Online payments have grown tremendously in SEA as more businesses start to increase their online presence. In countries like Indonesia and the Philippines with low credit card penetration (2-3% of population), virtual accounts/ cash on delivery/ eWallets are still the pre-dominant payment methods. However, these methods are still cash based and require customers to have full value upfront to complete their purchases.
To solve that, buy now, pay later providers have emerged to give customers more flexible payment options. Buy now, pay later payment option helps merchants gain access to a bigger customer base by breaking down the barrier of high payment quantum to digestible installment repayments.
Xendit helps merchants get access to buy now, pay later providers quickly and reliably. Better still, Xendit PayLater product suite has now expanded to include Akulaku! With one integration, merchants can now get access to 2 of the most popular buy now, pay later payment method in Indonesia.
Enabling the buy now, pay later payment option helps our merchants gain access to a bigger customer base as it helps to break down the barrier of high payment quantum to digestible installment repayments. Merchants will not have to worry about repayments as they will get the entire payment amount upfront (our buy now, pay later partner will handle that with the customer). With these, merchant can potentially sell more and be confident that they will get their payments.
