Our Story

PayFlow was founded in 2010 with a simple idea: it should be easy for anyone to accept payments online. At the time, setting up payment processing was complicated, expensive, and required weeks of integration work.

We started with seven lines of code that could accept a credit card payment. Today, we offer a complete suite of products that power payments, subscriptions, marketplaces, and more for millions of businesses around the world.

Our team has grown from 4 founders to over 8,000 employees across 25 global offices. We remain committed to the same mission: building the economic infrastructure that enables businesses to thrive online.
