Rakuten France partners with Storfund

No primary category set

Rakuten France (previously known as PriceMinister) have partnered with Storfund to offer immediate payments for sales to Rakuten France’s sellers. 

London-based Storfund launched in 2018 after identifying an ecommerce pain point: marketplaces delay payment to sellers to facilitate refunds, but this leaves sellers without cash to restock, a particular problem in the last quarter of the year when sales can increase by 40%.

Storfund, the only European provider of this service, has grown rapidly in the last four years, expanding its presence to 20 countries and doubling the funding it provides each year. This new partnership will see Storfund open its service to Rakuten France’s large base of more than 8500 professional sellers.

Demand for Storfund’s service has intensified in response to the recent economic pressures. “

The surges in ecommerce sales over the past few years have shown that sellers can be making huge profits and still have an empty bank account due to payment delays, now economic headwinds have intensified, the need for reliable cash flow has increased.

– Oliver Whelan, Chief Revenue Officer, Storfund

Partnership with Rakuten France gives Storfund unrivalled reach in the ecommerce seller community, and cements its position as the leader in this space; tens of thousands of sellers globally are now able to access its service across multiple marketplaces.

Storfund’s tech can be integrated quickly and easily by new partners. It already has relationships with Amazon, Back Market, Cdiscount, Fyndiq, PcComponentes and Unilae and a strong pipeline of new marketplace partnerships means more announcements are expected before the end of the year.

Storfund and Rakuten share the same values. Rakuten advocates a virtuous e-commerce model that benefits everyone, sellers of all sizes and all consumers. Similarly, Storfund has a mantra of “win-win ecommerce” by providing cash flow to help sellers grow, marketplaces grow too.

– Margaret-Anne Galvin, Head of Partnerships, Storfund
