Trip.com is working with Checkout.com to improve payments for travelers booking across its global platform.

The partnership will see Trip.com roll out digital card payment services through Checkout.com in markets including the UK, Japan and Saudi Arabia, with further expansion planned in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Trip.com offers hotel bookings, flights, trains, car rentals and attractions, and operates in 24 languages across 39 countries and regions.

The two companies are also exploring additional local payment methods beyond online card payments, including e-wallets and bank transfers, to support customers in different markets.

Trip.com has adopted Checkout.com’s standalone 3D Secure authentication service and is also exploring tools for card storage, identity verification and issuing as it expands its payments setup.

Brian Sze, President of Checkout.com Asia Pacific, said,

“As one of the fastest-growing travel platforms globally, Trip.com is at the forefront of digital travel, and we’re proud to support its global expansion with the payment infrastructure needed to thrive in today’s digital economy.

Our collaboration goes beyond processing transactions – it’s about co-creating a payment strategy that drives performance, reduces friction, and supports the growth of the tourism industry through digital innovation.”

Wang Zhe, Vice President of Trip.com Group, said,

“ Checkout.com’s global acquiring capabilities and modular technology give us the flexibility to tailor our payment strategy by market – improving success rates, reducing costs, and ultimately delivering a better experience for our customers.

This partnership strengthens our ability to innovate at speed and scale as we connect travelers with the world around them.”
