Case Study: Wirecard Technologies achieves rapid, scalable online retail launches with Microsoft Azure

Quick start in online retailing with a shop system on Microsoft Azure

Wirecard AG, a global provider of outsourcing and white‑label electronic payment solutions, set out to help small retailers launch professional webshops with secure, reliable payment options. The challenge was to deliver an easy-to-deploy, scalable and cost‑transparent shop system that required no programming knowledge.

Wirecard built a preconfigured Magento Linux image on Microsoft Azure and published it in the Azure Marketplace with integrated Wirecard payment methods. As a result, merchants can deploy a fully functional webshop in minutes, leverage Azure’s pay‑as‑you‑go pricing and scalability, and easily scale or expand internationally—providing a standardized starter tool that grows with the business.
