Financing options for customers

I use Weebly, and am wanting to know if there are any other financing options available to the customer, other than AfterPay. AfterPay only offers one 4 installment option. I need to find something that will work with my Square/Weebly website, but offer financing for $5000+ items, with a minimum 12 month payment option.

Hi @NorthTexasBikes.  There are no other options through Square.  Also, an admittedly quick search of the Square App Marketplace didn’t yield any results, which is not too surprising, actually.

 

Other than that, your best bet might be through your accounting software.  While I have no examples to point you to, there might be one that offers this (for a fee, of course) and that also integrates with Square to give you a complete solution.  But that would require some research.  Again, I did some Google searching but that didn’t yield much in the way of results.  Even big names like Quickbooks only give you guidelines and what to look for when contracting with third-party financing firms.  Usually businesses that want to do more than offer short-term BNPL financing do so with in-house financing, which is not something most of us can afford to tie money up in or spend a lot of time managing because of credit checks, bad debt handling, etc.

 

I’d recommend talking to your accounting professional, or to a local business group/alliance.  They might know of options available to you, but I wouldn’t guarantee that any of them integrate with any POS, Square or otherwise.  

 

Sorry not to be more helpful.
