Ecommpay collaborates with ekko to integrate eco-friendliness in payment solutions
In a groundbreaking move, payment solution provider Ecommpay has partnered with sustainability-focused tech business ekko to empower e-commerce merchants and their customers to make a tangible environmental impact with everyday purchases.
The partnership, set to launch in August 2025 for merchants using Ecommpay's Hosted Payment Page, aims to scale accessible, impactful climate action through e-commerce. By integrating ekko's features into their platform, Ecommpay is giving merchants the ability to offer a post-purchase sustainability feature to customers without adding complexity or friction.
The collaboration empowers customers to make environmentally friendly choices at checkout by enabling them to see and offset the carbon footprint of their purchase in real time through a simple micro-donation to verified climate projects. This offsetting option appears in a transparent pop-up immediately after payment, allowing customers to contribute to initiatives such as tree planting, marine conservation, and renewable energy without disrupting the checkout flow or adding friction to the user experience.
Key features of this collaboration include fully integrated carbon offsetting at checkout via Ecommpay’s payment platform, making every transaction potentially carbon neutral. Customers are given the option for effortless and optional micro-donations, ensuring they choose whether to support sustainability efforts post-purchase. The partnership supports globally verified environmental projects, ensuring donations go to credible initiatives like reforestation and wildlife protection.
For merchants, the integration is seamless, with no additional cost or complexity involved. The unique Payouts via Hosted Payment Page solution allows for efficient processing of payouts to payment cards, as well as for deposits made to Apple Pay and Google Pay.
The Ecommpay Hosted Payment Page dynamically modifies the selection of payment options based on transaction history, location, risk factors, and more, ensuring a seamless shopping experience. The addition of ekko to Ecommpay's Hosted Payment Page provides another function for building customer loyalty and satisfaction, delivering climate impact at the point of brand trust.
Oli Cook, the CEO and co-founder of ekko, stated that the partnership with Ecommpay brings sustainability to the checkout in a way that's intuitive, measurable, and scalable. Ecommpay's chief marketing officer, Miranda McLean, concluded that the integration with ekko empowers businesses to meet rising sustainability expectations in a way that's seamless and impactful, without compromising on speed, security, or user experience.
Research by Ecommpay shows that more than 70% of consumers are more likely to shop with a retailer demonstrating sustainability efforts, and 64% consider sustainability a top buying factor. The partnership aims to allow customers to turn everyday payments into environmental impact, helping merchants build trust, boost retention, and differentiate their brands while enabling customers to make a tangible environmental impact with everyday purchases.
