Splitit helps consumers use their existing credit card to turn purchases into smaller, monthly payments.
The full amount of your purchase is authorized (held) on your credit card to guarantee future payments so you need to have at least that amount in available credit on your card.
The authorization amount reduces with each monthly payment you make until the balance is cleared and we renew these authorizations periodically. The previous authorization is removed as soon as we receive a new one.
Payments are the regualr installments that are charged to your credit card. Authorizations for the full outstanding amount are taken in addition to your regular installments, to guarantee your future payments.
When you buy using Splitit, the retailer takes your first installment straight away, this may be later if your goods are being shipped at a later date. The rest of your monthly installments are automatically taken on the same date as your first one. This date cannot be changed. Monthly installments show as ‘charged’ or ‘posted’ on your account.
In addition to your monthly installment payments, the full outstanding amount is authorized (held) on your card to guarantee future payments. Authorizations are usually renewed every 17-21 days until your plan is paid off. Authorizations get smaller with each installment paid. The previous authorization is released once a new one is obtained. Authorizations show as ‘pending’ or ‘reserved’ on your account. If your plan is kept on track, these authorizations are not charged.

You can check your monthly payments as well as whether a re-authorization is due (when and for how much), in the Splitit shopper portal.
There are some variations to the above, depending on your retailer and the payment processor they use.
