Many times customers scroll through the website and like a few things they want to order but cannot do so. It’s mostly because the budget doesn’t allow it, or the month ends, and they are short of funds. So, now what will the customer do? He will try to checkout and abandon the cart.
What is the solution to this huge problem? The solution is commonly known as BNPL or Buy Now Pay Later.
The acronym states precisely what it means. Technically, it is a third-party solution that gives a consumer the chance to make purchases in the present day and pay for them later without any hidden charges or penalty/ rate of interest. While this might sound extremely risky for the merchant, BNPL arrangements are becoming increasingly popular amongst online shoppers who use this option for almost everything.
Who likes to wait for things when you can get those things with a click?BNPL offers simple instalment plans and various financial options ranging from a couple of years – depending upon the provider.
This option is interest-free and is for a concise duration which doesn’t even have any additional fees or add-ons. This is mainly like a situation wherein the customers benefit more and receive the product before actually paying. This gives a chance to customers to buy more than they can and is primarily famous amongst younger audiences. Also, a more youthful target audience doesn’t quickly get credit due to lack of sources of income.
While Buy Now Pay Later completely ignores the credit history and uses its algorithm to determine the customer’s credibility. If GenZ or millennials use your brand, this is definitely an option.
According to a report by TOI, “India ranks third on the list of countries making the highest proportion of purchases using the BNPL plan after Indonesia and Mexico. While the country’s BNPL market is currently pegged at $3-3.5 billion, it is estimated to reach the $45-50 billion mark by 2026.”
According to Live Mint, “ It is safe to say the pandemic has propelled the growth of BNPL services in the country owing to the huge increase in online purchases and reduced disposable income. To add to the list of reasons for a BNPL integration, the number of users in the country is expected to rise to 80-100 million customers by 2026 from the current 10-15 million.”
Online purchases are at an all-time high post-pandemic, but the stores that offer BNPL can have a 25% increase in high-value product transactions. For example- if a product costs ₹5000 and your customer gets an option to pay in 5 instalments of ₹1000, he will find that option easier and less burdensome.
The pay later option at checkout helps customers to turn into loyalists and not look any further for better deals. Customers now don’t have to look for alternative brand deals and are likely to increase their time spent on the website.
Customers like the flexibility given to them to deliver a positive purchase experience, which also reduces the number of abandoned carts & increases customer retention.
Higher customer retention leads to an increased conversion rate that will further help optimize the process. Quick and effective implementation of BNPL as a payment option can help develop an edge over competitors.
