It’s time for Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) to shake up the B2B e-commerce space. And thanks to a new partnership between Biller and ShopWired, that shake up is happening, bringing the convenience of the consumer checkout experience to business buyers worldwide.
"Biller’s goal is to help online B2B and B2C&B companies grow their businesses. After expanding into the UK, we knew that ShopWired would be a brilliant partner to help us achieve this goal”, says Biller Co-Founder & Managing Director Derek Vreeburg.
ShopWired is one of the top-rated UK e-commerce platforms, allowing companies to manage all of their selling activity from one place. Biller, a B2B Buy Now Pay Later payment method, is now one of their preferred payment methods, and their exclusive B2B BNPL partner.
"Teaming up with Biller allows us to help our ever-growing number of B2B merchants by providing the ideal solution to common B2B payment problems. Biller eliminates issues such as late payments, non-payment and managing credit balances. In addition, Biller allows B2B companies to take better control of their finances as they’ll know exactly when they’ll be paid. We believe this partnership will help our merchants provide a painless payment experience that can only help in the growth of their businesses", says ShopWired CEO and Founder, Rob Brearly.
Launched in 2021 to solve the lack of BNPL options in the B2B e-commerce industry, Biller simplifies both buying and selling online. After less than a year in the market, Biller was acquired by Banking Circle bringing the ideas of a startup to the reliability and experience of a market leader. The new Biller and ShopWired partnership signifies a long overdue shift in the B2B market that enables invoice payments in the digital age.
"ShopWired offers sellers a seamless and supported way to create their dream online store, while ensuring the best shopping experience for customers. This is great for both buyers AND sellers, aligning perfectly with our mission of supporting both sides in the transaction”, adds Derek.
BNPL is nothing new. Store accounts, buying from a catalogue and layaways are all predecessors to what we today know as BNPL. As e-commerce technology evolved in the 2000s, immediate payment became the norm for B2B online payments. Recently, consumers have discovered BNPL as an online payment method via services like Klarna and AfterPay. Millennials and Gen Z have emerged as the most likely demographics to engage with BNPL payments, and they will expect the same flexibility in their business transactions. (Global Data) Until now, there has been no equivalent for the B2B market. It’s time to level up and give businesses the same credit options.
By 2025, it is predicted that BNPL volumes will reach $680 billion globally. (Codat) For most businesses, the practice of offering payment terms of 30 days is nothing new. Until now, the technology to apply these options to online sales hasn't been available. Now, with the payment flow in BNPL estimated at $127tn (Equity Research), the B2B market is ready to adopt BNPL at a global level.
