Companies Using PayU in the UK: 5,917 Active Firms (2026)
UK companies running website payment technology accept online transactions from customers through embedded checkout and payment-processing workflows.
Embedded payment stacks sit in the revenue and operations layer rather than the back-office software estate. Adoption usually points to an online checkout with enough order flow to justify an external payment processor, internal responsibility for conversion, refunds and reconciliation, and some tolerance for gateway, fraud-screening and settlement complexity. Buying centres tend to split between ecommerce teams, finance operations and product owners; in service-led firms, marketing or reservations teams may also influence the workflow. The cohort is skewed towards digital commerce operators, subscription sellers, marketplaces and travel or education providers, with engagements that look more like ongoing operational infrastructure than a simple website plug-in.

Across the UK, 5,917 actively trading companies are running this checkout stack on public websites. The adoption base is not confined to pure retail: field services and trades account for 46.8% of the cohort, while construction contributes 15.9%, travel and hospitality 7.4%, fashion and retail 6.8%, and wholesale and distribution 6.3%; those labels can overlap where firms operate across channels. Reported employment totals 1,538 people, so the visible footprint is weighted towards small teams rather than enterprise-only estates. Median headcount of 6 also points to a long tail of operators using embedded payments without a large in-house technology function.
Card acceptance brings operational obligations even when payment processing is outsourced. Companies running this stack still need clear customer terms, refund handling, dispute workflows, tax treatment for cross-border sales, and controls around stored identifiers or transaction metadata. Where the checkout sits inside subscriptions, travel bookings or education fees, the compliance burden tends to sit across finance, product and customer operations rather than legal alone. Procurement is also shaped by integration risk: finance teams care about settlement and reconciliation, while product teams care about checkout abandonment and payment-method coverage.
Adoption appears likely to broaden through packaged commerce platforms and sector-specific booking systems, rather than through every merchant building its own payment layer. Smaller operators tend to value low-touch onboarding, hosted checkout and simple reconciliation; larger users are more likely to push for orchestration, alternative payment methods and tighter finance-system integration. The main constraint is not technical curiosity but switching friction: payment downtime, chargeback exposure and broken reporting can damage revenue operations quickly. Consolidation in payment tooling may therefore show up as gradual migration and bundling, not a sudden replacement cycle.

Key facts
About 1% of the trading cohort reports turnover above £5M (76 of 5,917 firms) — the rest sits below that revenue band.
8% of the cohort was incorporated since 2022 (518 firms), so a sizeable share is in its first few filing cycles.
Website-stack overlap is concentrated: 100.0% of the cohort also runs at least one other detected business application, while 99.9% also runs two further workflow or experience tools.
Field Services & Trades is the largest sector tag at 46.8% (2,771), followed by Construction at 15.9% (943).
Consumer and distribution categories are smaller: Travel & Hospitality accounts for 7.4% (438), Fashion & Retail for 6.8% (405), and Wholesale & Distribution for 6.3% (371).
The cohort is linked to 10,502 verified decision-maker contacts, allowing sales and partnership mapping below the company level.
Financial risk is mixed, with 22.5% (1,330) in the stable band, 17.3% (1,024) in the weak band, and 8.4% (495) in the distressed band.

How PayU usage is detected
Company data
Detected companies are joined to UK Companies House records and XBRL accounts data. Revenue and headcount figures come from the most recent filed accounts; where the company has not filed, values are estimated using a model trained on filed history and peer benchmarks and are labelled as estimates.
Detection
Firmbase crawls the public website of actively-trading UK companies and fingerprints the technologies present: tracking scripts, embedded forms, chat widgets, CMS markers and similar signatures. A company is included in this list when one or more of the technology's signatures are found on its site; closely-related variants of the same product are grouped under one name. Detection covers what is visible on the public web — a company using the technology purely internally, with no website footprint, will not appear. Counts are therefore a conservative floor, not a ceiling.
Freshness
Websites are re-crawled on a rolling basis and the underlying company data is refreshed from Companies House continuously; filings appear within days of submission. The list and its statistics are regenerated when the detected cohort moves meaningfully. You can see the last-updated timestamp near the top of the page.
