How Powersheds unlocked express checkout and 88% web revenue growth

Partner:Agency
Adoption of Apple Pay and Google Pay
Powersheds isn’t your average garden building retailer. They specialise in high-quality, modular wooden structures sold both direct-to-consumer and through marketplace giants like Wickes and Wayfair.
However, as they migrated to Shopify to support their rapid scaling, they hit a significant roadblock: inflexible payment systems and high transaction fees that threatened their margins and compromised their premium customer experience. To navigate this, Powersheds turned to their digital agency partner, Say Yes, to find a solution that wouldn’t just cut costs, but fuel growth.
Say Yes specifically recommended Mollie for its flexibility with complex Shopify setups and custom checkout flows - where standard payment providers may force a trade-off between express payments and bespoke delivery logic.
About Powersheds
Based in the UK, Powersheds is the country’s most awarded garden building brand. Their products range from simple sheds to premium log cabins, sold both directly to consumers and through major retailers.
Currently exceeding £17 million in turnover, the brand has ambitious plans to double that figure to £34 million by 2031. With a reputation for excellence in heavy-goods logistics, Powersheds is now expanding its footprint across Europe, entering the Netherlands and Italy.

The Challenge
For Powersheds, the checkout is more than just a payment gate. It’s a logistics hub that plays a crucial role in organising deliveries.
When you’re selling a log cabin, you can’t just drop it on a driveway and hope for the best; customers need to be at home. To manage this, Powersheds used a custom-built app to handle nominated delivery dates.
But their previous setup created a friction point:
Missing delivery information: If they enabled digital wallets, the express ‘pay now’ button would skip the delivery date selector.
High ecosystem fees: Staying within the standard Shopify payment ecosystem was becoming unsustainable for them as they exceeded £17 million in turnover.
Disjointed user experience: As a headless, high-end site, they needed a checkout that felt like a natural extension of their brand, not a generic redirect.
This is where Mollie’s branded checkout page came into play. The redirected payment page provided a seamless, customer-friendly experience that integrates delivery scheduling without sacrificing payment flexibility or their premium brand feel.
“We originally didn’t want to move to another provider and risk checkout conversion, but we had to make the fees sustainable. They were just too high. Luckily Mollie was able to offer a cost-saving option that didn’t impact conversion at all.”

The Solution
Powersheds needed a partner that understood custom-built front ends and complex Shopify setups. So in April 2025, Powersheds, Say Yes, and Mollie collaborated to build a bulletproof solution using a custom-branded checkout on Shopify.
The implementation was fast. From account creation to approval, the process took less than 24 hours. And the actual technical integration? Just 30 minutes.
We worked with Say Yes to use Mollie’s redirected checkout. This allowed Powersheds to gate express options. Now, Apple Pay and Google Pay only appear after the customer selects their delivery date. This preserved the logistics flow while finally giving customers the double-click payment ease they expected.
“Mollie’s integration within the Shopify checkout is much stronger than other third parties I’ve worked with in the past. There's nothing worse than navigating a beautifully built site and then being handed off to a checkout that feels disjointed. Mollie feels like a natural extension of the site.”
Phil Clark, Founder of Say Yes
The results
By removing checkout friction and reclaiming margins previously lost to fees, Mollie provided the capital and conversion stability to fuel Powersheds’ 88% website revenue surge.*
Twelve months since going live, the partnership has delivered what Powersheds describes as a huge net positive. By implementing a tailored redirect solution, they successfully unlocked Apple Pay and Google Pay, which now account for 6% of total payments*, without bypassing critical delivery scheduling.
Unlocking this new phase of growth happened at speed and with measurable impact:
Onboarded in less than 24 hours.
Integrated in less than 30 minutes.
6% of payments enabled through Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Conversion remained stable even after introducing the redirected checkout page.
“Getting the fees down was the main goal, but the cost savings combined with steady conversion rates have been a huge net positive. We’re now capturing sales through Apple Pay and Google Pay that we might not have secured otherwise. ”
Nicole Owen, Head of Finance, Powersheds.
A partnership built for the future
For Say Yes, the agency driving Powersheds’ digital strategy, Mollie has become a reliable tool for agency growth and client retention.
By cutting integration time to just 30 minutes, Mollie allowed the Say Yes team to focus on high-level growth strategy instead of troubleshooting API roadblocks.
“The Mollie team took the time to understand the tech stack and the importance of an on-brand solution. The tool works well, the team is highly supportive, and the financial benefits for our merchants are an added bonus” says Phil Clark, Founder of Say Yes.
With a solid payment infrastructure and 24/7 human-led support, Powersheds is planning to double turnover from over £17 million to £34 million by 2031.
As they expand into the Netherlands and Italy, Mollie remains a key strategic partner, providing the local payment methods and market expertise needed to ensure Powersheds’ premium experience translates seamlessly across borders.
