PayPal Pay Later vs. Afterpay

PayPal Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) is an installment payment solution that lets merchants offer their customers the option to split purchases into smaller payments over time - while the merchant is paid, up front, in full, with no additional risk. It's included within PayPal Checkout with no additional integration and gives shoppers flexible ways to pay, including Pay in 4 (interest-free payments), Pay Monthly (longer-term financing), and other financing options varying by market.
