Travelsoft Pay partners with Checkout.com to strengthen global travel payment orchestration

Travelsoft Pay (“TSPay”), the payment orchestration and issuing division of Travelsoft Group, today announced a strategic partnership with Checkout.com, a leading global digital payments provider, to enhance payment performance and simplify global payment connectivity for travel businesses across its ecosystem.

As the payment division of Travelsoft, one of the world’s leading travel technology groups, TSPay is focused on simplifying and modernising payments for travel businesses through payment orchestration, issuing and connectivity solutions designed specifically for the travel industry.

As travel companies continue to expand internationally and manage increasingly complex payment flows across multiple markets, currencies and payment methods, the need for specialised orchestration infrastructure has become critical.

This partnership addresses that challenge by combining global acquiring capabilities with travel-native payment orchestration designed specifically for the operational realities of the travel industry.

Through this partnership, Travelsoft Group platforms and their travel clients worldwide can benefit from a unified, travel-focused payment infrastructure designed to optimise global payment acceptance, improve conversion rates, simplify PSP connectivity, and support the complex operational workflows specific to the travel ecosystem.

TSPay acts as a central orchestration and connectivity layer across the Travelsoft ecosystem, enabling travel companies to access global acquiring capabilities, smart routing, payment optimisation workflows, alternative payment methods, and travel-specific payment experiences through a single integration framework.

The partnership combines Checkout.com’s global acquiring and payment performance capabilities with TSPay’s travel-native orchestration approach, purpose-built around the operational realities of OTAs, tour operators, bedbanks, consolidators, travel management companies, and travel marketplaces.

Key capabilities include:

Global payment acceptance across multiple geographies and currencies
Intelligent payment routing and failover logic
Travel-specific orchestration workflows and operational controls
Support for card payments and alternative payment methods
Improved authorisation performance and conversion optimisation
Scalable infrastructure designed for high-volume travel merchants
Centralised orchestration across multiple PSPs and payment providers
Simplified integration for Travelsoft platforms and connected clients
Mary Cotugno, Managing Director of TSPay, 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.”

Matthieu Barral, Global Head of Partnerships, Checkout.com added: “Travel merchants require resilient, scalable and high-performing payment infrastructure capable of supporting international growth and complex customer journeys. We are pleased to partner with TSPay and support Travelsoft’s vision of delivering modern payment orchestration capabilities to the travel sector.”

The partnership marks another step in TSPay’s strategy to build a unified, PSP-agnostic payment infrastructure across the Travelsoft ecosystem, enabling travel businesses to access best-in-class payment capabilities through a single orchestration layer.
