Strapi

The leading global IP proxy service provider ipocto and the emerging payment platform Strapi today announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration aims to integrate the strengths of both parties in network infrastructure and payment settlement, providing overseas enterprises, e-commerce platforms, and digital service providers with a more secure, stable, and efficient global business operation solution.

1. What is Strapi?

Strapi is a global payment platform with a core function of aggregation.

It integrates various payment methods from around the world (such as e-wallets, online banking, local credit cards, etc.) to provide businesses with a unified payment interface.

In simple terms: Businesses only need to integrate with Strapi once to enable global customers to complete payments using their preferred payment methods.

2. Advantages of Strapi

• Wide Coverage: Supports hundreds of mainstream payment methods across numerous countries and regions globally.
• High Success Rate: Utilizes smart technology to optimize payment processes, helping merchants recover orders lost due to payment failures.
• Security and Reliability: Holds international security certifications and payment licenses, with a robust risk control system to ensure fund security.
• Easy Integration: Provides clear API documentation and a unified management backend, enabling businesses to launch quickly and operate efficiently.

3. Collaboration Background: Core Challenges in Cross-Border Business

When expanding into global markets, businesses face two major bottlenecks in network and payment:

1. Complex Network Environment: Cross-border payments rely on stable local networks. Poor-quality proxies or network fluctuations can easily lead to API request failures, trigger risk controls, and directly result in lost transactions.
2. High Barriers to Payment Localization: Payment habits vary greatly across regions. Building payment channels in-house involves technical, compliance, and cost pressures.
3. Strong Security and Risk Control Demands: The payment process must combat attacks from black markets while complying with local regulations.

Solution: Closed-Loop Integration of Network and Payment

• ipocto: Provides global static residential IP proxies to ensure payment requests originate from authentic local environments, reducing payment failures caused by IP issues and solidifying the network foundation.
• Strapi: Aggregates global payment methods and simplifies access through a unified interface, helping businesses quickly support multi-regional payment needs.

Integration Value

• Development and Testing: Seamlessly integrate with Strapi's interface via local IPs, ensuring global compatibility of the system.
• Increase Success Rate: Simulate user behavior with real IPs to avoid risk control interceptions and optimize transaction conversion.
• Secure Operations: Manage payment backends using local IPs to ensure operational compliance and account security.

Joint Value

1. Optimized Experience: The combination of a stable network and localized payments creates a smooth payment journey, improving conversion rates.
2. Accelerated Market Entry: Simultaneously resolve network and payment issues, shortening the time to enter new markets.
3. Enhanced Risk Control: ipocto ensures network security, while Strapi focuses on payment risk control, building a dual-layer protection system.
4. Cost Reduction: A one-stop solution replaces the management of multiple service providers, achieving cost savings and efficiency improvements.
