Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) is a form of short-term financing that allows consumers to make purchases and pay for them in future installments, often interest-free. Providers like Klarna, Afterpay, and Affirm have made BNPL one of the fastest-growing Alternative Payment Methods (APMs) in the e-commerce sector.
The Shift in Consumer Behavior
Consumers, particularly Gen Z and Millennials, increasingly prefer BNPL over traditional credit cards due to its transparency and predictable payment schedules. For merchants, offering BNPL at checkout is proven to increase average order values and boost conversion rates.
A Strategic Opportunity for Payment Sales Teams
For Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) and payment processors, knowing whether a prospective merchant already supports BNPL is a massive strategic advantage. If a merchant uses legacy checkout flows without BNPL, they are a prime target for an upgraded payment integration.
