Buy Now, Pay Later at Booking

For higher-priced services, requiring the full amount up front can be the difference between a customer completing a booking or abandoning it. Vendi Today supports buy-now-pay-later financing options at checkout, letting customers split the cost of a booking into installments through a third-party financing provider.

How it works at checkout

When enabled and supported by your connected payment processor, customers see a financing option alongside your regular payment methods during the booking and payment step. Choosing it hands the customer off to the financing provider's own approval and payment-plan flow; once approved, your business is paid the full amount up front while the customer repays the financing provider over time.

Why offer it

Financing options tend to increase completed bookings for services with a meaningful price tag — think larger consultations, packages, or bundled services — because they lower the amount a customer has to commit on the spot. You still get paid in full immediately; the installment relationship is between the customer and the financing provider, not you.

Setting it up

Financing options are configured alongside your other payment settings for a calendar, and availability depends on your connected payment processor supporting them. Not every processor offers this, so check your processor's settings if you don't see the option appear at checkout.

Good to know: Financing works best when it's visible before a customer gets to the final payment step — make sure your booking page clearly mentions the option is available so price-sensitive customers don't abandon the booking before ever seeing it.
