Do you believe unified payment platforms significantly simplify global business for small merchants?
Getnet has deployed its Single Entry Point platform to centralize payment processing across European markets. The infrastructure is designed to simplify how merchants handle collections, currency conversion, and payouts in a complex cross-border landscape.
Why it matters
Businesses operating across Europe often struggle with the technical and regulatory fragmentation of managing multiple regional payment methods. This unified platform reduces operational overhead by consolidating these requirements into one integration.
The new infrastructure supports 20 currencies and facilitates payouts to 140 countries. This launch follows Getnet's established processing history of billions of transactions in Latin America.
The players
Getnet
A global payments processor with a significant transaction volume footprint in Latin America that provides collection and payout infrastructure for merchants.
The details
The platform allows merchants to connect to diverse European markets via a single API integration rather than building separate technical connections for each country. It automates the collection of funds, financial reconciliation, and currency conversion, while providing direct access to local payment schemes like Bizum in Spain and MB WAY in Portugal. The system aims to mitigate the friction businesses typically face when navigating varied payment regulations and methods across international borders.
Timeline

Market Landscape
This move reflects the ongoing push to lower barriers in European digital commerce following the mandates of the European Union's Revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2). It follows a broader trend among processors to consolidate fragmented regional gateways into singular, scalable tech stacks.
Operators currently maintaining separate payment connections for Spain and Portugal should evaluate whether a consolidated integration reduces their total reconciliation costs. Monitor how this platform handles upcoming additions in instant and account-to-account payment capabilities.
The takeaway
Unified payment gateways are increasingly essential for managing the complexities of multi-market European expansion. Businesses should track if their current provider offers similar single-integration capabilities to avoid the high costs of maintaining fragmented regional payment technical stacks.
