What is Sezzle?
Sezzle is a “Buy now, pay later” (BNPL) payment provider for customers in the USA. Your customers can complete their order immediately, but pay the invoice at a later time. For you as a vendor, the payment is still securely processed via Digistore24 - the payment provider assumes the risk of default.
At its core, Sezzle works like a modern purchase on invoice: The customer orders on invoice at checkout, receives their goods or services, and settles the invoice within the agreed payment term. This is attractive for many customers because it helps them plan their liquidity and cash flow more effectively.
Important: Sezzle is only available for certain resellers, countries and currencies. You can find out which customers see Sezzle in the checkout in the section For which customers is Sezzle shown as a payment method during checkout?
Can I activate Sezzle as a payment method for my customers?
You can activate Sezzle as a payment method for products you sell through the US reseller Digistore24 Inc.
Which reseller am I selling through?

For which customers is Sezzle shown as a payment method during checkout?
If you have activated Sezzle as a payment method, whether Sezzle is shown at checkout depends on two factors:

- from which country of origin the customer is ordering

*) How is the customer's country of origin determined?

What payment options does Sezzle offer?
Sezzle offers the option for one-time payments - recurring payments (subscriptions or installments) are not supported. Trial periods are not possible.
Customers pay with Sezzle based on the principle of Buy now, pay later:
They complete the purchase immediately, receive the goods or service, and settle the invoice later - within a defined payment term. For your customers, this means more flexibility, while you as a vendor do not take on any additional risks, as the payment is secured by the BNPL provider.
Do I incur additional fees when customers pay with Sezzle?
No, beyond the usual margin, there are no additional fees for you as a vendor if your customers pay with Sezzle.
Can additional sales also be paid for with Sezzle?
Yes, if your customer meets the requirements for Sezzle, they can pay add-ons and order-bumps with Sezzle. Upsells are not recommended.
