Paying with Payflex
What is Payflex?
Payflex offers the first truly free payment plan in South Africa. Check out with Payflex and choose to pay for your order in either 4 interest-free payments over 6 weeks (25% paid upfront) OR 3 interest-free payments over 3 paydays (33,33% paid upfront). Your goods are shipped immediately, and you incur no additional cost (zero fees, zero interest*).
Payflex is not a credit provider. Payflex provides interest and charge-free payment plans for low-value amounts over 6 weeks or over 3 paydays. This is commonly referred to in the industry as BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) services. If one does not meet the required instalment dates, penalties are incurred, but not in the form of interest.
* Default fees apply if you miss a payment.
