Solidgate, a payment orchestration platform for mid-market digital businesses, today announced a strategic agreement with Discover® Network and Diners Club International®. This collaboration enables both card networks and 30+ global network alliances (1) into Solidgate’s end-to-end payment stack, driving broader acceptance and optimized transaction performance for merchants worldwide.
Integrating these networks into Solidgate's infrastructure connects merchants to more than 439 million cards globally (2). This collaboration allows businesses to capture high-value international cardholders, allowing more customers to use their preferred method of payment.
