The successful launch and distribution of Simpl's innovative "Pay in 3 and Checkout" product, which now boasts a strong portfolio of 1500 D2C merchants, reflects our collective commitment to product excellence and customer-centric solutions. Our collaborations, including a partnership with Shopify, have been instrumental in crafting a distribution framework that significantly amplifies our market reach.
