Splitit is an interest-free credit card based installment solution that works with a shopper’s existing Visa or Mastercard. With Splitit, consumers can use their existing credit and pay over time by choosing a number of installments, without incurring fees or interest. Splitit shoppers are savvy shoppers, typically between 35-55 with established credit. Because of the seamless experience that Splitit provides, Splitit also helps merchants increase average order value and overcome cart abandonment, which is the number one challenge facing ecommerce retailers.
“End of year purchases can be a time of great stress for consumers, whether it’s buying holiday presents or saving up for big-ticket household items. Splitit is uniquely offering shoppers a responsible way to plan for big purchases, which is needed now more than ever,” said Bobbi Rebell. “I’m delighted to amplify this forward-thinking brand and showcase how this much-needed solution fits in with sound financial planning principles.”
Splitit is available across a range of popular gift categories including home furnishings, home exercise equipment, fine jewelry, luxury fashion and professional services. Splitit is currently used by more than 1,400 e-commerce merchants around the world. A list of some major merchants that offer Splitit can be found here.
