Debenhams Group, the recently renamed online retail powerhouse behind household name 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, the UK’s iconic online department store, as the group continues to scale its digital capabilities. With the integration of Mangopay’s technology, Debenhams will be able to simplify payouts, enhance operations and create a future-ready foundation for seamless multi-vendor commerce.
Debenhams operates a fast-growing marketplace that connects customers with a community of more than 15,000 premium brands. The new infrastructure will enhance the way Debenhams 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,” said Dan Finley, chief executive officer of 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,” added 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.”

The appetite for wallet-based experiences is growing, positioning platforms to unlock new opportunities and drive long-term growth through more integrated, flexible infrastructures.
According to Mangopay’s own recent report, Insights into in-app wallets: What platforms must know about user behavior and expectations, 43% of platform users prefer to pay and get paid via built-in wallets. As companies like Debenhams Group continue to embrace these shifts, they position themselves at the forefront of digital commerce by delivering flexible, intuitive, and efficient financial experiences across their ecosystems.
