Micro credits is not a new concept. Whether it be the world of online or offline shopping buyers have loved the idea to shop on credit ( buy now pay later). Ever since the advent of credit cards, online shopping became easier and trouble-free. The hassle-free shopping that involves not making payments at the very instant was loved by many and gradually began increasing in popularity.

 

In the initial phases, of course, people were skeptical about using credit cards as a payment option but the sheer convenience of it made it the new normal in practically no time.

 

Shopping today is all about the entire experience of it and what could be better than having to not pay then and there. Pay Later options tend to encourage impulsive buyers to shop guilt-free.

 

With advancement in the field of ecommerce the concept of ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ has taken a new face. Cardless pay later options have been introduced by several online marketplaces. The latest to join the bandwagon has been Flipkart.

 

The ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ feature of Flipkart is similar to paying through credit card in many ways with certain differences. The ecommerce giant is now allowing customers to buy products without paying for them immediately. The amount is billed by the 10th of every month.

 

The concept has already been put to practice by several marketplaces and payment wallets. Hence it is tried and tested to simulate conversions.

 

The pay later convenience has been a long time favourite of the impulsive fashion shoppers mostly.

 

What is the ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ concept and how does it work?

 

The Buy Now Pay Later method is quite similar to credit card payments considering the fact that here too the seller of the product or service does not get paid immediately. The outstanding payments are settled at a later time.

During purchase, if the customer opts for this payment option his details (such as email and other contact information) minus the credit card details are requested and the outstanding amount is billed in the upcoming month.

 

Who gets to avail this payment option?

 

Unlike all other payment methods the ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ one can not be used by everyone. Unless you have ordered a lot of products from the marketplace with fewer cancellations or you have a great credit history you may not have access to avail this mode of payment.

 

This is done to avoid fraudulent practices from taking place that may end up in losses for the sellers. Credit scores showcase the credibility of the customer hence it is a trusted way to decide if the buyer is allowed to pay later or not.

 

Perks of ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ mode of payment

 

1-The ‘Pay Later’ concept has been proven to drive increased conversions credits to the facility to pay at a later time.
