Clearpay is now offering UK retailers access to millions more shoppers. The Australian buy-now-pay-later financier has introduced another cross border trading option for its 6,000+ UK merchant partners, allowing them to offer their products to buyers in the US as the Christmas trading period accelerates.

With Australian, Canadian and New Zealand customers already shopping from Clearpay’s merchants, this addition will mean UK merchants can now reach more than 20 million US shoppers.

The company said the cross-border option allows shoppers to see the total basket amount in their local currency during checkout and know they’ll be charged this amount. They also benefit from the flexibility and convenience of paying in four instalments over time, without incurring interest or currency conversion fees. 

Participating UK merchants can open their store fronts to these shoppers without paying set-up or currency conversion fees, it added. 

Rich Bayer, Clearpay’s UK Country Manager, said: “We’re delivering to our merchant partners new customers who are proven to convert from browsers to buyers at a much higher rate - bringing increased sales, without additional set-up costs or fees.”
