Mollie and PayPal join forces to simplify marketplace payments across Europe, offering seamless options like BNPL, local methods, and gift cards, with reduced operational costs through Mollie Connect’s streamlined support and integration.
Mollie, a fast-growing European fintech company, announced a strategic partnership with PayPal on November 26, 2024, in Amsterdam. This collaboration enables marketplaces in the EU and UK to integrate PayPal without needing separate setups. Mollie now offers a comprehensive payment suite, including credit/debit cards, digital wallets, bank transfers, and Buy Now Pay Later options. It is the only provider accepting gift cards for multi-seller checkouts, enhancing flexibility for marketplace platforms.
Mollie Connect, a managed service by Mollie, simplifies operations for marketplaces by handling onboarding and technical complexities. According to Paul van der Boor, Group Product Manager for Partnerships, this feature lets businesses cut costs and scale effortlessly.
