Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)

A financing option that lets a payer split a purchase into installments, often interest-free, paid to the provider.

Buy now, pay later services (such as Klarna or Afterpay) let a member pay over time while the chapter receives the full amount up front; the provider takes a percentage fee and collects the installments from the member. BNPL gives members budget flexibility for larger dues bills without the chapter having to manage the installments itself.

Dueflow is the free platform treasurers use to collect dues, run budgets, and manage chapter finances.
