Pinterest, a visual discovery platform with 570m global users, has partnered with Checkout.com, a leading global digital payments company.
The collaboration aims to enhance Pinterest’s payment infrastructure for advertisers, ensuring more seamless and reliable transactions across international markets.
The partnership comes as Pinterest scales its commercial operations and seeks to deliver an optimised payments experience to its advertising clients.
With global reach and user engagement at the core of Pinterest’s platform, reliable digital payment services are seen as essential to supporting its broader mission to inspire users and enable creativity.
Checkout.com provides a global digital payments platform that supports fast, secure, and efficient transactions. Its technology is powered by artificial intelligence, machine learning, and real-time network data to optimise transaction routing. This leads to higher acceptance rates and fewer payment failures, helping merchants scale confidently in a competitive market.
Pinterest, widely known for its role in discovery and personal inspiration, is increasing its focus on monetisation through advertising. The company is investing in infrastructure that can support advertisers on a global scale, requiring payment solutions that are as agile and scalable as its user base.
The partnership will allow Pinterest to leverage Checkout.com’s infrastructure to ensure consistent performance and reliability for advertisers worldwide. This, in turn, enables Pinterest to strengthen trust and efficiency within its commercial ecosystem.
Andrea Acosta, chief accounting officer at Pinterest said, “As Pinterest continues to scale its business, it’s crucial that we offer a global payments experience for our advertising clients that is seamless and reliable. Checkout.com gives us the infrastructure to grow with confidence, supporting our mission of helping our half a billion users create a life they love.”
Antoine Nougué, chief revenue officer at Checkout.com said, “At Checkout.com, we’re digital by design, with a platform built to help innovative businesses like Pinterest succeed in the digital economy, using payments as an enabler for trust. Working with a visionary platform like Pinterest allows us to demonstrate the scalability and intelligence of our platform, ensuring consistent performance, globally.”
