Add Pay Later buttons and messaging, also called Pay Later offers, to your checkout integration. Specific Pay Later offers differ by country. Click on your country for details.

PayPal offers special financing options that payers can use to buy now and pay later, while merchants get paid upfront. Pay Later is included with the standard PayPal Checkout integration. For more information about Pay Later, see Buy now, pay later.

Pay Later in the US includes the following products:

Product Number of Payments Due Purchase Amount
Pay in 4 4 Every 2 weeks $30 to $1,500
Pay Monthly 6, 12, or 24 Monthly $199 to $10,000

Pay Later messaging

Pay Later messaging lets your buyers know they can buy now and pay later if they check out with PayPal. Adding messaging to your website can help improve conversion, attract new customers, and increase order values.

Pay Later messages are dynamic, meaning you can show your customers their specific Pay Later offer based on the contents of their shopping cart.

Example message for Pay Monthly

Add dynamic messaging throughout the shopping journey where customers see prices and subtotals, such as on product pages, the shopping cart, and checkout pages.

Pay Later button

Render the Pay Later button in a one-time payment integration by passing enable-funding=paylater in the PayPal JavaScript SDK. For details, see enable funding.

You can render the payment buttons in a horizontal or vertical layout or as standalone payment buttons.
