Payment partnership with Klarna
Cellular Goods (LSE: CBX) a UK-based skincare and wellness company providing premium consumer products formulated with lab-produced cannabinoids, is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with Klarna Bank AB ("Klarna"), a Swedish provider of online financial services, to bring Klarna's buy now, pay later (BNPL) services to Cellular Goods' ecommerce website.
Through the partnership consumers buying products on www.cellular-goods.com can choose to split payment across three equal instalments or can choose to defer payment for up to 30 days with zero interest and no additional fees. The new payment options will be available to all customers in the United Kingdom.
Cellular Goods believes that offering flexible purchase options will support increased sales and open the Company's products up to new audiences.
Demand for buy now, pay later payment services has surged among all age groups in the UK and is popular with shoppers across Cellular Goods' target demographics. While the age group using BNPL services most frequently is 25-34-year-olds, the fastest-growing group of BNPL users in the UK is now comprised of older and more affluent customers in the 45 and above age cohort (Source: Experian, 2023).
Darcy Taylor, chairman and interim CEO, commented: "The partnership with Klarna is an important improvement to our ecommerce offering and responds to a growing consumer trend. Providing our customers with a range of flexible payment methods enhances their shopping experience and expands our reach to new audiences."
