For stores or retail networks with specific needs, SolPay designs personalized solutions.
Integration, multi-store organization, specific workflows — the solution adapts to your model, not the other way around.

Operational Relief for Jewelry Retailers

Standard tax-free with PABLO-I is available — but the entire operational burden falls on you. Generating tax-free form, tracking unvalidated or disputed files, and managing tax liability directly.
The result: valuable sales staff time absorbed by administrative tasks and significant operational pressure, especially on high-value transactions.

With SolPay, the logic shifts: you sell, we manage the tax-free process. Fewer errors, fewer rejected tax-free form — and real relief for your teams, who no longer have to handle this complex and risky part of the process.

And because the customer experience doesn’t end at the point of sale, our France-based customer support takes over after the tax-free form is issued to answer any questions.
