With PayPal World, consumers can enjoy benefits like access to shop at millions of more businesses, online, in-store, and with AI agents, pay international businesses using their domestic payment system or wallet of choice and local currency, and seamless money transfers to users across borders.

“PayPal World is a first-of-its-kind payments ecosystem that will bring together many of the world’s largest payment systems and digital wallets on a single platform. It is a testament to the passion our partners share for an inclusive, global digital economy and has the potential to revolutionize cross-border commerce,” said Alex Chriss, President and CEO of PayPal. “The challenge of moving money across borders is incredibly complex, and yet this platform will make it so simple for nearly two billion consumers and businesses. We believe the changes we are announcing today have the potential to be a real game-changer over time. We can’t wait to welcome many more global partners, wallets, and their users soon.”

PayPal World will connect millions of businesses to a digital payment system and wallet users worldwide, starting with PayPal and Venmo. Benefits will include-

• Expanded reach into new markets and nearly two billion users,
• Increased payment options and sales – online, in-store, and with AI agents,
• Businesses automatically accept new digital payment options at checkout when more partners join the platform, with no additional development work required.

Leveraging open commerce APIs, PayPal World solves the complexity of cross-border commerce with a cloud native, multi-region deployment architecture that ensures low latency and high availability worldwide. It is also revealed that the platform will be compatible with the latest technologies and commerce experiences, including, over time, dynamic payment buttons and stablecoin.

With PayPal World, PayPal and Venmo will become seamlessly interoperable for the first time. This will allow PayPal and Venmo users to send money to each other, anywhere in the world.

PayPal World is expected to go live beginning this fall, starting with partner wallets connecting to PayPal and Venmo
