Case Study: Tradera achieves streamlined operations and global payouts with PayPal

Tradera - Customer Case Study

Tradera, a PayPal company and one of Sweden’s leading e-commerce marketplaces founded in 1999, serves millions of users with auctions and fixed-price listings across categories like fashion, tech and collectibles. With buyers across Scandinavia and the EEA, Tradera faced complex regulatory requirements (PSD2 and the EU’s Anti‑Money Laundering directive) and needed a compliant, scalable way to onboard sellers and manage cross‑border payouts.

Tradera implemented a customized PayPal stack combining Hyperwallet (Know Your Payee verification and Direct remittance) with Braintree’s single API to accept PayPal, bank transfers, cards and local payment methods and connect multiple acquirers/PSPs. The solution streamlined onboarding and payouts, enabled global, flexible disbursements and helped Tradera scale — averaging 42K payout transactions and $2M in payouts monthly, plus 533K new accounts added (Jan–Sept 2020).
