What problem does it solve?
Offering Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) at checkout reduces purchase hesitation and checkout abandonment for mid- to high-ticket orders by letting customers pay in installments, which typically increases average order value (AOV).
Core Features & Use Cases
- Platform integrations: Guidance for enabling Klarna, Afterpay/Clearpay, and Affirm on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or custom/headless stores (including Stripe PaymentIntent-based setups).
- Eligibility & messaging: Best practices to show accurate installment messaging on product pages and only surface BNPL at checkout when order amounts and country codes meet provider rules.
- Operational flow: Provider comparison, setup steps per platform, server-side capture guidance, and common pitfalls to test (eligibility ranges, API credentials, idempotent captures).
- Use Case: Add Klarna/Afterpay for orders in the $100–$3,000 range to boost conversions for categories like apparel, electronics, and furniture.
Quick Start
Enable Klarna or Afterpay via your platform payments settings or include klarna and afterpay_clearpay in your Stripe PaymentIntent and add on-site installment messaging on product pages.
