What is “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL)?

The “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) program on Gpog allows buyers to purchase products and services immediately but pay for them in easy monthly installments over time. This option is powered by our trusted partner, Klump, and is supported in collaboration with several Nigerian banks. By selecting the BNPL option during checkout, buyers can split the cost of their purchase into manageable monthly payments, without the need for an upfront full payment.

How It Works:

1. Browse and Choose Products/Services: Buyers explore the Marketplace on Gpog and select the products or services they wish to purchase.
2. Select BNPL at Checkout: At the payment stage, the buyer selects the ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ payment option.
3. Approval Process: The buyer’s eligibility is quickly assessed via Klump and the partnered banks, with a fast approval process.
4. Payment Plan: Once approved, the buyer can choose the payment plan that best suits their budget, typically broken into monthly installments.
5. Enjoy Your Purchase: The buyer gets immediate access to their product or service, even though they haven’t paid in full yet.
6. Repay in Installments: Over the chosen period, the buyer makes monthly payments as agreed upon during the approval process.

Benefits to Buyers:

1. Immediate Access to Products and Services: Buyers can get what they need right away, even if they can’t afford to pay the full price upfront.
2. Flexible Payment Plans: With easy-to-manage installment options, buyers can choose a payment schedule that aligns with their budget, making larger purchases more accessible.
3. Zero Interest (Subject to Terms): Depending on the terms agreed with Klump and the partnered banks, buyers may benefit from interest-free installments for a specified period, saving money in the long run.
4. Improved Cash Flow: The ability to split payments into smaller amounts helps buyers manage their finances better, avoiding large one-time payments that could strain their budget.
5. Quick and Easy Approval Process: The approval process is fast, simple, and done online, meaning buyers can quickly determine if they qualify and begin enjoying their purchases immediately.
6. Build Credit: Responsible use of BNPL may help buyers build their credit scores over time, especially if payments are made on time.

Benefits to Sellers:

1. Increased Sales: By offering a flexible payment option, sellers can attract more buyers who may be hesitant to commit to large payments upfront. This can lead to higher conversion rates and increased sales.
2. Wider Customer Base: The BNPL option appeals to a broader audience, including customers who might not have the immediate funds but can manage monthly payments, thus expanding the potential customer base.
3. No Risk of Non-Payment: Since Klump and the partner banks handle the financing and risk management, sellers receive full payment upfront, eliminating concerns about delayed or missed payments.
4. Improved Customer Loyalty: Providing flexible payment options creates a positive customer experience, leading to greater customer satisfaction and potential repeat business.
5. Competitive Edge: Offering BNPL positions sellers as flexible, customer-centric businesses, giving them an edge over competitors who only accept full upfront payments.
