As EV charging platforms mature, payment systems tend to accumulate complexity. Multiple providers, evolving compliance requirements, and platform-specific implementations can gradually make ev charging payments harder to maintain and riskier to change.

To address this, Ocean has integrated GlobalPayments, a global payment service provider, using a modernized Payment Service Provider (PSP) framework. The goal is not to change how partners experience payments, but to ensure a reliable and scalable foundation as charging networks grow. For our partners, this means stable and predictable ev charging payments that can support long-term expansion.

Why GlobalPayments matters for EV charging payments

In large, long-running EV charging systems, payments are rarely static. Global payment service providers evolve, regulations change, and new platforms are introduced over time.

Choosing the right global payment service provider is critical for supporting expansion across markets while meeting operational and compliance requirements. By integrating GlobalPayments within a structured PSP framework, Ocean strengthens its ev charging payment solutions while keeping day-to-day operations consistent for partners.

What this integration changes

GlobalPayments is the first global payment service provider integrated using Ocean’s new PSP framework.

Instead of treating the provider as a standalone integration, Ocean connects GlobalPayments through a shared structure that standardizes core payment operations, such as:

• authorization
• capture
• refunds

This creates a clear separation between Ocean’s internal payment logic and provider-specific implementation details.

As a result, ev charging payments become easier to test, operate, and evolve over time. This approach reflects how the best payments ev charging networks are designed for scale and longevity.

How GlobalPayments is implemented

The integration with GlobalPayments is supported by a shared payment layer used across Ocean’s applications, including iOS and Android mobile apps, as well as the ad-hoc app.

Common concerns such as error handling, logging, monitoring, and compliance are handled centrally, reducing duplication and ensuring consistent behavior across payment flows. Implementing GlobalPayments through this framework establishes a reference integration for current and future ev charging payment solutions.

Why this strengthens the Ocean platform

Integrating GlobalPayments through a modernized PSP framework reduces maintenance effort, lowers operational risk, and ensures consistent payment behavior across platforms. It also creates a stable foundation for future payment-related work as requirements evolve.

For our partners, this translates into a more predictable and reliable payment backbone that supports ev charging payments as networks grow, without introducing unnecessary complexity or disruption.
