Planet, a global leader in integrated payment and software solutions, has been awarded “Best Cross-Border Payments Solution for Merchants & E-commerce” at the 2025 PayTech Awards, hosted by FinTech Futures.
This prestigious recognition highlights the success of Planet’s Multi-Currency Pricing (MCP) solution, which helps merchants simplify international payments by offering localised pricing in over 137 currencies across 152 countries. MCP reduces checkout friction by allowing international customers to pay in their own currency, improves transparency, and enables businesses to expand into new markets with greater confidence.
Unlike traditional cross-border models that introduce foreign exchange fees at the final stage of checkout, MCP ensures customers see and pay consistent pricing from browsing to payment. At the same time, merchants can settle in their own base currency without needing to manage multiple accounts or absorb FX risks.
“This award recognises the tangible difference MCP is making for merchants with international ambitions,” said Colin Close, Chief Commercial Officer at Planet. “We aim to simplify cross-border pricing for businesses and their customers, reducing confusion, cutting costs, and improving the overall experience.” One leading hospitality retreat in the Nordics, for example, saw a sixfold increase in international revenue after switching to MCP, proof that we’re not just building technology, we’re helping our clients grow in a sustainable and measurable way.”
Across sectors, merchants are seeing measurable improvements in international revenue, conversion rates, and customer satisfaction, driven by clearer, more consistent pricing. Planet’s Multi-Currency Pricing (MCP) removes FX-related friction at every stage of the customer journey, helping businesses grow across borders without added operational or currency risk.
Available through the Datatrans gateway, MCP delivers real-time FX automation, guaranteed-rate refunds, and localised pricing, all with minimal infrastructure disruption.
As global commerce accelerates, Planet is proud to power the next generation of international growth. With MCP, merchants don’t just cross borders, they break down barriers, delivering transparent shopping experiences that build trust, increase customer loyalty, and make global expansion more accessible and rewarding than ever.
