Group Payments set to Arrive in Europe with Yourpay, Pay By Group Partnership
SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) October 23, 2017 -- U.S.-based Pay By Group and Denmark-based Yourpay today announced their partnership to bring Pay By Group’s group payment technology directly to the online checkout flow of more than 5,000 merchants across Europe. In addition to its proprietary checkout solution, Yourpay also serves merchants through direct plugins on leading e-commerce platforms such as Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Open Cart, Dandomain, and Magento. The partnership with Pay By Group will also add group payments to these plugins and more.
“We’re excited to partner with Pay By Group because many of our online merchants’ customers need to pay together. Pay By Group is the perfect solution,” said Mathias Gajhede, CEO of Yourpay. The partnership is also expected to boost transaction volume for Yourpay because group purchases tend to be 15% larger than single payer transactions. “This is a win-win for everyone — merchants, online shoppers, and our two companies,” added Camilo Acosta, CEO of Pay By Group.
The partnership marks the continuing rise of group commerce. Major companies such as Uber, Airbnb, and Lyft have in recent years added the ability for people to split the cost of a shared expense. By offering group payments as a service at the gateway level, thousands of small and medium sized companies in Europe now have a turn-key solution that large companies typically spend millions of dollars building in-house.
