SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 13 December 2018 - Love,
Bonito, Singapore’s largest home-grown women‘s fashion brand has embarked
on a partnership with Adyen, the payments platform of
choice for many of the world’s leading companies, to optimize its payments
process and checkout experience across both the brand’s online and offline
platforms. Love, Bonito’s latest store at Jem offers a unified commerce
experience through Adyen’s point-of-sale (POS)
system.

 

“The fashion and retail industry is one that is
always evolving and businesses like ours need to continuously innovate
to remain ahead of the curve. By partnering with Adyen, we are able to offer our customers a seamless payment experience
that works for our millennial audience,” said Dione Song, Love, Bonito’s
Chief Commercial Officer. “Adyen offers us a unified
commerce solution that aligns with our ongoing business strategy to creating
meaningful in-store experiences that enable easier and more frictionless customer experiences.”

 

Love, Bonito’s fashion-forward customers fall into
the Spendsetter category.  Spendsetters^[1] are
a rapidly expanding category of shoppers who embrace technology and set trends
for how people shop and spend.  This
group make up 55% of Singaporean shoppers — they are avid users of technology and demand seamless digital and offline
shopping journeys. This reflects in payment method preferences.  While cash and credit cards are still the
preferred mode of payment for everyday transactions, Spendsetters increasingly
look for contactless payments.  

 

Through the collaboration with Adyen, Love, Bonito will
be able to offer a unified payment experience across its online and
offline stores. Adyen’s all-in-one payments solution allows Love, Bonito to tailor and enhance customer
shopping experiences, thereby improving brand loyalty. Additionally, Adyen

serving customers across the region from Hong Kong to Australia and the United
States.

 

“To encourage brand loyalty, Love,
Bonito is putting the customer at the center of its business by creating a unified experience across online and offline sales channels. They
know that for Spendsetters, shopping with a smartphone is a given, so tailored
experiences are crucial to continuing to build loyalty and trust.  As a company, Love,
Bonito is working hard to deliver a trusted and seamless experience that
enables them to increase their footprint into regional markets as well as to
optimize existing customer conversions. We are excited to be working with Love,
Bonito, a vibrant and innovative brand in the fashion space that understands
