Pine Labs taps Stripe to unify Singapore merchant payments

Pine Labs is integrating Stripe to unify payments for merchants in Singapore, its first market, with other Southeast Asian countries planned for 2027.

Pine Labs is working with Stripe to bring merchant payments in Singapore onto a single, unified setup. Singapore is the first market for the Stripe integration, and the companies plan to expand it to other Southeast Asian markets in 2027.

What the move means

The integration is aimed at merchants who currently handle different payment channels separately. Unifying them under one arrangement is intended to simplify how businesses in Singapore accept and manage payments. Further details on pricing, product features and the rollout timeline within Singapore were not available at the time of writing.

Why it matters

For Pine Labs, the Indian merchant commerce platform, the tie-up with a global payments provider strengthens its position in Southeast Asia, where it has been building its presence. For merchants, a consolidated payments stack can reduce the operational overhead of running separate systems for in-store and online sales.

Singapore is a logical starting point given its mature digital payments market and its role as a regional base for many companies. Starting there lets both firms test the integration before extending it to neighbouring countries.

What comes next

The expansion to other Southeast Asian markets is slated for 2027. The companies have not named those markets in the information available so far.
