Ordering Process 🛒

  1. Employee selects their multimedia via the corresponding benefit.

  2. The employee is redirected to Payflip, where they can view a simulation of the benefit.

  3. Employee confirms their choice via the Payflip shopping cart.

  4. Upon approval, Payflip automatically places the order with Coolblue.

Financial Aspects 💰

  • The employer pays for the devices directly to Coolblue.

  • Costs are deducted from the employee's Payflip budget.

  • VAT is not deductible, but corporate tax is.

  • For a Smartwatch, a one-time "benefit in kind" is charged at 50% of the actual cost of the benefit.

  • For these main devices, a monthly "benefit in kind" is charged:

    • Laptop: €6/month

    • Smartphone: €3/month

    • Tablet: €3/month

Important Notes ⚠️

  • Promotions that offer an extra gift on top of the original product (such as a free Samsung accessory or item with the purchase of a Samsung product) are not possible.

  • Second-hand/second-chance items are not allowed and will create an error message.

  • If an order needs to be canceled after approval, you must contact Coolblue directly.

  • If a product is not in stock upon approval, it will be placed back in the Payflip shopping cart.

  • It is not possible to take out an insurance policy through the cafeteria plan.

  • In case of theft, replacement accessories are unlimited, but replacement of main devices requires HR approval. Your HR admin will contact Payflip directly via the chat function in the tool.
