Plug-in: The BNPL payment solution for e-commerce and digital marketplaces

One of the most important points for an online store is the payment method. This can have a major impact on the purchase decision. Based on fully digitized processes and a highly scalable tech platform, Billie opens up new freedoms for large and small online stores - Now also in Smartstore! With fast liquidity, access to modern payment solutions and automated workflows, both user experience and conversion rates are improved. As a market leader, Billie offers an innovative B2B payment method: Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL). Thanks to modern checkout solutions, businesses can easily pay and get paid on their own terms.

About BilliePay

In search of an efficient and scalable solution, Contorion turned to the Berlin-based start-up Billie. Together with the payment and factoring specialist, the B2B retailer was able to introduce a data-based, automated BNPL solution. Today, the online store offers stable limits up to 100,000 euros, even for new customers and guests, as well as flexible payment terms of up to 120 days. Due to high acceptance rates of more than 85 percent and the improved user experience, the conversion rate has increased by more than 50 percent. Together with Klarna, Billie has been offering BNPL to business customers as a plug-and-play solution for a few months. "B2B buyers today are digital-first and used to the automated processes from B2C," says co-founder Dr. Matthias Knech
