“Mollie has clearly contributed to our improvements”
Benjamin Wu Tiu Yen, Digital Marketing & E-commerce Manager at Pyrenex.
About Pyrenex
For Pyrenex, every stitch tells a story. Founded in 1859 in the French Pyrenees, the brand built its reputation by transforming natural down into high-end outerwear and bedding – a legacy of craftsmanship passed through generations. But as the world moved online, Pyrenex needed a digital experience that matched the premium quality of its products.
To make it happen, they partnered with leading Shopify agency Axome to design a new flagship digital store, choosing Mollie to power their payments. Together, they reimagined the entire customer journey, creating a seamless shopping experience that didn’t just look premium, but performed like it too.
“The goal wasn’t to reinvent ecommerce,” says Benjamin Wu Tiu Yen, Pyrenex’s Digital Director. “We knew we needed to build a platform that matched our premium brand.”

The challenge
While the Pyrenex name stood for luxury, its online store hadn’t kept pace. The checkout process, in particular, felt disconnected from the brand’s elevated feel.
“The payment process opened in a separate pop-up,” explains Benjamin. “It was an experience worthy of the 2000s – a real step back in time.”
This clunky, multi-step checkout created friction, lacked the modern payment methods customers wanted, and harmed the brand experience at the most critical moment – leading to abandoned carts and lost revenue.
The brief was clear: make payments feel native, modern, seamless.

The solution
With Mollie, the payment experience was completely reinvented. The new checkout is fully embedded on-site – no pop-ups, no redirects.
The solution was strategically tailored to Pyrenex’s customer base. “With 70% of our traffic coming from Apple devices, having Apple Pay integrated was a huge advantage,” Benjamin says.
Crucially, Mollie helped Pyrenex to cater to customers in key international markets. “In countries like Germany and the Netherlands, local payment methods represent half of all our orders,” Benjamin explains. “So offering options like Klarna and iDEAL through Mollie wasn’t just a nice-to-have; it was essential for our international growth.”
The integration, handled via Mollie’s official Shopify plugin, was fast and required no development work from the Pyrenex team.
