Whether it’s a new sofa, a full-size appliance, or fine jewelry for a special occasion, a high sticker price often makes consumers pause before they buy. However, Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options have matured from niche offerings to key components of the modern checkout experience, driven by demand for greater payment flexibility.

BNPL solutions allow merchants to help customers access the products they need without the financial burden. This can also benefit merchants in the form of increased sales lift, greater shopper frequency, and fewer abandoned carts. That said, providing this flexibility traditionally hasn’t been that simple for merchants. It often involves several technical hurdles that slow time to value.
