MakeMyTrip has partnered with P2P and social payments company Mypoolin to enable group-payments for travel gift cards. This collaboration will help ease the process for consumers who want to shop for shared gift-cards and vouchers on MakeMyTrip for personal or corporate gifting as a group of friends or colleagues.
Commenting on the partnership, Mohit Gupta, COO Online, MakeMyTrip, said, “MakeMyTrip has always been a one stop shop for all things travel and given how more and more people now value travel as the ultimate gift, we want to offer them all the choice they deserve. This partnership with Mypoolin will help our customers make seamless and hassle free group-payments, facilitating ease and convenience in buying travel gift options.”
“Social Commerce’ or more simply ‘Social Payments’ has been a new concept to come up in the last few years. It is the proliferation of ‘shared economy’ lifestyle that makes these social use cases so prominent and common for us. With this functionality, a customer can easily purchase a bigger and better gift for someone’s wedding or reception can simply invite his friends to put in their share of contribution with the click of a button. The idea is that pre-collection of the amount for the gift leads to a higher purchasing power and increase in choices as well as the thought process that goes into the gift,” Rohit Taneja, Co-Founder, Mypoolin, said.
