How it works

Buy now, pay later (BNPL) and monthly installment loans allow you to make purchases without the need to make the full payment up front. These installment loans allow you to finance a purchase and pay it back in fixed installments over time. You can now make purchases with installments when you check out with Apple Pay online and in apps on your iPhone or iPad and select the pay later option that works for you.* Installment offers are available on supported debit and credit cards from banks and installment providers.

If your card supports installments, you'll see a Pay Later hint below your card when you check out with Apple Pay online and in apps. Some banks and installment providers may require you to complete an application which is subject to eligibility and approval.

How to handle order adjustments, returns, or refunds

When you pay with installments using Apple Pay, you can make changes to your order in the same way that you do for other card purchases you make using Apple Pay.

All installment offers, plans, and loans are provided by the card issuer and are subject to the card issuer's eligibility requirements and approval. For issues or questions about installments, making payments, and managing your installment plan, contact the card issuer.

* All loans are offered by your lending provider and are subject to the lending provider's eligibility requirements and approval, as well as other lending provider terms. Not available in all markets, and may not be available for all types of purchases, such as subscriptions and recurring transactions. May need an eligible card. This feature is only available with Apple Pay online and in apps, on iPhone or iPad. Not available in-store. Software requirements apply. To ensure you have all features of this product, update your device to the latest software version. Depending on your card, to avoid paying off your loan early, you may need to adjust how you pay your card’s bill. For example, your entire loan may be reflected in the statement balance of your card, and thus paying your statement balance (instead of, for example, the minimum payment due or an adjusted balance) would pay off your entire loan early. Contact your card issuer for more details.
