flaconi’s journey to seamless payments
As Germany’s leading online beauty retailer, flaconi is on a mission to offer customers the most seamless and flexible shopping experience. With over 4.5 million active customers, flaconi continuously innovates to stay ahead in the competitive beauty e-commerce space.
When the holiday peak season of 2024 approached, bringing high-volume shopping events like Black Friday and Christmas, flaconi sought a flexible, customer-friendly payment solution that would reduce friction at checkout while supporting their expansion goals.
That’s where Riverty stepped in.

The challenge: Adapting to changing customer payment preferences
As customer expectations shift, flexible payment solutions have become essential for e-commerce success.
- 1 in 5 heavy shoppers now consider BNPL a must-have at checkout.
- 43% of 18-39-year-olds actively look for BNPL when shopping online.
- Merchants using Riverty’s 14/30-day invoice see +15% more purchases and +16% higher order values on average.
For flaconi, offering multiple payment options was critical to keeping conversion rates high during peak sales periods like Black Friday and Christmas.
With peak sales approaching, the company faced several challenges:
- Increased demand during high-traffic shopping events required a reliable and scalable payment solution.
- Shoppers were looking for greater flexibility at checkout, especially for larger purchases.
- Ensuring a seamless, digital payment experience without friction or disruptions.
To address these challenges, flaconi decided to implement Riverty’s Buy Now, Pay Later solution in October 2024, ensuring a smooth and worry-free shopping experience for its customers.
The solution: Redirect flow with Riverty – seamless, flexible, and customer-first
flaconi integrated Riverty redirect, a low-effort integration solution that allows businesses to offer multiple payment options without complex technical development.
The redirect flow includes:
- Invoice (14/30 days) – The preferred choice for millions of European shoppers, increasing checkout conversion by +15% on average.
- Direct debit – Used by 80% of German consumers, ensuring predictable revenue and lower transaction costs.
- Fixed installments – Proven to increase orders by up to 20%, making high-value beauty purchases more accessible.
By choosing redirect, flaconi benefited from a low-integration-effort solution that ensured compliance, security, and an optimized user experience.
