Enable Pay Later messaging on Freewebstore

Promote PayPal Pay Later offers using messaging and buttons on your Freewebstore store.

PayPal offers short-term, interest-free payments and other special financing options that buyers can use to buy now and pay later. You get paid upfront at no additional cost unless you are in the US.

Pay Later messaging includes the following Pay Later offers which are available to US customers only:

• Pay in 4 - Eligible US buyers can pay in four interest-free payments for purchases of $30 to $1,500.
• Pay Monthly - Eligible US buyers can pay in 6, 12, or 24 monthly installments for purchases of $199 to $10,000.

Know before you begin

• Before you begin, learn more about Pay Later offers.
• Before you enable Pay Later messaging, learn more about PayPal for Freewebstore.

• US-based consumers are eligible for Pay Later offers across most of our integrations. As a merchant, you're eligible to promote Pay Later offers if you are based in the US with a US-facing website and a one-time payment integration. Promoting Pay Later offers is not available if you're using vaulted payments or subscriptions.
