What is Sezzle, and how does it work?
Sezzle provides you with a payment option where you can buy now, and pay later.
When you place an order through Sezzle, our unique approvals system reviews your account to determine what sort of repayment plan we can offer. In most cases, it's 25% of the order total due up-front (also called your "down payment" or "first installment"), with the remaining amount divided up across three more installments, each due two weeks apart. No interest on pay-in-4, no up-front or hidden fees as long as you pay off your installments on time*.
When your order is placed, Sezzle pays the merchant in full for the order immediately—so the merchant has their funds and is able to process your order just like if you had paid them in full with a credit card! This isn't layaway, so the merchant fulfills your order within their normal shipping and processing times.
Our checkout is straightforward - simply shop at a merchant that offers Sezzle, select "Sezzle" at checkout, and we walk you through the rest of the process.

*Sezzle does in some cases charge fees for using a debit or credit card to pay off scheduled installments. You can find more information on convenience fees here.
**Bank accounts cannot be used to create a Sezzle account, nor to place orders, but can be set as default payment methods for further scheduled installments.
