Pakistani Online Businesses Get Huge Boost from Payoneer–Stripe Deal

KARACHI – Pakistan’s digital economy has received a major breakthrough as Payoneer and Stripe announced a powerful partnership that will finally open seamless global payment solutions for local merchants.

For years, Pakistani businesses selling abroad faced high costs, limited payment gateways, and complex setups. This new deal changes the game.

The upgraded Payoneer Online Checkout, now powered by Stripe’s advanced technology, will roll out in Pakistan, Vietnam, South Korea, China, and Hong Kong. This means merchants can now easily accept payments from Apple Pay, Google Pay, Affirm, Klarna, and many other global methods.

Industry experts are calling it a massive breakthrough for Pakistan’s cross-border e-commerce. Previously, businesses had to register companies overseas, an expensive and time-consuming process. The Payoneer–Stripe partnership removes these hurdles.

The growth is already visible: Payoneer Checkout transactions jumped to nearly $1 billion annually, with revenues crossing $30 million last year, doubling year over year.

Payoneer’s APAC SVP highlighted: “Together with Stripe, we are unleashing a world-class checkout experience that empowers SMBs to go global without friction. This is about speed, scale, and success.”

This collaboration signals a new era for Pakistani e-commerce entrepreneurs, enabling them to compete globally with fast, secure, and affordable payments.
