Pay Later messaging lets your buyers know they can buy now and pay later if they check out with PayPal. Adding messaging to your website can help improve conversion, attract new customers, and increase order values. Pay Later messages are dynamic, enabling you to show your customers their specific Pay Later offer, based on the contents of their shopping cart.

By default, the following Pay Later messaging locations are available:

  • Single product page
  • Cart
  • Checkout
  • Home
  • Shop (includes Search and Product Categories pages)

The messaging can be configured to match your website style with the settings available in the new Pay Later messaging configurator:

The Pay Later messaging and configurator languages depend on the primary country of the PayPal merchant account.

More details about the requirements and benefits of adding Pay Later messaging to your site can be found in theĀ Pay Later section.
