shoezone has introduced American Express as a new payment option for customers shopping online, through its app and across its UK store network.
The affordable footwear retailer said the launch gives shoppers greater flexibility at checkout, allowing customers to use their preferred payment method when buying footwear and accessories.
American Express is now accepted across shoezone’s website and app, as well as its 257 physical stores, creating a more consistent omnichannel shopping experience.
The expanded payment options form part of shoezone’s wider focus on improving customer experience online and in store. The retailer said speed, convenience and flexibility are increasingly influencing purchasing decisions as customer expectations continue to evolve.
Payment Choice Across Channels
The introduction of American Express acceptance may also allow eligible Cardmembers to earn rewards on their spending, including Membership Rewards points, where applicable. American Express said UK Cardmembers spend more than three times more annually and more than twice as frequently, on average, compared with average UK credit and charge card users.
The company also said Millennials and Gen Z are its fastest-growing customer segments.
“We’re pleased to introduce American Express as an additional payment option for shoezone customers both online and in-store. Offering greater flexibility at checkout is another step towards enhancing our customers’ shopping experience, with flexibility and convenience being key.”
A spokesperson for shoezone
“American Express is now accepted for payment at more locations than ever before in the UK, and we’re committed to ensuring our Cardmembers can use their American Express Card at all the places they want to spend. We’re delighted that shoezone can now welcome the spending power of American Express Cardmembers.”
