    Hola to all

    I currently run an Instagram page selling premium branded clothing. Customers are asking to spread the cost over a payment plan.

    What options do i have?
    Anyone know companies offering point of sale finance?
    Anyone know any solutions to spread costs over a period of time?

    If anyone has anything that could help, please feel free to share!

    Thanks for giving it a thought even if you don’t respond

    In NZ we have a system called "AfterPay", I don't know how it works but it's usually that the finance company buys the item and the customer is in debt to them, not you. Expect them to take a healthy chunk of the cost of the item as their commission.

    I wonder why don't your clients use credit cards and credit programs from their own banks? I think that is the option of the bank, not yours as seller.
    But it worth to check amount of such requests of course. Maybe that is better to ignore such requests?

    They probably can't get credit, or they're pulling a scam. Either way, you want to hand them over to a finance company who knows how to handle them best.
