Case Study: Peach Payments achieves 400% increase in monthly transactions and 30% faster merchant onboarding with ACI Worldwide's Secure eCommerce gateway

Facilitating Cross-Border Expansion with Open Payments Architecture

Peach Payments, a Cape Town–based payment service provider, faced the challenge of scaling rapidly across Africa without diverting resources to build a gateway from scratch. The company needed a white‑label payment gateway with rapid merchant onboarding, plugin support for platforms like Magento and WooCommerce, consolidated e‑ and mCommerce capabilities, and access to local acquirers and alternative payment methods — needs it addressed by integrating with ACI Worldwide’s ACI Secure eCommerce payments gateway.

ACI Worldwide’s open payments architecture and ACI Secure eCommerce solution gave Peach Payments a single RESTful API, mobile SDKs/COPYandPAY widget, easy plugin integration, and connectivity to a wide network of acquirers and alternative payment methods. As a result, Peach Payments sped merchant onboarding by 30%, grew monthly transaction volume by 400% in under a year without proportionate cost increases, and accelerated expansion into Namibia and Mauritius with plans for Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana — outcomes enabled by ACI Worldwide.
