76% of U.S. citizens say that inflation has changed the way they buy shoes—and that’s especially frustrating when you consider that 68% of them buy those shoes to resolve foot pain. Buy now, pay later shoes can make buying shoes less stressful. Pay a bit to start, then pay the rest over time. In this […]

The average household spends $10,000 on food every single year. Buy now, pay later food aims to make that $10,000 sting a little less by spreading the amount over time. But how do you use it? Where can you use it? And most importantly, should you use it? As a BNPL user myself, I’ve put […]

The average American spends anywhere from $400 to $700 on clothes every year, just on their own personal wardrobes, but honestly, my number is higher… If you have a family? That number shoots up fast. So how do you afford clothes, something you actually need to function in society, when costs are so expensive? Buy […]

The average grocery spend for a single American adult is $350 a month and is quickly climbing. That jumps to well over $1,000 for two adults with children in the mix. It’s a lot to manage, but buy now, pay later groceries are rising in popularity: paying a sort of “down payment” to take them […]

A laptop isn’t just a computer. It’s how you study, apply for jobs, play Stardew Valley (for a perfectly reasonable number of hours), and get that work project done—whether you’re at home in your PJs or hanging with friends at your favorite coffee shop. But dropping anywhere from $300 to $3,000 can break your budget […]

Sometimes, a flight shows up before your budget is ready. A wedding, a work trip, a visit home, or, let’s be real, the vacation of a lifetime, can hit at the worst possible moment for your bank account. Because you’re looking at, on average, $370 or $1,217 for a domestic and international flight, respectively. That’s […]

BNPL has a way of shrinking a price in your head. A purchase feels a lot different when it’s framed as four smaller payments… Especially now. A recent LendingTree survey found 41% of BNPL users paid late on at least one loan in the past year. For something that’s supposed to make paying easier, that’s […]

Sometimes the problem isn’t the purchase — it’s the timing. I’ve had moments where I needed to buy something immediately, but didn’t want to throw it on a credit card and deal with interest later. That’s what made me try Sezzle. After using it for real purchases, I realized it was more than just another […]

30% of Americans fall below the threshold for a good credit score. But a good credit score isn’t really negotiable.

Most buy now, pay later tools sound flexible… Until you actually try to use them. You find something you need, get to checkout, and realize your payment option only works at certain stores or under specific conditions. Frustrating? It’s an understatement. Sezzle Anywhere is a monthly subscription that is supposed to solve that problem by […]

Nearly 1 million Sezzle users are either subscribed to a plan or users of Sezzle’s virtual card. But who actually accepts the Sezzle virtual card—and how does it all work? I’ve found the key isn’t just the store name; it’s whether your purchase request, checkout method, and merchant setup all line up. Let’s talk about […]

Have you ever seen a stunning dress or a new mahjong set (my new obsession), checked the price tag, and thought, “I wish I didn’t have to pay this all at once”? But typically, you only see financing options at checkout online (or, for whatever reason, at a furniture store). Learn how to use Sezzle […]

As of 2026, 1 in 4 Americans use BNPL for everyday purchases. And I’m one of them. Sezzle is my BNPL provider of choice, and it’s great to have a flexible way to manage my cash flow. But when I started, I had a pretty important question: Does Sezzle report to credit bureaus? Here’s how […]

Buy now, pay later is everywhere now. You see it at checkout for clothes, electronics, travel, and even everyday basics.

A new sofa or coffee table sounds fun… until you see the total at checkout. That’s why a lot of people look for ways to spread out the cost instead of paying everything up front.

I’ve had that moment where a flight looks fine at first, and then the total at checkout makes me stop in my virtual tracks. That’s usually when fly now, pay later starts sounding a lot more appealing. If you need to lock in a trip before prices go up again, splitting the cost can seem […]

I’ve definitely had the experience of getting excited over a hotel deal. Just $10 a night? Alright, I’ll bite. Press fast-forward, though, and I would’ve had to pay hundreds of dollars in resort fees and taxes… for a 4-night stay. That’s why buy-now, pay-later hotel stays are rising in popularity. When you’re trying to lock […]

I don’t think anyone plans to finance tires. Here’s what I think happens: You go in for a routine visit, get told you need new tires, and suddenly, you’re looking at a bill you were not ready for. That’s why this topic matters (and if you couldn’t tell, yes, I’m speaking from personal experience). So, […]

Gift cards are supposed to be the easy option… But “easy” doesn’t always mean “cheap.” That’s where buy-now, pay-later gift cards can start to sound appealing. If you’re spending more than you planned, breaking it up can seem like an easy fix. The problem is that gift cards are a weird corner of BNPL. Some […]

I’ve absolutely talked myself into a more expensive TV because the monthly number made it seem more affordable than it actually was. That’s the kind of 20/20 hindsight I want to help you avoid. That said, sometimes a TV is well within your budget, but you want to manage your cash flow by grabbing a […]

I’ll be honest—when I first heard Sezzle was launching a mobile phone plan, I had a moment of, “Wait… like the same Sezzle I use at checkout?” But the more I thought about it, the more it actually made sense. If a company is already built around helping people manage payments and spread out costs, […]

They can make a new phone feel a lot more manageable by breaking the price into smaller payments. But here’s the catch: BNPL providers—and […]

Amazon makes it incredibly easy to shop. That’s kind of the point.

With Amazon’s buy now, pay later […]

I’ve always thought it was a little strange that you can do everything “right” with your money—pay things off, stay on track, avoid interest—and still not see any progress in your credit history. That’s kind of the gap Sezzle Up is trying to fill. If you’re already using buy now, pay later for everyday purchases, […]

The first time I realized I had Sezzle Spend, it wasn’t because I went looking for it. It was because I got an email that basically said, “Free money inside,” from a company I trust. So, obviously, I opened it. It was Sezzle, offering $5 in Sezzle Spend reward money. It obviously wasn’t life-changing—certainly not […]

Let’s be honest, buying something rarely feels like you just used a coupon. It usually feels like, “Well… there goes my money.” So when something inside an app looks like free credit, it’s going to make you pause (and, frankly, it should!). If you’ve used Sezzle before, you probably understand the basics of buy now, […]

I’ll be honest; I’ve been a loyal Sezzle user for a while, and I’ve definitely side-eyed the subscription more than once. I like buy now, pay later. I use Pay in 4. I love spreading payments over six weeks, two per week. But paying a monthly fee just to use Sezzle Anywhere? I hesitated. Until […]

If you’ve already used buy now pay later, you probably understand the basics of splitting a purchase into four payments. But now Sezzle offers Pay in 5—and if you’ve seen it at checkout, you might be wondering what actually changes. At its core, Pay in 5 is just an extended version of Sezzle’s installment model. […]

By now, you’ve probably heard of Sezzle (or at least seen the “Select Sezzle” button sitting there at checkout). And if you’ve paused for a second wondering what Sezzle actually is and whether it’s legit, here’s your answer. Sezzle started as a buy now, pay later platform that lets you split purchases into four interest-free […]

Let’s be real: a lot of BNPL services sound too good to be true. Pay in four, no interest, so you get to stretch every paycheck… where’s the catch? And with Sezzle reporting revenue growth of 67% via their latest quarterly report, it’s natural to wonder: Is Sezzle safe to use? With so many stories […]

The ability to divide payments into a number of interest-free installments is great, but if you can’t use it where you shop, buy now, pay later starts to lose its value pretty fast.

In a world of flexible payments and instant approvals, more shoppers are asking the question: buy now, pay later vs credit card, what’s the better option?
