“As eCommerce has accelerated tremendously, so has the demand for innovative payment options from our merchants and their customers,” said Amit Sagiv, Co-head of Payments at Wix. “By continuing to offer flexible payment methods to our merchants like PayPal Credit and PayPal Pay in 4, we’re helping merchants reach more customers by providing them with more options at checkout and ultimately increasing their conversion.”
PayPal Pay Later solutions offer consumers flexible and predictable payment methods. PayPal Pay in 4 allows consumers to split purchases into 4 interest-free equal payments made every two weeks. Consumers can choose a credit card, debit card, or direct bank withdrawal as a repayment method and will not be charged late fees if a payment is missed. PayPal Credit offers 6 months special financing on purchases of $99+.
Wix businesses can simply add PayPal Pay Later buttons to their product page, cart and at checkout. PayPal Pay in 4 messaging can automatically appear on their product page. If a merchant is already connected with PayPal, the PayPal Pay Later buttons will automatically appear in their store. If a business is not already connected to PayPal, they need to follow three simple steps to offer their consumers another way to pay:
- Go to the Wix dashboard and select “Settings”
- Click Accept Payments
- Connect to PayPal and follow the instructions
PayPal Pay in 3 will be available to Wix businesses in the U.K. and PayPal Pay in 4x to Wix businesses in France in the coming months.
