Payment Challenges

• Expand to more payment methods
• Future proof the payment stack with a strategic partner
• Klarna, a strategically important payment method was unavailable on the current payment stack

With Germany being the primary market of Juniqe, Paypal and Klarna were strategically important payment methods. Juniqe’s primary payment processor mandated Juniqe to migrate the latest version of the API, on which Klarna was not available. Hence, Juniqe was looking forward to future proof the payment stack with a strategic partner.

Solution

Hyperswitch enabled Juniqe to instantly launch the new payments stack with Paypal and Klarna, improving the overall customer experience.

Also, Juniqe ships to 13 countries across Europe, and generates over 40 percent of revenue outside the company’s home country of Germany.

With such global expansion requirements, Juniqe needed to integrate multiple local payment methods such as Giropay, iDEAL, Sofort, Blik.

Impact

Paypal was a strategically important payment method for Juniqe. And by using Hyperswitch, Juniqe was able to directly connect with Paypal rather than offering Paypal through an alternative processor, which helps save on the payment processing costs.

Expand to more payment methods

Hyperswitch future proofed Juniqe payment stack with all the local payment methods such as Giropay, iDEAL, Sofort, Blik and many more from the list of 200+ available payment methods.
