Caribbean merchants using GoHighLevel.com can now accept online payments and receive settlement to their approved accounts at participating local commercial banks.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. 4, 2026: Genius Digital Commerce Limited has launched Genius Checkout in the HighLevel App Marketplace, giving Caribbean businesses, agencies and consultants a direct route from HighLevel customer journeys to approved Powertranz payment credentials.
HighLevel combines CRM, websites and sales funnels, email and SMS marketing, calendars, workflow automation, invoicing, reputation management and payments in one system. Its current company profile reports that the platform powered 2.2 million businesses, facilitated 6.9 billion leads and supported US$4.2 billion in sales during 2025.
Regional users could build a campaign, capture a lead, schedule an appointment and close a sale in HighLevel, yet still face a gap at the final step: collecting payment through the Powertranz relationship available from their acquiring institution. The Genius Checkout HighLevel integration closes that gap without forcing merchants to replace HighLevel or abandon their local bank.
The buyer continues from HighLevel to a secure Genius Checkout payment page carrying the order amount and supported customer details.
From lead to Powertranz payment in one connected journey
Businesses can use HighLevel to attract prospects, manage conversations, automate follow-up, book appointments and sell products or services. Genius Checkout adds the Powertranz payment connection, allowing eligible merchants to:
- Accept one-time and recurring payments from compatible HighLevel funnels, order forms, calendars, invoices, memberships and communities.
- Use supported saved-payment methods for repeat and off-session billing.
- Process full or partial refunds and keep payment status synchronized.
- Receive settlement through their own Powertranz acquiring relationship. Genius Checkout does not hold merchant funds.
The integration supports both Powertranz Direct and the Powertranz Hosted Payment Page, giving merchants a choice between an integrated checkout experience and a gateway-hosted payment flow, subject to their account configuration and compliance requirements.
Genius Checkout supports the currencies made available through Powertranz rather than imposing a separate fixed currency list. Each merchant's Powertranz and acquiring-bank agreement determines which currencies the business can accept and settle.
Powertranz, formerly First Atlantic Commerce, reports that its network connects with more than 20 acquiring banks and payment processors in 30 countries and powers more than 10,000 merchants.
Genius Digital Commerce Limited has been a Strategic Technology Partner of Powertranz, formerly First Atlantic Commerce, since 2021. The company has helped businesses across the Caribbean integrate with the payment gateway, accept online card payments and receive settlement through their local acquiring bank accounts. That experience with regional merchants, banks and payment journeys shaped Genius Checkout's focus on connecting local payment infrastructure to the business platforms merchants choose.
“We built Genius Checkout because Caribbean businesses should not have to choose between the software that can help them grow and the Powertranz payment infrastructure available through their local acquiring relationships,” said Kemar Harris, founder of Genius Checkout. “Integrating with HighLevel is an important milestone for us because it connects Powertranz payments to a platform that businesses, agencies and consultants use to manage the entire customer journey, from the first lead and follow-up to the booking, sale and ongoing customer relationship. It demonstrates that regional payments can be a seamless part of world-class business software instead of an obstacle merchants encounter at the final step. We are committed to bringing Genius Checkout to many more regional and global platforms. We prioritize that work according to demand from our users, and our developers are implementing several additional integrations on our roadmap.”
A force multiplier for agencies and consultants
HighLevel's agency model allows service providers to operate their own business while managing separate client accounts. The Genius Checkout app can create value beyond a single installation: an agency can design funnels, automations and customer journeys for clients, then help eligible businesses connect their approved Powertranz credentials instead of commissioning a new payment integration for every project.
The app is available through the HighLevel App Marketplace. Merchants need a Genius Checkout account and approved Powertranz credentials from their acquiring institution. Payment methods, currencies and settlement availability depend on each merchant's agreement and configuration.
