Starting next year, Google Pay users in the US will gain access to popular “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) services, Klarna and Afterpay, as part of Google’s effort to expand payment options for shoppers.
Klarna will allow Google Pay users to make purchases starting at $35 and pay in interest-free installments. Customers can manage these transactions through the Klarna app, which offers tools to track deliveries, handle returns, and oversee repayment schedules.
Similarly, Block-owned Afterpay will be available for Google Pay users at select merchants, enabling them to divide their online purchases into manageable payments.
Drew Olson, Senior Director at Google Pay, commented:
“By teaming up with pay-over-time providers, we are able to give Google Pay users more payment options when checking out while providing merchants with another tool to drive growth.”
These integrations reflect Google’s commitment to enhancing user choice and supporting merchants with flexible payment solutions that encourage sales.
