Splitit adds flexibility in store

Splitit (ASX: SPT), the company that allows shoppers to use their credit cards to pay in installments, today announced that it is bringing its installment payments to in-store outlets around the world. Splitit InStore also includes Apple Pay and Google Pay to provide an effortless in-store payment experience.
Splitit InStore was designed to meet the needs of retail sellers to deliver a better customer experience at a time when retailers are also considering how to optimize their omnichannel strategy. Splitit InStore offers a payout option that the retail associate can offer to buyers when they are making high value purchases, such as home furnishings, jewelry, luxury goods, and sporting goods. Splitit InStore also allows buyers to use ApplePay and GooglePay accounts through Splitit, using link payment with a Splitit QR code, SMS or email, when shopping from participating merchants.
The added flexibility to pay over time helps mitigate the perceived risk of large expenses and helps consumers buy the products they want. Splitit InStore also extends to telephone orders providing additional capabilities to merchants.
The company also announced that several new top brands have committed to using Splitit InStore. These brands include La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, Gem Shopping Network â¢, PROCAM, Fabergé, KEF and Aftershock PC Australia. Merchants interested in adding Splitit InStore to their points of sale can register on the waiting list at www.SplitIt.com/InStore.
âOnline shopping has transformed the way we shop for furniture. But consumers still want to see, smell and experience our furniture firsthand, âsaid David Hilst, owner of five La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries in Illinois and Indiana. âSplitit offers a seamless in-store experience. We can meet the buyer in the store and offer a payout option instantly – it’s the best online experience in an offline environment. You don’t get that with other financing options.
The service is accessible on any connected device. It can be offered at the time of purchase without any request or registration being required by the purchaser. And because Splitit uses the consumer’s available credit on a credit card, approval rates are in line with credit card industry averages of 85% or more.[1]. No bureaucracy and low rejection rates mean more closed sales and less verification time. installment plans can last anywhere from six to 24 months, and Splitit never charges consumers any fees or interest. It is a victory for traders, salespeople and customers.
âRetailers are starting to see a steady increase in in-store traffic as we slowly recover from the pandemic. As a result, providing an in-store solution was the number one demand for Splitit customers, ânotes Splitit CEO Brad Paterson. âSplitit InStore answers this call and is only one way for us to continue to innovate to match this permanent change in the habits and preferences of buyers. As well as expanding our addressable market by accessing retailers with a physical store presence, this also opens up Splitit to exciting new categories. “
Splitit InStore benefits other industries including auto repair, healthcare, home repair and improvement, and others without a flexible system to provide customers with installment payments.
