Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) firm Atome has partnered with online shopping platform Taobao Singapore to introduce its payment option for local shoppers.
The new BNPL payment feature is now available on the Taobao mobile app. Shoppers need an existing Atome account to use this payment method at checkout.
This collaboration aims to enhance the shopping experience for Taobao’s Singapore users, providing easier access to over 2 billion products with the added flexibility of Atome’s BNPL option.
To celebrate the launch, Taobao Singapore is offering a special promotion with S$12 off purchases of S$120 or more for Atome users every Saturday until 3 August.
Additionally, during the 6.18 mega shopping festival from 1 to 7 June , shoppers will receive S$15 off purchases of S$200 or more.
Jean Zhao, Country Manager of Taobao Singapore said,
“Singapore is a key market for us, and we are dedicated to delivering localised solutions that make the experience of shopping on Taobao and Tmall akin to that of local shopping.
Adding Atome’s popular BNPL payment option to our range of existing options will offer greater choice, flexibility and convenience to our valued customers and elevate their shopping experience.”
Bryan Quek, General Manager, Atome Singapore said,
“Together, we aim to provide consumers with a more convenient and flexible shopping and payment experience, while also supporting Taobao Singapore’s merchant community.
This enables a more seamless cross-border shopping experience and supports regional ecommerce to thrive and grow.”
