Google Expands Shopping with New Payment Choices

Google announced a big change to Google Shopping today. Customers can now use “buy now, pay later” options when they shop. This means shoppers can split their payments over time instead of paying everything upfront.

The new feature lets users pick installment plans at checkout. Google teamed up with Affirm, a company specializing in flexible payments, to make this happen. Shoppers see the payment plan details clearly before they finish buying.

This move helps people manage bigger purchases. It makes expensive items more affordable by spreading out the cost. People can budget easier with predictable payments. It also gives shoppers another way to pay besides credit cards.

Merchants benefit too. Offering payment plans can attract more customers. It might lead to bigger sales because people feel comfortable spending more. Businesses using Google Shopping should see this option automatically.

Google wants its shopping platform to compete better with others. Adding flexible payments is key to attracting modern shoppers. Many people now expect BNPL choices when they shop online.
