Payments and delivery that work
Checkout set up for how people in France pay — Cartes Bancaires, other cards and PayPal — with delivery tested before launch.
- 03
Launch before the peak
The official sales in January and summer, Fashion Week, and the Christmas season are key, along with the summer tourist peak. The store is live and tested well before then.
