Creating a Buy Now Pay Later Payment Form

WP Simple Pay supports two payment options for accepting purchase now, pay later payments: Klarna and Afterpay/Clearpay.

The decision between the two techniques is based on your location and which approach is most suited to the things you’re selling. Because Klarna and Afterpay only function in particular areas and only enable you to sell certain things, this is the case.

Creating a Klarna Buy Now Pay Later Payment Form

Customers may buy now and pay later in four different ways with Klarna. They have the option of paying in three or four interest-free instalments, paying later after 14, 21, or 30 days, paying the entire amount instantly using a credit card, or getting financing and spreading the complete price over several months.
