How Trip.com payments strategy set revenue skyrocketing.
Trip.com brings the world to people’s fingertips. Launched in 2017 as a one-stop shop travel booking platform, Trip.com connects travellers around the globe to over 5,000 cities, making it easy to fly over three million individual routes and find hotels, trains and cars to complete the experience. Part of the Ctrip Group, the world’s second-largest travel booking company, Trip.com’s ambition is paying off, serving thousands of customers across Asia, Europe and North America. Here we explore how we helped transform Trip.com’s business, boosting revenue and securing a ticket for global expansion.
Seamless worldwide payments deliver growth for travel booking platform.
With its sights firmly set on international success, Trip.com has gone from strength to strength. But this growth hasn’t come without challenges, especially when preferred payment methods for travellers and operators vary in every market.
With global ambitions, the booming travel start-up sought a new way to manage cross-border payments, and upgrade customer experience to first class.
But there have been obstacles - particularly with payments.
Serving the needs of operators in different territories with various preferred payment methods was proving a challenge. To serve its worldwide base, Trip.com needs quick and easy access to local payment solutions to power ambitious rapid global expansion.
At the same time, revolutionising its payments system must save time, grow conversion, deliver great customer experiences and reduce processing costs. Addressing payments must prove a win-win for Trip.com and its customers.
That’s where we stepped in.
“Worldline’s pedigree and global experience means they are the perfect partner to support us in providing the best possible local service in each of our markets. Without them we wouldn’t have realised the growth we have already achieved and would not be in the position we are now to continue our upwards trajectory.”

High-flying results
“From the beginning, Worldline has demonstrated clear strengths in transaction conversion rates and stability. However, they go above and beyond to deliver the tools to help us monitor every aspect of our transaction process – not just conversion rates – so we can understand exactly what we need to do to go above and beyond our customers’ expectations and grow our business.”
