7 Reasons ChargeAfter Is The Best Consumer Financing Platform

In today’s fast-paced retail environment, ensuring customers have seamless access to  financing choices is critical to boosting sales and building customer loyalty.  The ability to pay for goods over time through financing can be the deciding factor when completing a purchase. This is especially true during this period of inflation when people are more protective of their resources. Even without inflation, consumer demand for financing is likely to continue as credit cards drop in popularity with younger generations. 

One of the consequences of the rise of demand for consumer financing is that it has become impossible for merchants to create and manage an exceptional financing offer in-house. To manage a robust financing offer, retailers require a technology partner to integrate point-of-sale financing into modern customer journeys. This solution is best provided by a platform that can meet the needs of diverse customer profiles while being fast and easy to use for customers and merchants alike. Implementing the right consumer financing platform has become a strategic must for merchants. 

For leading merchants, ChargeAfter is the platform of choice. Here are seven reasons why.

A Seamless Omnichannel Financing Experience

Your customers expect a seamless, omnichannel purchasing experience, especially for big-ticket items. Some customers start their purchasing journey online before heading to a brick-and-mortar store or interacting with a call center. Your financing offer must be embedded into these omnichannel journeys. Your offer must also be flexible enough to meet your and your customer’s needs and not be tied to rigid experiences, such as in-store stands serving a long line of customers.

ChargeAfter enables this with a state-of-the-art customer-facing application. It makes it easy for you to offer different ways to access financing choices at every point of sale. This can include a QR code in-store or online, sending customers a link to apply, promotional links on your eCommerce site, online pre-approval, and in-store devices – whatever works best for you and your customers.

Expansive Network of Lenders

With over 40 lenders embedded into ChargeAfter’s platform, you can easily offer your customers access to diverse financing products that to cater to every consumer, regardless of their financial standing. As a result, your approval rates are likely to increase to up to 85%.
