London, April 23, 2014 - Worldpay, a global leader in payment processing, risk and alternative payments, today announced the launch of an e-commerce integration module with hybris, an SAP company and the world's fastest-growing commerce platform provider, giving customers access to Worldpay's end-to-end services including payment processing, alternative payments, fraud and acquiring services, through the hybris platform.

The integration module provides hybris customers access to a ready-made global payment solution, saving customers significant development time and money. Customers benefit from access to an all-encompassing set of services including a secure, safe and flexible payment gateway.

The integration of Worldpay's services into the hybris platform enables customers to roll-out cross-border strategies and take advantage of global e-commerce opportunities, while maximising transaction success.
