Integration with your furniture business’ ecosystem
In order to truly drive growth and value for your business, BNPL shouldn’t be an afterthought or an add-on, but a platform that you can integrate within the flow of your business.
Splitit offers a white-label solution, which means buy now, pay later can become a seamless part of your brand. This means you can maintain a smooth and frictionless checkout experience, and your customers will connect the value of a flexible payment solution directly with your brand.

Get data-driven insights and analytics with BNPL
As well as providing your customers with a flexible payment option, BNPL can provide you with valuable insight about customer behaviour.
With Splitit, you’ll gain reports that reveal how your customers interact with BNPL, so you can see who is more likely to convert with a BNPL payment solution and how it affects decision making throughout the sales journey.
From there, you can develop a strategy for the best way to target customers and identify key moments to present BNPL as an option. Testing, iterating, and monitoring BNPL within your business flow will help you develop ways to successfully position it within your existing payment landscape.

Security and compliance within the BNPL landscape
Data and security are one of the most important things to consider when choosing a BNPL provider. As well as ensuring that business and customer information is secure and protected against fraud, it’s important to understand how BNPL companies use your data and your customer’s data outside of the payment flow.
With Splitit, your data is your data – we don’t harvest consumer data or sell it to third-party providers. This means that you retain your customer insights and don’t have to worry about your valuable information being passed onto competitors.
We also uphold the highest security standards for security, fraud prevention, and data protection. While legacy BNPL companies are facing regulatory changes that will likely have a huge impact on the way they interact with customers, Splitit works with customers’ existing credit cards, which means we are compliant with credit bureau regulations and adhere to responsible lending practices.
