What is PayJustNow Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)?

Introducing PayJustNow Buy Now Pay Later

PayJustNow Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) is one of the many payment methods offered by Payfast to help merchants give customers more flexible ways to pay.

BNPL is a short-term, interest-free payment option that lets shoppers buy goods or services immediately and receive them right away - while spreading their payments over multiple instalments.

For merchants, it’s a win-win. You get paid the full amount upfront, while PayJustNow manages the customer’s repayments and credit risk in the background.

How PayJustNow BNPL Works

Here’s a simple example of how PayJustNow BNPL fits into your payment flow:

Step 1: Shopper selects PayJustNow BNPL at checkout.

Step 2: They are redirected to PayJustNow to log in or sign up.

Step 3: They pay their first instalment immediately based on the instalment plan they select.

Step 4: Payfast settles you (the merchant) the full value, minus transaction fees.

Step 5: The shopper then repays PayJustNow directly in 3 instalments, interest-free.

Even if the buyer fails to complete their repayments, you are not affected because Payflex carries the credit risk.
