Trustly is launching a new product for online merchants that enables them to offer customers a flexible payment option at checkout with deferred settlement periods up to 30 days, according to a press release on Wednesday (Feb. 16).
Merchants will have the ability to configure the deferred settlement periods to what customers prefer. Shoppers still have the option to pay full at the time of purchase, or they can choose FlexPay by Trustly and delay the payment without incurring any additional fees or hidden charges.
