The story

Cult Furniture is a UK-founded direct-to-consumer furniture retailer that has scaled from a London showroom into a multi-market European e-commerce operation, layering on a Cult Trade B2B/contract furniture arm. Its embedded finance footprint is squarely that of a Shopify-hosted merchant: Checkout.com handles acquiring, PayPal Pay in 3 provides consumer BNPL, and Shopify provides the underlying commerce platform.
