Global Payments + Shuttle

Global Payments is one of the world’s largest payment technology companies, providing acquiring services in more than 40 markets and processing over 50 billion transactions annually. Following its merger with TSYS and acquisition of Heartland Payment Systems, Global Payments offers a uniquely broad platform that spans merchant acquiring, issuer processing, and vertical-specific commerce solutions for healthcare, education, restaurants, and retail. Its scale gives it competitive interchange pricing, deep banking relationships, and the infrastructure to support businesses ranging from single-location merchants to multinational enterprises. Global Payments’ combination of acquiring reach and vertical expertise makes it one of the most comprehensive payment partners available.

Shuttle integrates with Global Payments to give platforms access to one of the largest acquiring networks in the world through a single, standardized connection. Transactions routed to Global Payments through Shuttle benefit from its domestic acquiring capabilities in dozens of markets, which typically delivers higher authorization rates and lower costs than cross-border processing. Shuttle’s Voice Checkout flows can settle through Global Payments’ infrastructure, leveraging its fraud screening and tokenization services, while Payment Links and embedded payment forms tap into Global Payments’ optimized card processing and local payment method support. The integration is particularly seamless because Global Payments’ broad API capabilities align well with Shuttle’s orchestration model.

For platforms that need to process payments at scale across multiple geographies, accessing Global Payments through Shuttle provides a foundation of reliable, high-volume processing that can be augmented with specialist processors for specific use cases. A platform might route the majority of its card transactions through Global Payments for its competitive pricing and broad coverage, while using a regional specialist for specific markets or a niche processor for particular payment methods. Shuttle makes this multi-layered processing strategy operational without requiring the platform to build separate integrations, manage multiple settlement relationships, or reconcile data across disparate systems. The result is enterprise-scale payment processing with the agility of a modern orchestration layer.
