Buy Now, Pay Later
Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) is a payment method that allows consumers to purchase products and services immediately but with the option to defer payment to a later date or to split the payment into installments. It is an alternative to traditional forms of credit, such as credit cards.
To accept payments via BNPL, the Merchant's MCC (Merchant Category Code) must not be on the prohibited industries list (MCC blacklist). The MCC is determined during the verification process by specifying the store's/industry's category.
Purchase process
The BNPL process typically involves several steps:
- Purchase: The payer selects a product or service and proceeds to checkout.
- Selection of BNPL option: At the payment stage, the payer chooses the Buy Now, Pay Later option.
- Credit check: Depending on the BNPL provider, a quick creditworthiness check may be conducted. This is often a simplified process, not requiring detailed verification as with traditional credit.
- Approval: Once approved by the BNPL provider, the purchase is finalized, and the payer commits to repayment under the agreed terms.
- Repayment: The payer repays the obligation in specified installments or in full after a set period, according to the terms of the agreement.
