Network International Partners with WooCommerce to Strengthen E-Commerce Payments
Network International (Network), the leading fintech company across the Middle East and Africa (MEA), has entered into a strategic partnership with WooCommerce, one of the world’s most widely used open-source e-commerce platforms. Through this collaboration, merchants in the MEA region will be able to integrate Network’s payment features directly into their WooCommerce stores. This partnership will enable merchants to access seamless, secure, and locally relevant payment solutions.
Network International’s Plugin Is Now Available on WooCommerce
The partnership between Network International and WooCommerce introduces several major enhancements designed especially to support merchants and accelerate digital adoption across the region. Network’s powerful payment plugin, “N-Genius Online by Network for WooCommerce,” is now available for installation directly through the WooCommerce Marketplace. The plugin will be prominently featured within WooCommerce’s payment settings interface, providing high visibility to merchants looking for a payment provider or seeking to optimise their existing infrastructure.
Merchants can activate Network International’s payment solution within seconds. This allows them to go live instantly and begin accepting payments faster. The integration also supports local payment methods. By adhering to specific compliance frameworks, it meets settlement preferences suitable for MEA merchants. In this way, it delivers a seamless, secure, and fully compliant payment experience tailored to regional needs.
“The Collaboration Will Deliver an Unparalleled Payment Experience to Consumers Across the Region”
Martin Pitcock, SVP of E-Commerce and Digital Experience at Network International, said: “By integrating our advanced payment solutions seamlessly into one of the world’s most popular e-commerce platforms, we are making it easier for MEA merchants to access secure, localised, and efficient payment processing services. This collaboration will increase the adoption of digital commerce across the region, drive economic growth, and advance financial inclusion for many predominantly cash-based businesses, while also delivering an unparalleled payment experience to consumers across the region.”
“This Integration Addresses Critical Market Needs”
Kevin Wild, Director of Payment Partnerships at WooCommerce, said: “This integration addresses critical market needs; it simplifies the payment activation process and ensures that WooCommerce store owners can effectively serve their customers with trusted and compliant payment options. It also underscores our commitment to providing a robust and relevant platform for businesses worldwide.”
