Brite offers Instant Payments to Shopware merchants in Europe

By Gloria Methri

Brite Payments has partnered with e-commerce platform Shopware to offer its open banking-based instant payments to businesses across Europe.

Shopware merchants can now easily activate Pay by Bank (aka account-to-account or A2A payments), which enables their customers to pay instantly, directly from their bank account. The payments are highly secure and cost-effective and facilitated through the Brite Instant Payments Network (IPN).

Brite IPN is a proprietary network that leverages Europe’s open banking infrastructure. The result is a complete, out-of-the-box solution that Shopware merchants can conveniently access through a Shopware 6-compatible plugin.

Shopware is one of Europe’s largest open-source e-commerce platforms, serving more than 45,000 merchants. Shopware has a particularly strong presence in Germany, where Brite recently launched Instant Payments. Still, its footprint is expanding rapidly across Benelux and the Nordic countries – markets where Brite also has a complete product offering available to support merchants.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Brite Payments as a Gold Technology Partner and to expand the range of convenient, end-user-focused payment solutions available to our growing base of e-commerce merchants,” said Alexey Pronin, General Manager EMEA, Shopware. “Shopware is committed to giving merchants the variety of tools they need to succeed in the fast-changing world of online commerce – Brite Instant Payments is a powerful addition to that toolkit, representing a modern approach to Pay by Bank that puts customer experience at the forefront.”

“Shopware is a market leader in Germany, trusted by leading brands, and we’re excited to be able to offer them our intuitive instant payments solution,” said Luke Trayfoot, Chief Commercial Officer, Brite Payments. “Open banking-based payments offer huge potential, but we recognised early on that there was an appetite from merchants for more complete, easy-to-integrate solutions that reduce operational complexity as well as benefit their bottom line. Now, through our Shopware partnership, they have a simple way to activate Brite and see the impact on their business.”
