For Canadian shoppers with buying on the brain, these are times to celebrate. Many have begun to want and expect more flexible, user-friendly payment options when they reach checkout in their favourite retailers' shops, both in-store and online (especially in recent times). This makes sense, as many are looking to cull back on debt and pay in a way that complements their income and their budgeting plans.

What does this really mean? Consumers expect installment payment plans as an option when they shop - and retailers are listening.

There has been a surge in Canadian businesses offering PayBright’s buy now, pay later option to their fans and they, like Endy and Secretlab, are seeing a significant increase in sales, average order value, and repeat business. In fact, PayBright is available at upwards of 8,500 Canadian businesses across all provinces and territories.

Depending on the merchant, customers can enjoy specific types of payment plans that meet their needs, including 'Pay in 4' (interest-free, easy, biweekly payments over the course of six weeks) or 'Pay Monthly' (low- to no-interest payment plans ranging from 6 to 60 months). And whether customers are interested in upping their fashion game; investing in a healthier lifestyle with fitness equipment and e-bikes; or sprucing up the homestead with new mattresses, furniture, or electronics, PayBright’s payment plans are available for all of those needs.*

Curious to know which Canadian retailers have joined PayBright's buy now, pay later movement? Let’s take a look.

This electronics giant offers a wide array of the latest and greatest technologies, ranging from computers, TVs, mobile devices, and home appliances. Those customers interested in coveting the Galaxy 5G can do so by paying in easy monthly payments over 12, 24, or 36 months.

This beauty brand, beloved internationally, went live with Buy Now, Pay Later in Canada only recently. Shoppers can stock up on their favourite cosmetics, accessories, and fragrances today, and pay later in four easy interest-free installments.

The Bay is an institution in Canada, which makes sense given that it's one of our oldest brands! Popular amongst Canadians is its large and evolving stock of fashion, cosmetics, accessories, home goods, and more premium finds. For purchases between $35 and $1500 CAD, shoppers can spread the cost of a purchase over four biweekly purchases, simply by choosing PayBright at checkout on thebay.com.

4. SAIL

Those Canadians invested in bettering their physical and mental wellness by taking on our beautiful landscape can do so with SAIL’s beloved outdoor sporting gear, clothing, and equipment. Paying later for premium tools that help you camp, fish, and conquer the terrain in comfort and style can be easily done in four biweekly payments.

5. Garage and Dynamite Clothing

PayBright recently welcomed Garage Clothing and Dynamite Clothing to its growing list of fashion retailers offering 'Pay in 4' in their e-commerce stores. With no interest or up-front fees, shoppers can shop freely at these beloved Canadian brands online, anywhere, any time.

Those with the golf season top of mind were pleasantly surprised when top golf brand Taylormade began offering pay-later options. Now scratch, professional, and new golfers can pay for clubs, golfballs, accessories, or custom items later, with APR plans ranging from 6 to 24 months.

2020 was the year many Canadians began re-investing in their closets, making new fashion statements, and stocking up on wardrobe basics. Those with trends on the brain have been paying later for SHEIN's on-point clothing and accessories today, using PayBright's easy 'Pay in 4' plan, now available on SHEIN Canada’s e-store.

For easy monthly payments over 3, 12, or 24 months, Canadians can go way out on Wayfair, stocking up on the best deals on accessories and furniture for inside and outside the homefront. Those spending between $100-$15,000 CAD can enjoy the freedom of paying over time when they choose PayBright at checkout on wayfair.ca.

9. Endy

Getting high-tech mattresses in an accessible and affordable way is no longer a dream for many Canadian shoppers. They can sleep soundly now, and pay over time for purchases over $79.99 CAD in equal monthly payments on ca.endy.com. The best part? Every payment is interest-free. (You can read more about Endy’s success with PayBright here!)
