Float is a buy now, pay later platform that lets you split purchases over up to 24 interest-free, fee-free monthly instalments using the available limit on your existing Visa or Mastercard credit card, without any application or credit check.
Think of it like an interest-free ‘budget facility’ – you get to enjoy your purchases today, pay for them over time and you don’t take out any extra credit to do so, either.
The benefits of offering Float as a payment option are many, but here are just a few:
- Increase average order values by 134% on average;
- Drastically improve conversions; and
- Grow incremental sales.
As Float is instantly accessible to around 5 million pre-approved credit card holders in South Africa alone, you’re opening your business to a pool of potential shoppers with more purchasing power than ever before.
Float is the most flexible, frictionless, and financially responsible buy now, pay later platform in South Africa. Here are just a few reasons why:
- Frictionless checkouts for your shoppers, with no applications or credit checks.
- No limits on order sizes (Float’s average order is around 10x larger than other buy now pay later platforms), meaning you can sell those big-ticket items with ease.
- Longer and more flexible repayment periods than any other buy now, pay later platforms.
- Customisable for your business – the number of instalments offered, minimum order values and even the settlement terms for your sales made through Float.
- Importantly, Float takes on the risk of collecting repayments and guarantees settlement to you.
Float is a payment method for your customers (we call them ‘shoppers’). It can be offered via ecommerce checkout, in-store, on an invoice, or even over email/text message.
When a shopper makes a purchase using Float, they get to enjoy your goods/services today and pay in interest-free monthly instalments. We take on the risk of collecting repayments from shoppers and settle you either in full or in instalments (you can choose how you’d like to be settled).
