Juspay Joins Mastercard Engage Network to Accelerate Global Adoption of Click To Pay

WHY THIS MATTERS

The announcement on June 1, 2026, that Juspay has joined the Mastercard Engage partner network as a certified third-party provider for Mastercard Click to Pay attacks the single highest friction point in online retail: the manual checkout funnel. Despite trillions of dollars moving through global e-commerce, web-based card checkouts have remained structurally archaic. Consumers are routinely forced to manually type out 16-digit plastic card numbers, expiration dates, and CVVs—or navigate clunky, fragmented multi-step One-Time Password (OTP) SMS redirects that frequently fail.

This administrative friction triggers a catastrophic industry benchmark: an average 70% cart abandonment rate, costing global digital merchants billions in lost revenue. Built on universal EMVCo standards, Click to Pay acts as an open, network-agnostic digital vault. By recognizing a shopper’s profile automatically via their email or phone number, it completely eliminates manual data entry. For Juspay—which processes a staggering 300 million daily transactions for hyper-scale enterprises like Amazon, Google, and HSBC—this global alliance provides the technical leverage to fundamentally upgrade checkout conversion rates across the United States, Europe, APAC, Latin America, and the Middle East.

Juspay, a leading global payments technology company, today announced that it has joined the Mastercard Engage partner network as a certified third-party partner for Mastercard Click to Pay. The Mastercard Engage platform is a global partner ecosystem that connects Mastercard with qualified technology partners to help financial institutions and merchants accelerate the deployment of innovative payment solutions. The listing on the Engage portal marks a significant step in Juspay’s mission to enable faster, safer, and more seamless digital payment experiences for merchants and consumers worldwide.

Building on its successful rollout in Brazil, Juspay is now enabling Click to Pay globally, helping merchants deliver a consistent, secure, and frictionless checkout experience. Click to Pay simplifies online card payments by eliminating the need for manually entering card details, thereby improving conversion rates and reducing checkout friction.

Through this integration, Juspay brings together advanced capabilities including:

● Biometric authentication with passkeys, enabling secure, passwordless transactions
● Card tokenisation, enhancing security and reducing fraud risk
● Streamlined checkout, minimizing friction and cart abandonment

“Joining the Mastercard Engage partner network is an important milestone as we scale Click to Pay globally,” said Mark Ronayne, Associate Director – International, Juspay. “At Juspay, we’re focused on removing friction from the checkout experience while maintaining the highest standards of security. With Click to Pay, we’re enabling merchants to offer a consistent, one-click checkout, helping improve conversion while delivering a seamless payment experience for consumers.”

With its inclusion in the Mastercard Engage platform, Juspay will also collaborate with Mastercard to support merchants in accelerating their adoption of Click to Pay. The partnership is expected to further strengthen Juspay’s position as a trusted payments partner for leading enterprises and financial institutions worldwide.

With a vision to make payments more accessible, intuitive, and frictionless, Juspay continues to invest in innovations that simplify the checkout experience while maintaining the highest standards of security and reliability. Processing over 300 million transactions daily across regions including Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, the UK, and North America, Juspay supports leading global enterprises and banks such as Amazon, Google, HSBC, Swiggy, and more.

Juspay’s global rollout of Click to Pay is a massive win for its open-source payment orchestration operating system, Hyperswitch. While early iterations of Click to Pay struggled with low merchant adoption due to complex single-network technical requirements, Juspay has successfully productized a unified, cross-network SDK. Through a single API integration, a merchant can deploy a blended checkout interface that supports Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover cards simultaneously—with built-in smart routing that switches card rails if an individual network suffers an administrative blackout.

The true competitive edge of Juspay’s implementation lies in its pairing of Click to Pay with on-device biometric passkeys. In August 2024, Mastercard launched its worldwide Payment Passkey Service pilot in India, selecting Juspay as a core rollout partner to replace insecure SMS codes with fingerprint and facial recognition. By scaling this mechanism globally in 2026, Juspay allows retail brands to bind network tokenization directly to a user’s device biometrics (such as Apple Face ID or Android Biometrics).

The transaction flow never transmits a raw, vulnerable card number over the web; instead, it passes an encrypted cryptographic token. This dual-layer architecture shifts payment liability back to the issuing bank, reduces false-positive fraud declines, and delivers a true one-click checkout. Backed by its strong validation in the Mastercard Engage ecosystem, Juspay is proving to the enterprise market that the future of digital commerce belongs to frictionless, passwordless identity verification.
