In order to give Direct-to-Customer (D2C) merchants simple access to credit and help them fulfill their working capital needs, Klub, a leading Revenue Based Finance firm, and Simpl, India’s premier one-tap checkout platform, have partnered. Under this partnership, merchants will have comprehensive digital access to finance at low-interest rates with customizable terms.
Simpl includes capital-as-a-service in its booster package for partner merchants in an effort to address a significant difficulty encountered by D2C merchants experiencing hyper-growth. For many Indian enterprises that are digitally native, this program will enable long-term value generation and help alleviate a significant pain point building, credit access, digital marketing, and e-commerce consulting that helps boost business. Simpl is also extending its “Booster Package” with this relationship, which grants unique access to services from other D2C enablers like brand building, credit access, digital marketing, and e-commerce consulting that helps boost business. These initiatives are aimed at creating a trusted ecosystem of D2C merchants that offer their customers high-quality products and a seamless payment experience.
According to the “Beyond E-commerce 3.0” research by Kalaari Capital, the pandemic’s quick digitalization has resulted in at least 50 million new customers being added to the Indian e-commerce platforms over the previous two years. Also, by 2025, India is expected to have 1.1 billion internet users, 30% of whom will be engaged in online shopping. As a result, it becomes crucial to support D2C merchants on numerous fronts, including credit access, discoverability, and frictionless payments. Simpl aspires to be at the forefront of enabling this transition because D2C merchants are estimated to produce $50 billion in sales by 2025.
The way platforms provide funding to their merchants is being revolutionized by Klub. “Our cutting-edge embedded capital offering is a plug-and-play lending solution that synchronizes smoothly with the platforms of our partners. We are thrilled to work with Simpl to provide its expanding network of D2C merchants with rapid and flexible financing alternatives to help them fulfill their expanding business needs. Additionally, we guarantee that merchants have the finest financing options by offering a variety of capital partners, including banks, NBFCs, and our own credit fund”. Anurakt Jain, co-founder, and CEO of Klub, expressed his excitement at the opportunity to lead this change and help platforms realize the full potential of their merchant ecosystems. As a part of its initiatives to support the D2C ecosystem, Klub aims to disburse loans worth Rs.200 crore over the next six months to small businesses across the country.
The D2C ecosystem in India is expanding quickly as a result of merchants’ increasing desire to create a distinctive customer experience, expanding beyond e-commerce marketplaces to get market access and establish direct relationships with end users. To make this possible, it is necessary to build a whole digital value chain, including a payment infrastructure, in order to provide millions of clients with a seamless experience.
