The integration that could end payment complexity for travel merchants

A strategic development for the financial and travel technology sectors, Juspay, a global payments platform, has announced a new partnership with Outpayce from Amadeus, a major player in the travel technology space. This collaboration is set to integrate Juspay’s payment platform into Outpayce’s Xchange Payment Platform (XPP).

A Unified Approach to Streamline Travel Payments

This partnership directly tackles the complex and fragmented nature of payments within the global travel industry, which includes airlines, hotels, and a variety of other travel-related businesses. The integration will provide these travel businesses with a single point of access to over 300 global acquirers and a vast number of local payment methods. As a result, companies can significantly accelerate their time-to-market when expanding into new geographies, bypassing the need for complex technical implementations.

A primary benefit for travel merchants is the ability to deliver a truly localized and seamless checkout experience for their customers. The partnership enables access to a wide array of payment methods, allowing customers to use their preferred options, from native payment journeys to advanced tokenization capabilities. This streamlined process is expected to reduce cart abandonment and boost conversion rates by delivering a frictionless and intuitive user experience.

Powering the Future of Payments with High-Performance Technology

“At Juspay, we believe payments should be invisible,” said Sheetal Lalwani, Co-founder & COO at Juspay. “They should be simple and seamless for customers, yet deeply optimized under the hood”. Lalwani emphasized that Outpayce shares this philosophy, and together, they aim to empower travel companies with fast, intuitive, and reliable payment experiences that can scale globally while adapting locally.

Juspay’s technology is a powerful component of this new alliance. The company processes over 200 million daily transactions, with an annualized total payment volume (TPV) exceeding $900 billion. With a remarkable 99.999% reliability, this high-performance infrastructure is a critical asset for the travel industry, where transaction speed and reliability are paramount for business operations and customer satisfaction.

Commenting on the collaboration, Damian Alonso, Head of Commercial and Partnerships at Outpayce, stated, “By integrating Juspay’s payments technology platform into XPP, we aim to deliver the best payment journeys for both travelers and travel merchants around the world”.

Strategic Implications for Fintech and Financial Services

This partnership highlights the growing importance of strategic integrations in the fintech sector. By focusing on a single integration point, the two companies are helping to alleviate the technical and operational complexities that often hinder expansion and innovation for travel businesses. This move not only reinforces Juspay’s commitment to delivering innovative solutions to the travel sector but also helps Outpayce from Amadeus further its mission of making travel payments simple and efficient.

In essence, the alliance demonstrates a clear trend in the financial technology industry towards creating unified, end-to-end platforms that solve specific industry-wide pain points, such as fragmented payment systems in travel. This model provides a blueprint for how financial technology companies can collaborate to create more resilient, efficient, and user-friendly systems.
