Designer Brands Sues Worldpay to <a href="https://laohu8.com/S/XYZ">Block</a> Early Termination of Payment Processing Agreement

Designer Brands Inc. has filed a lawsuit in Franklin County, Ohio, seeking to prevent Worldpay from terminating its credit and debit card processing agreement ahead of the contract’s scheduled expiration on May 31, 2026. Worldpay had attempted to end the agreement early, citing an alleged breach related to a financial metric, which Designer Brands disputes. The court has issued a temporary restraining order requiring Worldpay to continue its services until at least the contract’s end date. Designer Brands relies on Worldpay as the sole processor for nearly 500 DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse stores and for more than half of its online sales. The company is also seeking damages and is exploring alternative payment processing solutions to avoid potential disruptions to its operations.
