PayDo Launches Acquiring with Apple Pay and Google Pay
PayDo is excited to share its new principal acquirer status with both Google Pay and Apple Pay digital wallets.
While the ability to take customer payments via Google Pay or Apple Pay (alongside 350+ other alternative payment methods) has long been a fundamental part of PayDo Checkout solution, the new role of the principal acquirer will level up that experience for clients even further.
Principal acquiring for Google Pay and Apple Pay means:
- More freedom and autonomy – PayDo offers you a direct connection to Apple Pay and Google Pay, so you no longer need to rely on a third-party acquirer, and are therefore less dependent on changes and limitations they may impose.
- Better user experience for customers, dictated by faster transactions and better conversions because of direct authorization.
This update moves PayDo forward on its perpetual journey to create a truly all-in-one unified financial ecosystem, where businesses can use just one provider to cover most of their fintech needs. This approach directly tackles the problem of fragmented payment infrastructures. Described as a “systemic tax on innovation” by Serhii Zakharov, CEO & founder at PayDo, payment system fragmentation refers to the host of inefficiencies that occur when the payment stack consists of too many solutions that are hard to interconnect, manage, and monitor.
PayDo has previously introduced direct acquiring for VISA and Mastercard at the end of 2025. Merchants received an opportunity to process VISA and Mastercard transactions through PayDo’s system without external intermediaries, since PayDo took on the role of the acquirer, maximizing independence and speed. Combined with the most recent launch of acquiring for Apple Pay and Google Pay, these developments boost the experience of using the most popular payment methods for merchants with PayDo accounts as well as their customers.
