Today we’re launching even greater flexibility at the checkout with new Buy Now, Pay Later options via our Stripe Integration. Plus Google Pay and Apple Pay are joining our growing list of payment options for your customers!
Afterpay (or Clearpay in the UK) and Klarna allow your customers to split their payments into manageable, interest-free installments —making it easier than ever for them to register for the courses they want, when they want, while Google Pay and Apple Pay bring a seamless experience to the checkout, so your customers can complete transactions with just a tap using credentials stored on their device.
This exciting update makes it even easier for your customers to invest in professional learning, driving growth and setting you up for success in 2025.
Buy Now, Pay Later comes to Arlo
BNPL provides instant financing that makes paying for courses more accessible, removing friction and adding another string to your bow to increase course registrations.
Installment-based payments give learners flexibility at the checkout, helping ensure they can access the learning opportunities they need when they need it. Convert more customers, reduce cart abandonment, and provide learners with more payment options to make training more accessible.
Please note that both BNPL options are only available through our Stripe integration, however your business doesn’t need an account with either Afterpay or Klarna — only your customers do.
How does it work?
You receive the full payment amount immediately. Your customers pay a portion of the course fee upfront and settle the remaining balance in three manageable installments, all handled by Afterpay/Klarna.
Here’s the four step process:
- Step 1: When your customer reaches the checkout page, they can select Afterpay or Klarna as their preferred payment method.
- Step 2: Afterpay/Klarna evaluates the customer’s eligibility in real-time, approving the payment plan within seconds
- Step 3: The customer pays a portion of the total course fee upfront during checkout and you receive the full payment
- Step 4: The remaining balance is divided into three equal, interest-free installments, automatically deducted from the customer’s chosen payment method every two weeks, all handled by Afterpay/Klarna
It’s a seamless, efficient process designed to make payments easier for your customers and stress-free for you – a total win-win that improves accessibility and ensures cash flow for your business.
Apple Pay and Google Pay
These popular and trusted payment methods offer convenience and security, allowing customers to complete transactions with just a tap using credentials stored on their device.
Payment details are automatically populated, making the checkout process a breeze. This reduces the time it takes to register and pay for training, providing a best in class experience for your customers.
Both Apple Pay and Google Pay are included on the standard checkout by default so you can sell to more customers than ever before.
