About Airwallex Payments

Airwallex Payments is a global acceptance solution designed to help businesses collect funds from shoppers anywhere in the world.

Beyond traditional gateways that focus only on card processing, Airwallex payment gateway connects payment acceptance directly to our global financial infrastructure. This allows you to settle, convert, and manage funds in one unified financial platform. Whether you are a SaaS platform, an eCommerce marketplace, or a digital business, Airwallex provides the tools to build a custom checkout experience that maximizes conversion and minimizes operational friction.

Key capabilities

• Global reach with local payment experience: Offer customers their preferred way to pay using like-for-like settlement. For example, charge a customer in USD and settle directly into a USD balance, avoiding unnecessary FX fees.
• Built-in risk management: Our fraud engine evaluates every transaction in real-time. You can customize risk rules and manage disputes directly from the Airwallex web app or API.
• Connected finance: Because your payment acceptance is linked to your Airwallex Wallet, you can instantly use settled funds to issue cards, pay out funds to suppliers in 150+ countries, or exchange money.

Payments lifecycle

Airwallex Payments connects every step of your revenue flow—from accepting payments at checkout to settling funds into your balances and managing refunds, disputes, and reporting.

• Collects payments via cards (Visa, Mastercard) and 160+ local payment methods (Alipay, iDEAL, GrabPay).
• Dynamically routes transactions to the most suitable provider to ensure high authorization rates while protecting against fraud.
• Settles funds directly into your multi-currency Airwallex Wallet without forced conversions.
• Manages the full post-payment lifecycle. You can issue partial or full refunds, respond to disputes (chargebacks) programmatically, and reconcile every financial transaction using detailed settlement reporting.
