SeerBit Integrates PayPal To Expand Global Payment Options For African Merchants
SeerBit, a leading pan-African payments company, today announced its integration with PayPal, enabling merchants across its supported markets to accept payments directly from PayPal users at checkout.
Through this integration, customers shopping on SeerBit-powered platforms can now choose PayPal alongside cards, bank transfers, and mobile money, while allowing merchants to manage all transactions in one place. The feature enhances buyer confidence, reduces cart abandonment, and improves conversion rates; all key factors in global e-commerce success.
This integration comes at a crucial time when cross-border digital trade across Africa is accelerating, fuelled by rising internet adoption, a surge in e-commerce activity and growing demand for frictionless online payments. Merchants can now receive international payments in real time, expand their customer base globally, and compete more confidently in the digital economy, limited payment options, and fragmented checkout experiences.
Beyond merchant impact, this milestone strengthens Africa’s position in the global digital trade landscape. As regional markets prepare for deeper integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), accessible and interoperable payment infrastructure will be central to enabling African businesses to scale and participate competitively on the world stage.
“African businesses have the talent and products to compete globally; the missing link has often been access to trusted, convenient payment options,” said Omoniyi Kolade, CEO of SeerBit. “By integrating PayPal, we’re bridging that gap for merchants, helping them build credibility with global customers and making it easier for the world to do business with Africa.”
“Africa is a fast-growing region for digital commerce, driven by increasing connectivity and a new generation of digitally native businesses. Our integration with SeerBit is important in helping merchants reach more international customers, build trust and support growth beyond their local markets,” said Amir Valliani, Vice President, Global Markets, PayPal.
With this milestone, SeerBit reinforces its position at the forefront of Africa’s digital economy, driving inclusion, building trust, and shaping how Africa engages with the world through commerce.
