When marketplaces
scale, payments need
to keep pace

Marketplaces move fast, but payments can stay complex. Visa Commercial Solutions help add control and visibility, linking digital operations with physical purchases. See how Visa and Everli put it into practice.

The marketplace may be digital. The payment journey often isn’t.

A customer can place an order in seconds. Behind the scenes, a marketplace may still need to manage purchases made by shoppers, riders, agents, suppliers or other third parties.

That raises some very practical questions.

How do you fund those purchases? How do you keep control of spend? How do you reduce manual processes and simplify reconciliation? And how do you make the model work as the network grows?

Visa Commercial Cards can help marketplaces work smarter

Less admin

Reduce reliance on reimbursements, manual processes and disconnected payment journeys by giving authorised third parties a controlled way to make business purchases.

More control

Bring greater structure, visibility and governance to operational spend across distributed networks.

Built to scale

Support growing payment volumes, expanding networks and increasingly complex operations without adding unnecessary friction.

Inside Everli’s online-to-in-store payment journey

1. The customer orders online

A consumer places their grocery order through Everli.

Everli assigns the order to a shopper who visits the selected supermarket.

2. The shopper pays in-store

The shopper uses an Everli business Visa Commercial Card to purchase the products requested by the customer.

The physical payment connects back to a journey that began digitally.

3. The payment becomes part of the wider flow

The purchase is integrated into Everli’s operational and financial process.

The shopper then completes delivery to the end customer.

The opportunity goes beyond grocery

Everli is one example of a wider marketplace payment need. Wherever platforms rely on distributed networks to make purchases or payments on behalf of the business, Commercial Cards can help bring greater control, efficiency and scalability.
