How Le Coq overcame payment challenges and drove additional Asian footfall
Le Coq Sportif is a well-established French sportswear brand, long associated with the Tour de France. Traditional payment terminals limited their ability to accept various payment methods in-store, leading to a poor customer payment experience. To overcome this challenge, Le Coq Sportif needed a comprehensive payment solution.
Challenge
Le Coq Sportif in Spain faced a significant challenge in processing payments efficiently and accepting a wider range of payment methods, including digital wallets like Alipay and WeChat Pay. Their traditional payment terminals restricted their ability to offer multiple payment options, leading to a poor customer payment experience.
