Who is GolfBays Uk?

Now a leading provider of outdoor and indoor golf enclosure and simulator experiences, GolfBays UK began its journey when Rob, its golf-loving founder, looked for ways to beat the elements.

 

Today, the company’s mainstay products are its superb range of robust, easy-to-assemble, conveniently sized, steel frame canvas enclosures. Its simulator bundles are internationally acclaimed, and in a few short years, GolfBays UK has grown exponentially.

The challenge

As its product range expanded, the business looked at ways to increase conversion rates through point of sale finance.

 

Initially, it partnered with PayPal, but was looking for a provider who could service its higher-ticket items and offer longer repayment options for greater customer choice.

Sales and revenue

PayPal only offered limited credit thresholds up to £2k, meaning credit sales were also limited.

Speed of journey

Other finance providers with higher credit limits had slow and cumbersome application journeys.

Approval rates

Any finance provider who offered higher credit limits also needed to showcase strong approval rates for customers.

The solution

Zopa’s retail finance solution, DivideBuy, offered a comprehensive suite of finance tools. Its interest free and interest bearing credit options from 3-60 months let customers access GolfBay UK’s impressive range of products more affordably.

 

Thanks to a sub-2-minute customer journey and conversion-boosting tools like DivideBuy’s Eligibility Checker, it didn’t take long for the business to see results.
