Payl8r Technology Intelligence

What is Payl8r?

Payl8r is a UK-based "Buy Now, Pay Later" (BNPL) provider that offers flexible payment solutions for e-commerce purchases. Unlike some BNPL providers that focus on small purchases, Payl8r specializes in financing larger transactions, typically ranging from £50 to £5,000.

The service allows customers to spread the cost of purchases over 3 to 12 months with interest-bearing plans. Payl8r performs soft credit checks that don't affect credit scores for initial eligibility, followed by full applications for approved customers.

Payl8r is particularly popular with UK retailers selling higher-value items like electronics, furniture, cosmetic treatments, and education services. For merchants, it provides a way to offer financing without becoming a lender, potentially increasing average order values.
