Meet our dedicated team that's passionate about CSR and making a social impact and is innovating to make our world a better place.
It all started when Charlie Graham-Brown, Jeremy Grandjean and Benoît Luthy met at the startup weekend Lausanne 2012. After several hours of brainstorming and an impressive pitch, the team won 1st prize and Cherry Checkout was born. Since then, the concept has proven itself and has won over experts from the fields of e-commerce and communications looking to make a social impact. Since then, Cherry Checkout has gone from strength to strength as it continues to grow. Do you feel inspired by our project?

Cherry Checkout's mission is to help raise donations for charity through its simple and innovative concept. As online shopping has exploded over the past few years, Cherry Checkout strives to give online shoppers the opportunity to make a social impact as effortlessly as possible. We also seek to encourage and reward online shoppers who give to charity by holding a prize draw and giving the lucky winners a discount voucher.
Cherry Checkout is committed to providing a fun, responsible and charitable online shopping experience. Who said you can't have your cake and eat it too? Cherry Checkout ensures that everybody involved in its unique initiative does exaclty that! We provide e-commerce businesses with a unique and original solution, we give online shoppers the chance to win a reward for doing a good deed and we help charities to collect donations.
