PayPal has a ‘Buy now, pay later’ scheme

 

With more people buying online, the financial firm PayPal has introduced a new scheme to help consumers during this difficult time. It has developed a Buy now, pay later program. This allows shoppers to pay for their purchases in 3 instalments.

Called ‘Pay in 3’, it gives customers the opportunity to buy products worth between £45 and £2,000 and to settle their bills in three parts. The best thing is that the repayments are interest-free, so you do not have to worry about paying more. Moreover, each month, the process is done in a seamless and automatic way, that is, the money will be deducted from their PayPal account. Pay in 3 will appear on their digital wallet. As such, they will be able to manage their settlements online or via the app.

While this option will go live later during the month, several retailers have already signed up for it. Some of them are Crew Clothing, French Connection, Robert Dyas and Ryman. This UK rollout follows the release of another similar product in the US, PayPal’s ‘Pay in 4’.

Rob Harper, the firm’s UK director of enterprise accounts advanced, “During the coronavirus pandemic, we have seen the number of people in the UK shopping online increase dramatically. At the same time, many more consumers are looking to spread the cost of those purchases”. Thus, PayPal developed this solution to help buyers.
