Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different payment modes Cashfree Payments offers as a part of Buy Now Pay Later suite?

Cashfree Payments hosts a wide range of alternate payment modes for businesses to increase sales without the need for any upfront payment from customers:

What is the difference between Cardless EMI and Credit card EMI or Debit card EMI?

The credit card EMI or debit card EMI option requires customers to purchase a product from your website based on their credit or debit card validation. Customers are expected to enter their corresponding card details and verify it in order to avail the EMI option.

Cardless EMI, on the other hand, requires only the customer phone number and not the card details. Being a completely digital payment method, customers can purchase a product and pay for it in EMI without the need of a credit or a debit card. Most suitable for high-valued goods like mobile phones, laptops, or furniture.

How are Credit Card EMI and Debit Card EMI options different?

When you use a credit card EMI, you're essentially taking a loan from your card issuer, which decreases your credit limit. The loan is repaid in installments. Typically, all cardholders qualify for this, but the interest depends on the card and EMI duration, unless a zero-interest promotion is in effect.

Debit Card EMI, on the other hand, involves drawing funds from your associated bank account in set installments, thereby directly affecting your account's balance. Qualification for this option may depend on the bank's specific requirements, which often relate to your account history or balance. Interest rates can differ based on these factors as well.

How is Pay Later different from Cardless EMI?

The cardless EMI allows customers without access to credit or debit cards to pay in equal instalments starting from 3 months and make high-value purchases. Cardless EMIs offer higher credit limit up to Rs. 2 Lakhs.

Whereas Pay Later offers the convenience of credit cards to new-age shoppers, where they are assigned a credit limit and can repay in 15-30 days. Pay Later is preferred for low-mid size transactions with a lower credit limit of up to Rs. 60,000 as compared to Cardless EMIs.

Who is eligible for availing BNPL options for their business?

All merchants, except those in the restricted category of business like gaming, jewellery etc, can provide the BNPL options to their customers on their website or app checkout.
