Company mission

To make e-retailers, merchants of all sizes and fintechs realise their ambitions, offering the best in terms of simplicity and performance.

Our take

PayPlug is an omnichannel payment solution for SMEs, currently undergoing a merger with Dalenys, a fellow Group BPCE subsidiary and e-commerce platform. This strategic alliance aims to position the two companies as the top French fintech player in the European payments landscape.

Operating under the PayPlug banner, the combined entity is set to become France's largest provider of payment solutions for digitalised commerce. The new PayPlug's strategy revolves around two key pillars essential for traditional and online merchants alike. First, it will emphasise online card payments, with a strong focus on optimising conversion rates through Dalenys's data expertise. Second, it will enhance omnichannel payments, simplifying user experiences and expanding offerings to include in-store payments.

As consumers increasingly expect frictionless and mobile payments solutions, the merger between PayPlug and Dalenys is strategically timed. It places the company in a prime position to continue its growth and make a lasting impression in the fintech industry, and will give it an extra boost in its competition against industry stalwarts such as PayPal and Stripe.
