Buy now pay later schemes or (BNPL) have recently taken the e-commerce world by storm. These schemes have in the past been offered as alternatives to bank loans by retailers as part of loyalty or finance schemes that often charge eye watering amounts of interest. However, the new BNPL platforms such as Klarna , Clearpay etc offer a cheaper and much more attractive alternative for your consumer.
The prospect of 'Buy Now, Pay Later' appeals to many younger consumers who can’t wait until pay day, allowing them to easily spread the cost of purchases over a certain number of weeks or months without paying interest. These platforms perform an initial soft credit check that doesn’t affect the customers credit score. With argued impacts such as single-handedly causing the death of credit card, we can be pretty sure that BNPL isn't just another trend- it's here to stay. Many of our eCommerce customers have clued up to this fact, too. Simply scroll below to see how cosmetics brand, AllEven have integrated Clearpay within their checkout.
• Have a luxury product or multiple bundle offers? This financial tool is perfect for tapping into a larger customer demographic who wouldn’t normally be able to afford a high-end product purchase in one swoop.
• Boost your sales. Companies like Klarna claim to increase your online orders by 30%, increase your customer spend by 34% and secure a 80% conversion rate on mobile- a cosmic boost above your competitors!

• Most BNPL providers handle all complaints, refunds and returns. Once an unavoidable, tedious part of running an eCommerce business, companies like Klarna, now allow you to free up spare time while reducing admin costs.
Most BNPL have easy integration with marketplace software such as Shopify, WooCommerce etc. With the below statistics showing that brands having these alternative payment options are often their first choice, can you really afford to be missing out?
