Composable commerce platform commercetools is collaborating with payment provider PayPal Braintree. With this partnership, commercetools customers will be able to work with multiple payment providers, acquirers, and banks to optimize their customers’ experiences. The new integration is built for both commercetools backend and frontend environments and other JavaScript frontends.

“To provide our global customers with a solution that enhances their payment options, we wanted to implement a fintech solution for cross-border transactions to hundreds of global markets,” said Vice President of Global Partnerships at commercetools, Blaine Trainor. 

“PayPal’s association with MACH technology, cemented by their recent distinction as the MACH Alliance’s first supporting member, makes them the ideal partner for this transformative endeavor,” he added.
