TORONTO, Jun 05, 2019, 05:00 ET – eBay Canada today announced its arrangement with PayBright to introduce the first ever installment payment offering for Canadian eBay customers. Toronto-based PayBright is Canada’s leading provider of installment payment solutions for e-commerce purchases.
Beginning June 5 at 10 am until June 6 at 11:59 pm, PayBright will be offering a 0% APR financing promotion to Canadian shoppers who make purchases on eBay.
“We share a mission with eBay Canada to create an outstanding experience for online shoppers,” said Wayne Pommen, President and CEO of PayBright. “We are excited to offer our fast and easy installment payment solution to more Canadians through this new arrangement, and to add another leading merchant to our platform for existing PayBright users.”
The offering on eBay will initially operate using PayBright’s virtual card solution. Canadian customers shopping eBay can receive an instant approval for a virtual prepaid VISA card to complete their purchase and repay PayBright in bi-weekly or monthly installments.
"We are excited to offer PayBright’s installment payments solution to our Canadian customers, the first-ever service of it’s kind on eBay in Canada,” explained Rob Bigler, COO and Director of Product for eBay Canada & Latin America. “eBay is focused on continually enhancing our shopping experience, and the introduction of this finance solution is just one of the many ways we are bringing more value to the millions of Canadians that shop our marketplace.”
PayBright has partnered with over 4,300 domestic and international merchants, allowing them to offer installment payment plans to their Canadian consumers in a quick and easy experience. E-commerce merchants that partner with PayBright are seeing growth in customer traffic, increases in checkout conversion of 10-25%, and average order values that are as much as 100% higher than orders that do not benefit from financing. Overall, offering installment payments drives significantly higher revenue per visitor.
PayBright was the first integrated installment payment solution for e-commerce sales in Canada, and has been providing installment solutions to customers of Wayfair, Casper, Endy, Peloton, and now eBay. PayBright also offers installment payments in-store, providing a unified omnichannel experience.
PayBright provides consumers with virtual credit accounts they can use to make purchases at participating merchants. Each purchase is paid for with a straightforward, easy-to-understand installment payment plan. Unlike other installment payment options, PayBright does not require consumers to sign up for a credit card, and does not charge hidden fees or punitive interest rates.
