In a competitive retail environment and with increasing international tourist traffic, merchants have every reason to capitalize on one major advantage: tax-free shopping. Often overlooked due to its administrative complexity, tax refund can in fact become a powerful lever for conversion and basket size growth. That’s exactly where SkipTax makes the difference.
Tax refunds: an underused business driver
Non-EU travelers are entitled to reclaim VAT on purchases made in France. Yet many merchants miss out on this opportunity. Why? Because the traditional tax refund process is slow, cumbersome, and frustrating—for both the store and the customer.
The result: lost sales, stagnant average spend, and a customer experience that falls short.
SkipTax: streamline, attract, sell more
SkipTax revolutionizes the tax refund experience with a 100% digital, fast, and user-friendly solution. In just a few taps on the SkipTax app, tourists can request their refund—no paperwork, no hassle. For the merchant, integration is simple and seamless within the purchasing journey.
The commercial benefits for your bottom line:
- Higher conversion rates from tourists: a visitor who knows they’ll get back 12% to 20% of their purchases is far more likely to buy—immediately.
- Increased basket size: the prospect of a refund encourages customers to spend up to 30% more on average.
- Stronger foreign customer loyalty: a smooth, modern tax-free experience makes your store more memorable and recommendable.
- Zero admin burden: SkipTax manages the entire refund process. You stay focused on selling.
- A modern brand image: by adopting a sleek digital solution, you align your store with the expectations of today’s connected travelers.
