Payments firm Payoneer has announced a partnership with Stripe to expand its online checkout services for cross-border small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that sell directly to consumers.

The rollout will begin in Asia Pacific markets, including China and Hong Kong, before expanding further.

Merchants using Payoneer Checkout will be able to accept a wider range of payment options such as Buy Now Pay Later services from Affirm and Klarna, as well as digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Since launching three years ago, Payoneer Checkout has scaled from zero to nearly US$1 billion in run-rate annual volume.

For the 12 months to June 30, 2025, it generated US$30 million in revenue, more than double the previous year.

The partnership aims to expand payment options for SMBs selling direct-to-consumer via their own e-commerce webstores, improve acceptance rates, reduce fraud, and boost customer conversion.

“We are committed to simplifying cross-border online trade for SMBs. This partnership with Stripe is a strategic step in our journey to expand our Checkout offering and deliver a best-in-class user experience at scale.

By combining Payoneer’s local market distribution and expertise with Stripe’s exceptional checkout technology, we’re combining the strengths of both companies to deliver unmatched value to our customers.”

said Adam Cohen, Chief Growth Officer, Payoneer.
