specifics. The ongoing trend of partnerships
within the payments industry aims to broaden the distribution and adoption of
BNPL products; a strategy Zip intends to continue following.

Last month, Stripe partnered with Sage, a UK-based software company, to facilitate cash flow management and payment processing among small
and medium businesses. Stripe also debuted payment tools and financing options for
small businesses in the UK, promising faster and cheaper payments. Dubbed
Stripe Capital, the new offering enables businesses to access financing to
expand their operations.

On the new platform, Stripe utilizes business transaction
history to assess eligibility. For companies that qualify for the service,
funds reportedly arrive the next business day, and repayment occurs as the
enterprise earns.

Elsewhere, Stripe announced plans to relaunch crypto asset payments after ending Bitcoin transactions six years ago. The fintech firm will allow merchants to accept payments using stablecoins, which reportedly enables them to benefit from faster transactions and low fees when using digital assets.
