Furniture financing solutions for retailers

For high value purchases such as furniture, it's important that you give your customers the option of splitting the cost into more manageable repayments. 54% of furniture retail customers, when surveyed, said that they would not have gone ahead with their purchase if there had not been the option to buy it on credit.

On top of that, 40% also said that they felt that they spent more because finance was available. If you’re looking to boost your average purchase value, POS finance could be the missing piece of the puzzle.

Offer finance on sofas, beds and everything in between

Whether you operate your furniture business online, in-store or take an omnichannel approach, our retail finance platform seamlessly integrates with your POS or ePOS system so you can be there for your customers however they choose to shop.

Customers use finance to make the cost of big-ticket furniture items more manageable. For many, finding thousands of pounds upfront or waiting months to save just isn’t an option. Paying over a series of monthly instalments might be.

What does retail finance bring to the table?

Attract more customers

Offering finance – particularly 0% interest finance – can be a valuable marketing tool, capturing the attention of both new and existing customers. Reach a new audience and avoid abandoned baskets by giving your customers the confidence to pay their way.

Boost your profits

Retail finance can give customers access to items they might not otherwise be able to afford straightaway, so you can close sales much faster. Drive conversions, increase average order value and boost customer loyalty.

Finance options for furniture retailers

We offer a range of POS finance solutions so you can choose the option that best suits your business and your customers.

Interest free finance

Undoubtedly the most popular option amongst furniture retailers, 0% finance gives you the competitive edge by allowing customers to spread the cost of a purchase at no additional cost.

Interest bearing credit

Allowing customers to pay for their furniture in fixed-rate monthly instalments over a longer term not only helps customers to manage their outgoings, but it can also be a cost-neutral option for retailers.

Buy now pay later

With our fully regulated buy now pay later option, you can give customers the instant gratification of buying their dream item of furniture now and paying for it later.
