The collaboration taps e& enterprise’s unified integration APIs, which simplify the addition of multiple payment methods through a single interface.
This allows businesses to integrate the PayPal wallet as a payment method without the need for “complex IT development work”.
Merchants can connect to the e& enterprise payments gateway (EPG) platform to accept PayPal payments and expand cross-border commerce, particularly for UAE merchants targeting international customers.
The initiative provides transparent payment options, enabling customers to track transactions and support carbon offsets.
With PayPal’s network, e& enterprise expects increased exports and higher authorisation rates for cross-border payments.
e& enterprise chief operating officer Miguel Angel Villalonga said: “Digital payments are not only transforming the way businesses operate but are also redefining customer expectations for speed, security, and convenience. Our collaboration with PayPal is set to provide companies with access to versatile, efficient, and globally recognised payment solutions that are essential, empowering them to compete in the global digital economy and keep pace with these growing demands without the brunt of investing in expensive infrastructure.”
PayPal Middle East, Africa general manager and regional head Otto Williams said: “We’re excited to bring PayPal to e& enterprises’s flagship Payments Gateway, which powers some of the region’s largest enterprises and government services. With over 400 million active PayPal accounts over the world, being able to offer a widely recognised and trusted payment option will help businesses meet consumers’ expectations of being able to pay with their preferred method.”
This follows PayPal’s recent addition as a payment option for US-based cruise bookings with Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises, and Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
