Checkout.com is expanding into the in-person payments market through a new strategic partnership with Mollie. The collaboration enables merchants to manage both online and physical sales channels through a unified dashboard and API.
Why it matters
The move responds to growing demand from European merchants seeking to bridge the gap between their digital and brick-and-mortar operations. By integrating Mollie’s hardware and software with Checkout.com's acquiring infrastructure, businesses can streamline their payment ecosystems.
Mollie currently supports 350,000 businesses, while Checkout.com maintains a platform latency of under 500ms. The infrastructure supports 500 code releases per day and is projected to process $480 billion in global ecommerce payments in 2026.

Market Landscape
This partnership mirrors the broader industry trend of consolidating fragmented payment stacks to improve operational efficiency. It positions Checkout.com to compete more effectively against legacy providers by offering a unified infrastructure that bridges online and physical retail sales.
Merchants using these platforms will benefit from a single dashboard to track all sales, potentially reducing administrative overhead for payment reconciliation. Retailers currently served by Mollie can expect access to this expanded payment capability in the UK and EEA before a wider US rollout.
