Shopware, an open-source eCommerce provider, has forged a partnership with global payment orchestration platform BlueSnap to steer its North American expansion.

The alliance will see BlueSnap delivering transaction processing, payment methods, and integrations for merchants across US and Canada.

Shopware customers will have access to BlueSnap features such as credit card processing, payment links, Vaulted Shopper storage, and support for Google Pay and Apple Pay.

Shopware US general manager Jason Nyhus said: “Fast, secure, and easy-to-use payment options are highly anticipated in the North American market. Online shoppers are hungry for such methods to be the status quo, and a partnership with BlueSnap is yet another ingredient in our recipe for merchant success.”

Shopware provides customisable B2B and B2C eCommerce solutions with a headless, API-first architecture based on open-source technology.

BlueSnap CEO Henry Helgeson stated: “A reliable and easy payment experience is part and parcel of customer loyalty. With an expansive network of financial institutions and portfolio of innovative billing, invoicing, and payments tools, we are well-positioned to help Shopware achieve its North American expansion goals.”

BlueSnap is backed by private equity firms Great Hill Partners and Parthenon Capital Partners.

Through its orchestration platform, BlueSnap aims to increase sales and reduce payment processing costs for businesses.

Earlier this year, MarginEdge, a restaurant management solutions provider, chose BlueSnap as its North American client billing partner.
