Checkout.com has entered the in-person payments market through a new partnership with Mollie, enabling merchants to handle physical and online transactions via a single platform. The integration allows Mollie’s 350,000 users to manage both sales channels through a unified dashboard.
Why it matters
Merchants are increasingly demanding unified omnichannel processing to reduce friction and improve data management across physical and digital storefronts. This move allows Checkout.com to address that demand while leveraging its existing infrastructure to compete for in-person transaction volume.
Mollie currently supports more than 350,000 businesses, while Checkout.com projects it will process $480 billion in global ecommerce payments during 2026. The platform maintains a latency threshold of 500ms to facilitate rapid transaction speeds.
The players
Checkout.com
A global digital payments provider that focuses on high-performance acquiring infrastructure and merchant-facing platform features.
Mollie
A payment service provider serving more than 350,000 businesses, primarily focused on simplifying payments for merchants.
The details
The integration combines Mollie’s existing point-of-sale hardware and software with Checkout.com’s core acquiring infrastructure. By using a shared Unified Payments API, merchants can process both card-present and online payments within one system. Checkout.com’s device-agnostic approach allows the solution to integrate with a merchant's current hardware, removing the need for proprietary terminal replacements.
Timeline
2026: Checkout.com expects to process $480 billion in global ecommerce payments.
2027: Additional payment schemes, markets, and capabilities will be added to the platform.
Market Landscape
This partnership reflects the broader industry-wide shift toward unified omnichannel commerce as providers move to bridge digital payment infrastructure into the physical point-of-sale space. It signals a move by digital-first acquirers to capture in-person volume by integrating with established merchant platforms.
Operators currently using Mollie should evaluate their hardware compatibility to determine if they can transition to this unified system without replacing existing terminals. Review your current payment processing latency and fees to see if a consolidated omnichannel setup can lower your total cost of ownership.
The takeaway
The move underscores the growing competitive necessity for payment providers to offer a single, unified interface for all merchant sales channels. Monitor your payment platform's roadmap for 2027 to see if new regional schemes or hardware integrations align with your upcoming facility or market expansions.
