Shopify revenue is way, way up.<\/strong> The Canadian PF reported a 97% increase in revenue year-over-year for the second quarter of 2020.

The company\u2019s total payment volume grew 30% on an FXN basis to $222 billion and it added 21.3 million net new active accounts, the most ever in a quarter. \u201cIn the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital payments have become more important and essential than ever. Our record performance in the second quarter \u2014 our strongest quarter ever \u2014 reaffirms the relevance of PayPal in the unfolding digital future.

PF Partnerships Pay Off<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

UnionPay card acceptance is growing in Europe.<\/strong> According to UnionPay, which is based in China, the number of SumUp merchants accepting the cards has grown over the last 12 months to more than 800,000. The companies have expanded their relationship since it began in 2012. UnionPay cardholders can use their cards at merchants in the U.K., Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Sweden.

Shopify is helping Walmart rapidly expand its online marketplace.<\/strong> The two companies announced a relationship in June, when Walmart opened its marketplace to Shopify sellers. At the time, Walmart announced a goal of onboarding 1,200 Shopify sellers this year. In June, the marketplace added 3,000 sellers and for July, it is expected to add 3,600 new sellers, more than triple its January number. While the surge can\u2019t all be attributed to Shopify, it appears that the partnership hasn\u2019t hurt. From TechCrunch<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
