Kayana Partners with Nuvei to Power Payments Across Every Channel
Global payment acceptance, local acquiring, and automatic payment splitting for multi-site operators, now built into the Kayana platform.
In short: Kayana's payments now run on Nuvei's global infrastructure. That adds worldwide acceptance, local acquiring, and automatic payment splitting for multi-site operators. Existing customers don't need to set up anything extra.
Kayana has partnered with Nuvei, a global fintech that processes payments across more than 190 markets, to power connected payments across every channel on the Kayana platform. The partnership brings global payment acceptance, local acquiring, and a wider range of payment methods to Kayana's EPOS, self-service kiosks, and online ordering, all through the one connection Kayana already runs on (Nuvei, September 2026).
Kayana already gives operators a single system for ordering, payments, and operations across every channel they sell through. Nuvei now sits underneath that system, handling how those payments actually move, wherever in the world a business operates.
The announcement, in brief
What this is
The integration adds three things to Kayana's existing payments setup: global payment acceptance, local acquiring capability across dozens of markets, and access to a wider set of alternative payment methods, all through the single connection Kayana already has in place (Nuvei, September 2026).
Kayana is also using Nuvei for Platforms, Nuvei's system for onboarding sellers and handling payments between multiple parties. It verifies the identity and business credentials of each new restaurant partner, then splits every payment automatically between Kayana and that partner, keeping reconciliation straightforward as Kayana's network of partners grows (Nuvei, September 2026) — the same kind of per-partner clarity we've written about before when it comes to keeping payments reconciled automatically rather than chased by hand.
One payments partner behind the till, the kiosk, and the online store, wherever your business operates.
What this means for you
Running a single site. Nothing changes in how your till, kiosk, or online orders work day to day. Payments simply run on stronger infrastructure behind the scenes.
Running multiple sites, a franchise, or a food hall. Partner onboarding and payment splitting now happen automatically through Nuvei for Platforms, so reconciliation stays straightforward as you add locations or partners — the same principle behind keeping ordering in sync across multiple sites more generally.
Expanding into a new country. Local acquiring capability means a new market doesn't require you to set up and manage a separate merchant account for that region.
Selling across counter, kiosk, and online today. Every channel now settles through the same payments partner, so reporting finally lines up channel to channel instead of needing to be reconciled by hand.
What happens next
For existing Kayana customers, there's no new hardware to fit and no separate sign-up on your side. If you're evaluating Kayana for the first time, this is the payments infrastructure your account runs on from day one.
Payments were never meant to be the part of running a hospitality or retail business that took the most reconciling. With Nuvei's infrastructure now sitting underneath Kayana's platform, they don't have to be.
