Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) Company Atome has partnered with online shopping platform Taobao Singapore to introduce payment options for local shoppers.
A new BNPL payment feature is now available on the Taobao mobile app. A shopper must have an existing Atome account to use this payment method at checkout.
The collaboration aims to enhance the shopping experience for Taobao’s Singapore users, giving them easy access to over 2 billion products with the added flexibility of Atome’s BNPL options.
To celebrate, Taobao Singapore is offering Atome users a special promotion of S$12 off on purchases of S$120 or more every Saturday until August 3.
Additionally, during the 6.18 Mega Shopping Festival from June 1 to 7, shoppers can enjoy a discount of S$15 on purchases of S$200 or more.
Jean Zhao, Country Manager of Taobao Singapore, said:
“Singapore is an important market for us and we are focused on providing localized solutions that bring the shopping experience on Taobao and Tmall closer to the local shopping experience.
Adding Atome’s popular BNPL payment option to our existing options will provide our valued customers with greater choice, flexibility and convenience, enhancing their shopping experience. ”
Brian Quek, General Manager of Atome Singapore, said:
“Together, we aim to provide consumers with a more convenient and flexible shopping and payment experience, while supporting Taobao Singapore’s seller community.
This enables a more seamless cross-border shopping experience and supports regional e-commerce to flourish and grow. ”
