Dotpay was one of the pioneer names of Polish online payments — a Kraków company from the early 2000s that built the pay-by-link infrastructure connecting Polish e-commerce to the country's bank-transfer-first payment culture, long before international processors took Poland seriously. Alongside eCard, its card-acquiring counterpart, it formed the Dotcard group that served tens of thousands of Polish merchants through the first two decades of the country's e-commerce growth.
Today, Dotpay exists as a brand history rather than an operating company, and the sequence matters for anyone researching it. In January 2019 the Nordic payments group Nets acquired Dotcard — Dotpay and eCard together. Later that year, regulators approved a joint holding, P24 DotCard, combining the Nets-owned Dotpay/eCard with Przelewy24, Poland's largest online payment operator, with Nets holding 51% and Przelewy24 founder Piotr Kurczewski 49%. Nets itself was then absorbed into Italy's Nexi in 2021, carrying the whole Polish structure into the "European PayTech." The consolidation proceeded in stages: on 1 April 2021, Dotpay Sp. z o.o. was formally merged into PayPro SA, the company behind Przelewy24, and in the final phase merchant accounts were migrated off the Dotpay platform entirely — the company's own announcement was titled, plainly, "Dotpay is now Przelewy24." By 2026, Nexi's Polish operations are structured around Przelewy24 and Polskie ePłatności under shared group management, with Dotpay no longer named as a separate entity.
For merchants and researchers, the practical answer is simple: Dotpay's services, customers, and infrastructure live on inside Przelewy24, within the Nexi Group. The brand that helped build Polish e-commerce payments was ultimately consumed by the consolidation wave it helped make Poland attractive to.
