Adding Splitit installment payments at checkout is easy and seamless no matter which e-commerce platform a merchant is using. Merchants just need to create a Splitit business account and connect a payment gateway to be up and running. It includes options to fine-tune the look and feel of the Splitit checkout experience, easily add upstream messaging about the benefits of Splitit to support the entire customer journey and set up their Splitit business account.

Splitit is unique compared to other buy now, pay later (BNPL) options. The company doesn’t provide point-of-sale financing. Instead, it empowers shoppers to make smarter purchase decisions by tapping into their unused credit on their existing credit cards. It delivers a truly frictionless shopper experience and doesn’t charge additional fees or interest to the consumer. Since there is no application or financing, setting up installments is as simple as two clicks.

Splitit’s average order value (AOV) is over $1,000 – four times higher than most other BNPL services – helping merchants attract and convert higher-value customers. In addition, Splitit is the only truly global installment payment company accepted anywhere in the world where Visa, Mastercard and Discover are accepted. As a result, Splitit enables merchants to offer installments globally, something that has not been possible from a single vendor in the past.
