How does Float work for merchants?
Float is a payment method for your customers (we call them ‘shoppers’). It can be offered via ecommerce checkout, in-store, on an invoice, or even over email/text message.
When a shopper makes a purchase using Float, they get to enjoy it today and pay in interest-free monthly instalments. We take on the risk of collecting repayments from shoppers.
You get to customise your Float offering to suit your business’s needs – how many instalments your shoppers can choose, minimum and maximum order values, and when and how you get paid for your sales processed through Float.
