Debenhams Group, the online retail powerhouse behind brands including Debenhams, PrettyLittleThing, boohoo, boohooMAN, and Karen Millen, is preparing for its next phase of digital marketplace growth as it partners with Mangopay, the wallet infrastructure provider.
According to a Mangopay report, Insights into in-app wallets: What platforms must know about user behaviour and expectations, 43 per cent of platform users prefer to pay and get paid via built-in wallets. By partnering with Mangopay, Debenhams Group will be able to simplify payouts, enhance operations and create a future-ready foundation for seamless multi-vendor commerce.
“As an online business, we’re constantly evolving to meet the needs of modern retail, from how customers shop, to how sellers transact,” said Dan Finley, chief executive officer of Debenhams Group. “Mangopay offers the flexibility and strategic insight we need to optimise our marketplace operations. Their wallet-based infrastructure integrates effortlessly with our existing systems, allowing us to unlock efficiency without disruption.”
