customers throughout Europe. Thanks to Wirecard, Playmobil is able to offer and

to ensure consistency of product offering both online and in-store but also
convenient and flexible payment processes - which we offer via our digital
platform. We look forward to expanding our collaboration in the future."

In order to grow an international e-commerce business and convert one-off
shoppers into regular customers, merchants must provide a smooth and reliable
purchasing process. Thanks to Wirecard, brands such as Playmobil can not only
offer a wide range of digital payment options but also ensure that these
payments are processed quickly and reliably for an optimal online checkout
experience.

When consumers find their way to a merchant's e-commerce site, customer
experience takes a leading role. According to Gartner, 64% of people find the
customer experience to be more important than price when it comes to making a
purchasing decision. As the world's first payment service provider to support
more than 200 different local and global payment solutions, Wirecard put
together a customized payment mix for Playmobil. Thanks to a quick acceptance,
authentication and processing of digital payments, Wirecard reduces payment
friction and ensures a seamless checkout process for Playmobil's online
customers.
