The reliance on multiple payment gateways created inefficiencies. High transaction fees, coupled with manual processes for both online and offline payments, increased operational costs and strained resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With most customers preferring digital payment methods like UPI and cards for online shopping, ensuring seamless payment experiences, especially during peak seasons, was critical for maintaining customer satisfaction. Any payment failure risked not only losing a sale but also impacting customer trust in the brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, for in-store payments, traditional POS systems required a lot of manual entry, which led to errors and delays, negatively impacting the customer experience. Fragmented payment data across various platforms made reconciliation time-consuming and challenging, limiting GIVA\u2019s ability to track success rates and make informed decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bringing back the sparkle to payments\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Razorpay helped GIVA overcome these challenges with a comprehensive set of solutions tailored to improve efficiency and reduce costs. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Razorpay&#8217;s Optimizer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> enabled GIVA to streamline online payments by dynamically routing transactions to the most cost-effective PG, thus reducing overall transaction fees. Optimizer\u2019s easy integration saved significant time for them, as no additional integrations were required on their app, and provided detailed data insights for payment analysis and reconciliation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Razorpay also streamlined in-store operations with <\/span><b>Razorpay<\/b> <b>POS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which eliminated manual entry, reduced errors, and allowed real-time reconciliation. GIVA achieved substantial savings on every transaction thanks to reduced MDR rates, amounting to approximately \u20b92.1 lakhs in monthly savings. And Razorpay\u2019s dedicated support team resolved customer queries within 24 hours, boosting in-store payment efficiency and driving GIVA\u2019s growth from \u20b962 lakhs to \u20b97 crores in monthly revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Razorpay consolidated payment data into a unified platform, streamlining data reconciliation and saving GIVA valuable time. Recognising UPI\u2019s popularity among its digital-first customers, they leveraged <\/span><b>Razorpay\u2019s UPI Stack<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to enhance both mobile and desktop checkout experiences. The success rate-boosting features of the UPI Stack led to a <\/span><b>4.2%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> uptick in monthly UPI payment success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition, <\/span><b>Razorpay\u2019s Cards Stack<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> played a crucial role in improving GIVA\u2019s payment journey, particularly in the premium segment where customers expect seamless, secure, and reliable payment experiences. With its efficient and frictionless transactions, the Cards Stack boosted success rates by 5.23% over the past four months, driving business growth and enhancing GIVA\u2019s checkout experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To Sum Up\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After having garnered a lot of love from Indian shoppers in less than a decade, GIVA is now expanding into markets overseas. With Razorpay\u2019s reliable and cost-effective payment solutions, the brand is well-equipped to scale its operations, and thereby provide an unmatched experience to its growing customer base worldwide. <\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><a style=\"border-radius: 3px;background: #528FF0;padding: 15px;font-weight: 600;cursor: pointer;text-decoration: none;color: white\" href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/\">Get in Touch<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2019, GIVA redefined the jewellery landscape, bringing a modern twist to an industry long led by legacy players.
