A Partial.ly Case Study
Jiminy Eco Toys, founded by Sharon Kiely, makes locally produced, mostly plastic-free children's toys and sells to about 45 shops across Ireland and the UK plus direct-to-consumer via jiminy.ie. The company’s challenge was making higher-priced, long-lasting eco products (like wooden balance boards costing over €100) accessible to budget-conscious shoppers, especially amid COVID disruptions to retail. To address this, Jiminy Eco Toys integrated Partial.ly’s payment-plan service into their site.
Partial.ly’s solution lets customers split purchases over 6–8 months, which Jiminy Eco Toys says has helped people buy higher-priced items they otherwise wouldn’t—almost exclusively their balance boards—and led to increased sales and positive customer feedback (including a testimonial thanking them for the payment option). Partial.ly also handles collections and is simple to install, making Jiminy Eco Toys’ offering more inclusive and easier for customers to afford.
