The Industry Challenge
For ambitious brands in retail, leisure, and entertainment, international expansion introduces significant payment complexity. Each new market brings a fragmented landscape of local payment methods, currencies, and regulatory requirements. Relying on a single, monolithic payment gateway creates friction, leading to abandoned transactions and lost revenue. This lack of flexibility is a major commercial risk, acting as a direct obstacle to growth and preventing brands from offering a truly localised and seamless customer experience.
Our Solution: High-performance payment ecosystems for global expansion.
Can Factory architects and delivers bespoke, high-performance payment ecosystems that eliminate this risk. For instance, to power the international expansion of Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) Cinemas, we engineered an adaptable integration module from the ground up. Our methodology enabled the seamless integration of multiple regional payment processors, such as Checkout, Cybersource, KNet, and Mada, within a single, resilient platform. Further flexibility was required to support a multitude of unique MAF internal and 3rd party promotional partnerships in parallel. We architected a custom integration around the Vista Group back-office platform that handled complex eligibility rules in real-time, allowing fulfilment across multiple payment providers in a single purchase. This ensures every transaction, across every region, is flawless.
Business Impact
Our solutions transform a complex operational challenge into a competitive advantage.
