By Gloria Mathias

Simpl, India’s Checkout Network has announced its plan to onboard 3,000 merchants, including  D2C, from Karnataka on its full-stack Checkout Network within the next 2-3 years.

This announcement was shared during Simpl’s D2C Unlocked Chapter 16 in Bengaluru, a community-driven gathering aimed at founders. This event served as a platform where numerous D2C merchants from the city came together for knowledge sharing and collaborative efforts to enhance brand building and scaling.

This is part of Simpl’s larger vision to accelerate merchant onboarding from across the country to emerge as a true enabler of D2C merchants in the country. Previously, Simpl announced the onboarding of thousands of merchants across the states such as Delhi, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana to be executed over the next few years.

Nitya Sharma, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Simpl, said, “Drawing from our deep understanding of the ever-changing D2C industry, our primary goal is to address complex challenges while providing 1 stop solution to merchants across the nation. Through our AI-led Checkout Network, our aim is to improve conversions, reduce cash-on-delivery transactions, minimise product returns for our merchant partners, and offer millions of customers enhanced trust and convenience.”

“Karnataka, being our home state, has one of the fastest growing D2C bases in the country and we are committed to strengthening the dynamic merchant community in the state through our technological solutions. As we embark on this ambitious expedition, our aim is to empower 3,000 D2C merchants in the next 203 years in Karnataka. This initiative not only elevates the experience for our valued customers but also catalyses growth in the thriving local economy,” added Sharma.

Currently, over 26,000 merchants including enterprise merchants such as Zomato, Zepto, and Zoomcar and D2C merchants such as Snitch, Birkenstock, and Bolt Audio use Simpl’s Checkout options to offer a seamless e-commerce experience to millions of customers across the country.

Simpl envisions creating a frictionless and inclusive digital payment experience for India that empowers and fosters trust between merchants and their customers.
