NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2021 — Splitit Payments Limited (“Splitit” or the “Company”) (ASX: SPT) (OTCQX: SPTTY), the Company empowering shoppers to use their credit cards to pay in installments, is pleased to report record merchant sales volume (MSV) for the two months to the end of November 2021, including the Black Friday and Cyber Monday holiday period.
John Harper, Interim CEO of Splitit, commented, “It is pleasing to report record MSV growth in the fourth quarter to date. We’re only two months into the quarter, and already we’ve surpassed the MSV reported for the whole of any previous quarter, with Christmas still ahead of us, which we are optimistic about.
“The strong MSV performance is attributable to the successful execution by the team over the holiday shopping period, better than anticipated results from Japan, and ongoing underlying MSV growth and momentum. Capturing seasonal and launch event opportunities is important, but I’m just as pleased to see progress across the business and our efforts translating into strong fundamental MSV growth.”
MSV acceleration continues across Asia Pacific (“APAC”)
While North America and the UK continue to be priority markets for future growth, the APAC region contributed significantly to the FY21 Q4 growth to date, with $US24M MSV. APAC growth improved 836% YoY and 451% QoQ, buoyed by a rapid seasonal acceleration in Japan in October and November. The success in Japan, which reported US$20M of QTD MSV, further demonstrates the value of our installment solution, especially for merchants wanting a solution that can help them sell more and serve numerous geographic markets while giving consumers an easy way to spend smarter using their existing credit cards.
Record MSV over shopping holiday weekend
Splitit reports a record US$11M in MSV across the holiday shopping weekend, including Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which took place from 26 to 29 November. Strong MSV growth was recorded across all Splitit’s geographic markets of North America, Europe and APAC.
Splitit’s Average Order Value (AOV) remains above $1K, signaling that shoppers continue to select Splitit to use their existing credit in a smarter way for bigger purchases while earning all the cashback, rewards, and purchase protections built into their cards.
Wix Integration strengthens E-commerce platform support
Splitit has recently integrated with Wix, a leading cloud-based web development services company. Wix helps small and medium-sized businesses create websites and mobile sites using online drag and drop tools. The integration enables merchants with a Wix site to easily offer Splitit’s installment payments to their shoppers using their credit cards.
The addition of Wix adds another leading e-commerce platform to Splitit, which now supports six of the leading global e-commerce platforms, including Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Salesforce Commerce Cloud.
At this point in time, Splitit is not able to determine the economic materiality of the Wix integration due to the contingent nature of results that may be generated.
