Online retailer Debenhams Group selects Mangopay to power next stage of marketplace growth

Debenhams Group, the online retail company behind brands including Debenhams, PrettyLittleThing, boohoo, boohooMAN, and Karen Millen, has selected Mangopay’s wallet infrastructure to support the next phase of its marketplace growth.

The multi-year partnership will debut with Debenhams.

Debenhams operates a marketplace that connects customers with a community of more than 15,000 premium brands. The new infrastructure will enhance the way it manages multi-seller payments and real-time fund distribution on the platform, as well as the automation of reconciliation and invoicing. 

“As an online business, we’re constantly evolving to meet the needs of modern retail, from how customers shop, to how sellers transact,” says Dan Finley, Chief Executive Officer at Debenhams Group. “Mangopay offers the flexibility and strategic insight we need to optimise our marketplace operations. Their wallet-based infrastructure integrates effortlessly with our existing systems, allowing us to unlock efficiency without disruption.”

“We’re always proud to offer our wallet-based services to leading platforms such as Debenhams,” says Jonathan Greenland, Sales Director at Mangopay. “When we’re working with innovative clients, it pushes us to be even more ambitious in how we evolve and deliver our infrastructure. We’re looking forward to seeing our joined forces thrive in this dynamic platform ecosystem.” 

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Payments will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
