Travelsoft Pay partners with Checkout.com for payment orchestration

Partnership targets higher acceptance and simpler global payments

Travelsoft Pay has announced a strategic agreement with Checkout.com to strengthen payment orchestration across the Travelsoft ecosystem. With this integration, the group aims to optimise international acceptance, improve conversion rates, simplify connections to payment service providers and support the complex transaction journeys that are specific to travel. The partnership covers Travelsoft’s platforms and their clients worldwide, with a unified payment infrastructure that, the group says, is designed for the sector’s particular needs.

The agreement combines Checkout.com’s acquiring reach and performance with TSPay’s travel-native orchestration approach. In practical terms, TSPay acts as a central orchestration and connectivity layer across the Travelsoft ecosystem via a single integration. Merchants can enable smart routing and failover, access alternative payment methods, virtual card issuing, and workflows adapted to OTA, tour operator, bedbank, consolidator, TMC and travel marketplace use cases.

Mary Cotugno, Managing Director of Travelsoft Pay, said: "Travel companies operate in one of the most complex payment environments globally. Managing multiple payment providers, cross-border transactions, alternative payment methods, deposits, instalment payments and long booking cycles requires far more than a traditional payment setup. At TSPay, our mission is to simplify that complexity by providing the travel industry with a unified, travel-focused payment infrastructure. Through a single orchestration layer, travel businesses can access the payment capabilities they need while retaining the flexibility to choose the partners that best support their growth. Our partnership with Checkout.com represents an important step in that journey, strengthening the ecosystem we are building for Travelsoft platforms and their clients worldwide."

Travelsoft describes itself as operating at global scale, saying it processes more than €50 billion in bookings each year across over 90 countries, and brings together upwards of 700 specialists. For its part, Checkout.com says its network covers more than 145 currencies, processes billions of transactions annually and handled $300 billion in ecommerce payment volume in 2025.
