The integration of ekko’s features into the Ecommpay Hosted Payment Page will empower customers to turn everyday payments into measurable environmental impact. Critically, the process is delivered seamlessly at the checkout, for a frictionless customer experience.
The Ecommpay research conducted by IMRG revealed that more than half (59.5%) of consumers always, often or sometimes actively choose to shop with retailers that are environmentally friendly. A further 15.8% would choose a retailer supporting environmental charities.
ekko works with a range of organisations across key environmental issues including the oceans, nature, wildlife, birdlife and climate. Its tools, which can be accessed post-purchase, show customers the impact of their transaction in real time with the facility to offset it, with the opportunity to contribute to high-integrity environmental projects.
“There is a clear shift in consumer attitudes to sustainability to which e-commerce businesses and FinTechs want to respond,” explained Miranda McLean, Chief Marketing Officer, Ecommpay. “Shoppers want the brands they buy from to act responsibly. However, most merchants lack the tools to integrate climate action without adding complexity or friction.
“By embedding ekko into our Hosted Payment Page, we are giving merchants the ability to offer a post-purchase sustainability feature that customers can access without the need for clicks or redirects. Supporting a wide range of climate initiatives, we believe this is a major step in scaling accessible, impactful climate action through e-commerce. A small action by consumers can have a big ripple effect for the environment.”
“Our mission is to make climate action part of the everyday, and payments are one of the most powerful moments to do that,” added Oli Cook, CEO and co-founder of ekko. “This partnership with Ecommpay brings sustainability to the checkout in a way that’s intuitive, measurable, and scalable. It’s a huge step forward for the future of responsible commerce.”
The Ecommpay Hosted Payment Page enables merchants to increase conversions through a seamless shopping experience, with dynamic display of payment methods, depending on user preferences and geography. The intuitive payment page dynamically modifies the selection of payment options displayed based on transaction history, location, risk factors, and more. It also includes the unique Payouts via Hosted Payment Page solution, delivering an efficient way to process payouts to payment cards as well for deposits made to Apple Pay and Google Pay – a game-changer for businesses where senders don’t have the beneficiary’s details.
The addition of ekko to Ecommpay’s Hosted Payment Page provides another important function for building customer loyalty and satisfaction, delivering climate impact at the point where brand trust is strongest: after a successful purchase. “At Ecommpay, we’re focused on helping our merchants grow while adapting to what matters most to their customers,” concluded Miranda McLean. “This integration with ekko empowers businesses to meet rising sustainability expectations in a way that’s seamless and impactful, without compromising on speed, security, or user experience.”
Merchants already using Ecommpay’s Hosted Payment Page can begin integrating ekko’s features from August 2025. No SDKs or major development work is required, just a simple configuration to switch it on.
