Paymentwall Inc. is a San Francisco-based international payments platform that allows both private individuals and businesses to sell goods and services over the Internet.
Honor Gunday and Vladimir Kovalyov started Paymentwall in April 2010 to help game companies on Facebook monetize their global traffic. On July 1, 2011, Facebook announced that they would no longer allow any outside monetization providers, at which point the company pivoted to providing services to non-Facebook games and online dating websites.
In 2011, the company entered into partnership with Alipay, a third-party mobile and online payment platform, established in Hangzhou, China in February 2004 by Alibaba Group.
Paymentwall launched a payment system for Smart TVs in November 2014.
Paymentwall is headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in Istanbul,Berlin,Kiev, Manila, Amsterdam, Las Vegas, Hanoi, Beijing, London, Lisbon, Seoul, Sofia, Poznan, Moscow and Novosibirsk.
In November 2015, the company unveiled its intergalactic-themed development lab in Kiev.
