Our take
Nowadays, payments are extremely complex, with a huge array of services being offered to conduct purchases. Meanwhile, merchants are continuously trying to optimise their payments for cost, fraud reduction, and improved user experiences. Primer supplies a no-code automation platform that provides a scalable and optimisable infrastructure for merchants to create and consolidate their payment stacks.
By incorporating a unified API, Primer provides access to any 3rd party services that users wish to integrate, ranging from digital wallets and mobile payments, to Buy Now Pay Later and crypto. It currently operates across around 20 countries, with mostly midmarket customers such as Voi, Freddie’s Flowers and Parkopedia.
Its platform has significant implications for the future of eCommerce and payments, which is a huge global industry, and Primer has laid out a reinvigorated growth strategy across EU, US and APAC markets to capitalise on this in 2025. The company has made a number of impressive partnerships with the likes of Coinbase, Zimpler, and Monoova, to deliver enhanced utility to its clients.
