Payment in instalments
guaranteed or not

CentralPay offers a native non-guaranteed fractional payment solution, and relies on approved partners to provide guaranteed offers (B2C and B2B).

Standard fractionated

This model is based on spreading out an existing debt and automating its collection in several instalments, without recourse to credit.

CentralPay offers a quick and easy-to-deploy solution, controlled directly from the platform. Ideal for B2B sales, service provision or invoice payments requiring flexibility and control.

Fractionated guarantees

Payment is handled by the partner credit institution. You are paid immediately, while the customer repays according to a set schedule (subject to commission).

It's the ideal solution for securing cash receipts for large and small shopping baskets, in both B2C and B2B markets.

Our split payment solution

The CentralPay installment payment solution is designed for merchants who want to split the total amount of a sale and automate payment in several installments at regular intervals.

To determine whether a SEPA or credit card direct debit is more suitable, several factors need to be taken into account:

  • Activity: The average amount of installments drawn, the desired sales path and the habits of your target customers.
  • Location: Depending on the country you are addressing, make sure you choose a method that is adapted to the systems used in those areas.
  • Potential risks: Particular attention must be paid to the limits and expiry dates of the supports.
  • Costs: SDD and credit card direct debit incur different costs, depending on the risks and external charges associated with their use.

In general :

Installment payment offers several advantages:

  • Sales conversion: Paying in one go can make some customers hesitate, especially when the amount is high. With installment payment, you remove this obstacle and simplify decision-making.
  • Reduce the risk of non-payment: In general, a customer will prefer to pay small amounts several times rather than make a single large payment, particularly if they are experiencing financial difficulties.
  • Customer satisfaction: Reduce financial pressure and make payment more comfortable to boost your customers' overall satisfaction.

These two split payment methods have some notable distinctions:

  • Guaranteed installment payment / BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later): Equivalent to consumer credit, it is offered by specialized service providers supervised by a credit institution. It enables consumers, mainly B2C, to pay for their purchases in installments or by deferred payment. The credit institution immediately pays the full amount, deducts its commission from the merchant and then collects the amount from the customer.
  • Non-guaranteed installment payment: Used in B2B and B2C, these are used to divide a payment into several installments, enabling the merchant to automate customer debits on the scheduled dates. Without a credit intermediary, the customer pays no additional commission, but receives the funds as they fall due.
