Viva.com has entered a partnership with Satispay to offer alternate payment options for businesses in France, Italy, and Luxembourg. Satispay provides a seamless and secure payment option for customers who can use its app to pay by scanning a QR code in physical or e-commerce digital channels.

The new partnership will enable merchants that use Viva.com’s Tap on Any Device technology for in-store purchases to accept payments using Satispay at checkout. They can also use Smart Checkout for online transactions.

Viva.com’s omnichannel offering includes acceptance via any payment channel – utilizing Tap on Any Device with its Terminal app supporting 985+ devices, e-commerce solutions, and marketplace payment capabilities.

In an era where the digital economy continues to develop at pace, this partnership will further enhance the payment experience for merchants and consumers in Italy, France, and Luxembourg, leveraging Viva.com’s extensive European footprint. Through this collaboration, thousands of new merchants in these countries will be activated to accept payments with Satispay.

Harry Xenophontos, Chief Partnerships Officer at Viva.com, said, “Connecting with local financial systems and enabling connectivity to dominant local card schemes and alternative payment methods is an essential part of Viva.com’s expansion in the 24 European markets of operation. Our partnership with Satispay will offer our merchants and their consumers versatility, even greater flexibility, and convenience at checkout. Satispay’s commitment to simplicity and security aligns perfectly with our mission to provide cutting-edge omnichannel payment solutions to all European businesses.”

Stefano Schiavio, Partnerships & Corporate BD Director at Satispay, added, “Joining forces with Viva.com marks a significant milestone in our strategic approach to broadening our merchant network whilst ensuring that Satispay users continue to enjoy the effortless and secure payment experience they have come to expect, now across a growing number of physical and online shops.”
