Simpler

128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom

Overview

Simpler provides a unified, one-click buying experience and a Checkout as a Service (CaaS) that lets merchants outsource their entire checkout infrastructure. Its CaaS manages checkout flow, payments, shipping, and loyalty within a single, fully integrated payment suite. The platform removes the need for multiple, disjointed integrations, reducing technical complexity and aiming to boost conversion rates. Simpler raised €9 million from new and existing investors to accelerate expansion and product development. The funds will support growth into the UK, Italy, and Spain and drive platform enhancements. The company positions itself to serve businesses of all sizes, from independent retailers to large enterprises, by simplifying the transaction process. Simpler builds a headless checkout solution that decouples the checkout process from merchants and enables one-click purchases via a single "shopping passport." Customers can buy through traditional e-commerce sites or remotely via ads, emails, or QR codes without visiting a merchant’s store. The company positions this as a conversion driver for retailers; early network results show double-digit conversion increases and, in many cases, more than 70% of merchants' orders processed through Simpler. Simpler was founded in 2021, is headquartered in London with offices in Athens, and the team counts 11 people. CEO and co-founder Rania Lamprou says funds are being used to build a strong core team. The company is eyeing rapid expansion into the European market.
