Worldpay · Provider partner
Worldpay offers standalone card terminals, online payment processing, payment links and virtual-terminal functionality, with separate products for different ways of accepting payments. Choosing the right option means understanding whether you need a physical terminal, online checkout, remote payments or a combination.
Overview
Worldpay runs distinct products for distinct channels: card machines for face-to-face payments, Worldpay eCommerce for websites, Payment Links+ and Virtual Terminal for remote payments, and Worldpay 360 for an integrated POS.
That separation matters. A terminal agreement doesn't automatically include online checkout, and an e-commerce account doesn't give you a card machine. You pick the pieces your business needs.
Among our partners, Worldpay has the deepest online toolkit — hosted checkout, platform integrations, recurring payments and fraud tools — alongside its in-person range.

Preferential pricing
We work with established payment providers to help businesses explore competitive, partner-negotiated rates that may not be available through standard public offers. We compare suitable options against your business needs, helping you understand the available terms before you decide whether to switch.
Eligibility depends on your business and the provider's terms. We can't guarantee a specific rate or that every quote will beat a direct offer.

Access to funds
Payments are authorised when the customer pays, then settled to your nominated bank account according to your agreement.
Settlement timing can differ between in-person and online products. We'll confirm the arrangements for each product you use.
Contracts
Beyond the payment

Fraud-screening and customer-authentication tools for online payments.

Worldpay eCommerce offers hosted checkout and platform integrations.
