Postpay allows customers to seamlessly split their online payments into three equal parts without leaving their online basket. The first instalment is processed immediately, and the customer receives their product as usual. The two remaining instalments are due every month after that. Most importantly, the customer pays nothing more than the amount they were paying for their purchases, that is, no interest and no fees, as long as all repayments are made on time.
