In times of economic difficulty, consumers might be forced to hold back on their spending. Offering customers the chance to pay for goods or services in more manageable chunks, the buy now pay later model has been growing in popularity in recent years. This is especially the case in e-commerce where buyers are beginning to seek more variety of options when they make online purchases. This increase in consumer demand has meant that attitudes towards the payment model have softened somewhat and many brands now offer the option.

Affirm for Craft Commerce in action: A case study
While sales for this customer were relatively steady, their marketing team had noticed an increased number of abandoned carts along with an increase in lower-value orders. This trend didn’t appear to be seasonal and it didn’t happen around any particular time in the month.
The team carried out a review of a number of competitors who operated e-commerce sites and noticed that increasingly they were offering BNPL options; even the smaller businesses.
They had always been cautious of offering BNPL, questioning the ethics behind it. But with some careful consideration and research into processes, they felt that now was the time to offer this service to their customers. This was not just a way of keeping up with their competitors but a way of improving the service they offer and increasing customer satisfaction.
