The second-largest luxury department store in France, Printemps, has being the first big European retailer to accept crypto payments. This action sets the venerable department store as a leader in combining modern financial technologies with conventional retail.

By working with Lyzi, a French cryptocurrency payment startup, and Binance Pay, the payment system of the crypto exchange giant Binance, the company reached this mark.

Printemps: Simplifying Payments for a Digital-Savvy Generation 

The introduction of this novel payment system is meant to be both quick and easy for users. Using their Binance app, customers at Printemps scan a QR code at the checkout, choose their preferred cryptocurrency, and verify the payment.

The simplified procedure ensures consumer convenience and safeguards the merchant from market volatility. Lyzi’s platform facilitates this process by instantly converting crypto payments into euros.

This project represents a significant milestone for Printemps and the broader adoption of crypto in France. With more than 6.5 million crypto users nationwide, including such payment methods creates fresh opportunities for client interaction and accessibility.

Printemps’s choice underlines its will to keep ahead of consumer trends and supports its leadership in retail innovation.

Offering crypto payments at 20 French stores, the company emphasizes its flexibility and dedication to satisfy current consumers. For other European stores exploring similar integrations, this action also provides a template.
