our mission at Buybox
Co-creating with the finest brands a more efficient customer acquisition channel
At Buybox, we believe that the gift card is essential for brands looking to have a profitable acquisition and loyalty channel while maintaining complete control over their customer knowledge from start to finish.
The story of Buybox
Buybox is a fintech based in Toulouse (France), founded in 2010.
It originated in social payment, at a time when online group funding and multi-person purchases were emerging, with the idea of re-enchanting payments.
In 2015, faced with the adoption of social payment still in its infancy, Buybox decided to take a strategic turn by focusing on the digital gift card. Straight from the United States, Buybox was convinced that the e-gift card, with its flagship multi-party fundraising feature, could find its market in France.
To give itself every chance, Buybox developed a SaaS solution in plug and play, to facilitate the implementation of a complex project at the beginning.
Just a few months after the release of the solution, Buybox signed its first customers who were part of the leading French e-commerce businesses.
Always looking for new areas of growth, a course dedicated to professionals was launched 3 years later, followed quickly by the launching of new major brands (Galeries Lafayette, Sephora and Leclerc).
Buybox soon expanded across Europe and grew its client portfolio.
And in 2019, Buybox embarked on its multichannel pursuits and created the largest network in Europe with more than 90 distribution partners and resellers ready to distribute brand gift cards.
At the same time, the solutions are adopted by more than 400 brands and the business volume exceeds 500 million euros.
The adventure has only just begun...

As part of developing our CSR policy, Buybox is committed to minimizing our daily waste production and promoting its valorization and recycling. To this end, we have implemented recycling in the company through Easytri, an eco-enterprise based in Toulouse. Easytri handles the installation of waste recovery points in businesses and their subsequent collection, sorting the waste into approved streams. Thanks to this action, we have proudly obtained the Easytri certification.
Our CEO, Aria Ardalan, is also committed to good environmental practices, by joining the Imagine collective and Reforest'Action, which brings together leaders around a common belief: the importance of engaging in the global reforestation project to restore ecosystems and preserve biodiversity by funding various projects: planting, regenerating forests, and preserving biodiversity.
Lastly, in 2021, Buybox received the silver certification from Ecovadis, a global organization that rates companies on CSR performance.
