This solution is ideal for high-growth digital and e-commerce merchants operating across multiple European markets.
-
Domestic card processing occurs when the acquirer and issuer are in the same country/jurisdiction. The merchant's location doesn't matter. Domestic transactions typically have lower interchange fees and higher approval rates, compared to cross border card processing, which occurs when the acquirer and issuer are located in different countries/jurisdictions. Global Collect offers both domestic and cross border processing in Europe.
-
After your customer pays, Worldline manages the entire payment journey. We intelligently route transactions through domestic or cross border channels, to maximise approvals and minimise interchange costs.
When the issuing bank settles funds, we process them through the optimal acquiring network and transfer them to your bank account in your preferred currency. You receive detailed financial reporting with full visibility into transactions, settlement status, and performance across all 27+ European markets.
-
We support all of the world's currencies in Europe for authorisation. We support the following currencies for settlement: AED, AUD, CAD, CHF, DKK, EUR, GBP, HKD, HUF, JPY, NOK, NZD, PLN, THB, SEK, SGD, USD, and ZAR.

Flexible onboarding: The speed of onboarding can vary depending on your specific integration choice and business complexity. However, Global Collect is designed for efficiency.
Sandbox environment: We offer a "Signup for Sandbox" option, allowing you to test integrations and explore functionalities with minimal delay and no commitment. This is the fastest way to begin technical validation.
Streamlined live onboarding: For businesses ready to go live, our dedicated integration teams guide you through the process. Depending on your chosen integration method and readiness of your systems, merchants can often go live within weeks, rather than months. Our goal is to minimise time-to-market.
Integration options: Global Collect provides a variety of integration pathways to match your technical capabilities and business needs:
RESTful API: For maximum flexibility and customisability, connect directly to our powerful API. This is ideal for building bespoke payment experiences within your own platform. We offer clear documentation for both Server-to-Server communication (for core payment actions) and Client-to-Server (for custom UI elements).
SDKs: We provide a comprehensive suite of Software Development Kits (SDKs) for popular programming languages (Java, PHP, Node.js, .NET, Python, Ruby, Go) and mobile platforms (Android, iOS, Flutter, Swift, JavaScript browser SDKs). These simplify developer workflows and accelerate integration.
Hosted Checkout (MyCheckout): A solution that allows you to offer a Worldline-hosted payment page to your customers. This option requires less development effort, has fewer PCI compliance scope implications, and is quick to implement.
Plugins: For popular e-commerce platforms like VTEX and Magento 2, Global Collect provides specialised plugins. These enable merchants to integrate payment processing capabilities with minimal to no technical development, offering a fast and secure way to get started.
