Austrian acquirer adds PayPal Complete Payments Platform in bid to attract global merchants amid strategic expansion
Payment provider DIMOCO has announced it has integrated PayPal‘s Complete Payments Platform into its services, marking another step in the company’s transition from carrier billing specialist to full-service payment processor.
The integration grants DIMOCO clients access to PayPal’s network of over 430 million active accounts across nearly 200 markets, with the service appearing as a native checkout option alongside existing payment methods.
Industry analysts note this partnership comes amid DIMOCO’s ongoing business transformation. The company, which built its reputation in telecom carrier billing, has spent recent years repositioning within the competitive European payments landscape.
“Our relationship with PayPal provides our new and existing clients access to one of the most popular payment methods in the world,” said Duygu Inanc Koyunpinar, Head of Product at DIMOCO. She added that the move strengthens DIMOCO’s position as a provider of “secure and frictionless access to the digital economy.”
The addition of PayPal aligns with several organisational changes at DIMOCO.
In 2023, the company consolidated its previously separate carrier billing and payment services divisions under the DIMOCO Payments brand. Last year, it recruited former Klarna and PAYONE executive Christian Renk as COO, signaling ambitions to scale its merchant services business.
PayPal claims its platform increases checkout conversion rates and drives customer retention, reporting that businesses using its service see 45% more repeat buyers on average – metrics particularly relevant to the small and mid-sized merchants DIMOCO targets.
This latest partnership positions DIMOCO more directly against established payment service providers in a sector increasingly dominated by companies offering comprehensive payment solutions across multiple channels and markets.
Growing market consolidation
Traditional acquirers are under pressure to go beyond card processing and become full-service platforms offering everything from fraud protection to checkout optimisation and local payment method access.
DIMOCO’s move mirrors what we’ve seen from players like Adyen and Checkout.com—acquirers evolving into full-stack providers in order to stay competitive in a commoditized acquiring space.
There’s a growing demand from merchants for payment providers to offer seamless access to globally trusted wallets like PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Merchants increasingly expect these options to be “plug and play.”
By integrating PayPal, DIMOCO is aligning with a broader industry shift where payment providers consolidate access to trusted consumer payment methods under one roof. This simplifies onboarding and reduces integration friction.
