FIS launches single point of integration for global merchants

Merchant and financial service specialists, FIS has announced its Access Worldpay gateway, a single point of integration for global merchants to quickly deploy a full range of advanced payment capabilities.

The new service provides a single API for merchants to access global payment capabilities. When integrated with Access Worldpay, merchants can build their payment systems to meet the demands of modern consumers using advanced data analytics, tokenization and fraud protection to improve authorization and conversion rates.

Austin Taylor, Director of Payments Operations at Etsy, commented: “At Etsy, we give our community of sellers the platform to turn their creativity into success, but we also need to protect every payment for our sellers and buyers to shop with confidence. 

“Because of the ease of integration, highly-secure tokenization and rich data analytics capabilities, Access Worldpay offered us industry-leading differentiators—the ability to see and understand our payments acceptance rates across all markets, and what steps could be taken to optimise authorisations.”

The move is the latest step in the firm’s ambitions to provide smarter technology and streamlined access to a comprehensive suite of payment capabilities across the world. 

Access Worldpay leverages FIS’ cloud-based global failover network to provide world-class levels of scale, global reach and reliability. The gateway is able to process billions of transactions annually across 146 countries and more than 300 payment types in 126 currencies.

Shane Happach, EVP, Head of Global eCommerce, Worldpay Merchant Solutions, FIS added: “Access Worldpay provides the tools merchants need to be nimble in the face of current challenges. It also brings the scale and easy integration needed to grow their online businesses globally, without the need to have numerous payment partners.”
