The BessPay Plugin for Sharetribe integrates Interledger’s Open Payments standard, enabling MSMEs to transact globally in local currencies, faster, cheaper, and more securely. In this Demo Lab, participants will see a live walkthrough of SouthLink Marketplace, covering marketplace owner setup, seller onboarding, wallet linking, and buyer checkout flows.

The demo shows how Open Payments make marketplace payments interoperable and inclusive. Participants will learn how MSME sellers join digital trade ecosystems while marketplace owners configure wallets and manage transparent transactions. With 440 million MSMEs in the Global South employing 1 billion people (World Bank), this innovation drives cross-border trade, financial inclusion, and sustainable growth.
