BR-DGE partners PayPal to boost consumer payment experience

By Gloria Methri

Payment orchestration provider BR-DGE has announced its integration with PayPal to offer merchants greater payment choices and flexibility at online checkout.

This collaboration offers the latest integrations for BR-DGE merchants with PayPal’s complete payments platform (PPCP) and the PayPal Braintree platform.

BR-DGE’s merchants will have access to the latest PayPal technology enabling them to offer payment innovations to consumers via BR-DGE Connect, its payments ecosystem connectivity tool. Merchants will be able to access PayPal’s full stack of payment methods and features, including PayPal Pay Later and Venmo in the US coming later this year, and offer consumers greater flexibility at checkout.

As part of the integration, BR-DGE merchants will also have access to PayPal Braintree, allowing them to reach more buyers and drive higher conversion among customers. PayPal Braintree empowers consumers globally with the ability to pay how they want at leading e-commerce retailers.

Tapping into BR-DGE’s position, PayPal will also have access to a global network that empowers merchants across travel, leisure, retail and beyond.

Commenting on the partnership, Tom Voaden, Head of Partnerships and Channel Sales at BR-DGE, said, “We are on a mission to empower merchants with the latest payment innovations the industry has to offer. By partnering with PayPal, we can meet merchant and consumer needs with an easy-to-use and frictionless payment solution. As we look to process over £1.5 billion of transactions this year, this partnership will help our merchants drive revenues and provide customers with the best possible payment experience. We look forward to working with the PayPal team on this collaboration.”

Led by CEO Thomas Gillan, BR-DGE’s platform is revolutionising online payments for merchants by offering a universe of payment options via a single point of integration. BR-DGE continues to go from strength to strength following a record year of growth in 2023.
