Flexible payments allow customers to select the method and timing of their payments for purchases. They include options like "Buy Now, Pay Later" (BNPL), enabling you to buy items immediately and pay in interest-free installments, to pay off the balance in 30 days, or to spread costs over an extended period. Services such as Klarna facilitate these flexible payments, allowing the option to either make manageable smaller payments or to pay the full amount upfront, depending on your convenience and budget.
Pay in full, Pay in 30 days, and Pay in 4 options are interest-free when you pay on time. If you choose Pay over time or miss a payment, interest or fees may apply. Check the terms of your payment plan to understand what costs you could incur for missing a payment. Use our payment calculator to estimate the cost.
