Solidgate, a payment orchestration platform, has selected Nopan, a performance platform for account and wallet payments, to power Wero payments for its merchant base. The partnership will allow Solidgate merchants to offer Wero at checkout, giving consumers in Europe access to the pan-European payment method while aiming to support merchant conversion rates. Wero will be made available to eligible Solidgate merchants in Wero-supported markets in October 2026.
Wero is a digital wallet developed by the European Payments Initiative (EPI). The wallet launched in Germany in late 2025 and is being rolled out in Belgium and France during 2026. Luxembourg is transitioning to Wero from Payconiq, while the Netherlands has begun migrating from iDEAL. Additional functionality, including recurring payments, is expected to be introduced as the rollout continues. The staggered, market-by-market expansion reflects the broader ambition behind Wero: to establish a wallet that can operate consistently across multiple national payment infrastructures that previously relied on separate local schemes.
Scope of the partnership
Under the agreement, Nopan will provide Solidgate with direct connectivity to Wero and will manage the payment method across its full lifecycle. This includes assessing market opportunity, designing the checkout flow, launching the integration, and handling ongoing operation and optimisation. Solidgate will continue to manage the commercial and technical relationship with its merchants, while Nopan operates behind that layer, focusing on conversion performance, reliability, cost efficiency and day-to-day operational management of Wero transactions.
For Solidgate, the arrangement is intended to provide continued performance support as Wero extends into additional markets and adds new payment capabilities, rather than requiring the company to build and maintain this expertise internally.
Combining automated analysis with payment specialists
Nopan's approach centres on what it describes as Performance Intelligence, a system that analyses payment behaviour at scale to identify anomalies and patterns across different markets, payment methods, and banks. The technology is also used to estimate the likely causes and commercial impact of the patterns it detects.
Findings generated through this analysis are then reviewed by Nopan's payment specialists, who apply market-specific context and work alongside Solidgate's teams to implement adjustments and measure their effect. In this model, automated analysis is used to identify signals at scale, while decisions on implementation and execution remain with payment specialists.
Industry context
The partnership illustrates a broader dynamic in the European payments sector as account-to-account and wallet-based payment methods gain ground alongside card payments. As Wero moves toward wider adoption in ecommerce, payment service providers are weighing whether to develop native connectivity and optimisation capabilities themselves or to work with specialist partners already operating in this space. Konstantin Surkov, Co-founder and CEO of Nopan, said the company's role addresses the operational detail required to run Wero effectively in each market, describing this as distinct from the technical work of establishing connectivity. Yurii Candela, Chief Business Development Officer at Solidgate, said the arrangement is intended to give merchants access to Wero without adding operational complexity on their side.
