rekha.garton Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Site URL: https://www.rekhagarton.com/learn Hello, I'm trying to figure out the best way so my customers can spread the costs of buying one of my digital products? They are on the pricier side for my target market but I would love to offer the option of spreading the costs over a couple of months rather than them doing one big payment. I have paypal and stripe set up but neither seem to give me the option. I know Klarna is a service but isn't available on SS yet, is there any other one I'm completely missing? Thanks in advance.

paul2009 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Squarespace has been slow to recognise the demand for buy now, pay later services like Klarna, and as you say, it therefore isn't available yet. One workaround is to embed an alternative commerce solution. However, do bear in mind that certain products may be excluded, for example digital products. Update February 2021: Squarespace added Afterpay as an option in the US, Australia and New Zealand. PayPal Pay-in-3 is available in the UK. About me: I've been a SQSP User for 18 yrs. I was invited to join the Circle when it launched in 2016. I have been a Circle Leader since 2017. I don't work for Squarespace. I value honesty, transparency, diversity and good design ♥.

Featured Comment Jo_SQSP Posted February 25, 2021 Featured Comment Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hi @rekha.garton, Afterpay, a similar 'buy now pay later' payment processor, is now available on eligible plans! Learn more about enabling Afterpay with our Help Guide: Accepting Afterpay. Thank you for your patience and feedback! Link to comment
sruss76 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Be aware that digital products are one of several products that Stripe does not allow for the use of Afterpay. I thought I would activate Afterpay on my store and saw a notice that I don't qualify. Digital goods are in Stripe's list of product restrictions for transacting with Afterpay. I sell both digital and tangible products. See https://stripe.com/afterpay-clearpay/legal - item #7 Link to comment
tinamaherart Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi, I tried to enable after pay however it says I may not be eligible. I am not on Stripes list of restricted business type. I am currently on Basic Commerce Plan. What can I do ? I sell physical products which are paintings. Thanks Link to comment

They had my business incorrectly categorized as computer software. They updated it for me via chat. Had to wait a few hours for the change to take affect & now I have the option to toggle on! Finally ! 😁 Best of luck! Link to comment
