Buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services have gained traction as they provide consumers with flexible financing, leading to increased spending in online stores. However, merchants face considerable transaction fees of up to 8% when utilizing BNPL, far exceeding standard credit card fees. Merchants must weigh the potential increase in sales against these costs. The situation echoes the earlier concerns regarding free shipping, which merchants adapted to by changing price strategies and improving logistics. Ultimately, BNPL may enhance profits if properly managed, as evidenced by potential revenue growth from its implementation.
