PayPal Pay in 3

Yes, you can now use your PayPal account to pay for products you purchase in three smaller chunks!

Just select Pay in 3 with PayPal Pay Later at the checkout and enjoy the power of taking control of your spending. We want you to shop with confidence, so please have a think about your finances before choosing any ‘pay later’ option – you’ll need to make sure you have enough money to pay the amounts each month.

Select ‘PayPal’ as your payment option, log in to your account and, if you’re spending £30 or more, ‘Pay in 3’ will show up as a payment method. After selecting it, you can apply for a PayPal Pay in 3 plan in a few simple steps and complete your purchase. Then, you can keep track of your payments. Your first payment will be charged at the time you finish checking out. After that, your second and third payments will be charged one and two months after the date of purchase, on the same date of the month. For example, make a purchase on 5 May, your second and third payments will be due on 5 June and 5 July after that. Repayments will be made automatically with the payment method used at time of purchase.

If your payment is due on a date which doesn’t exist in that month (for example if you place an order on the 31st and the next month doesn’t have a 31st), then payment will be taken on the last day of that month.

PayPal will send you a reminder by email or text to let you know when your next payment is coming up. You can see your payment schedule or make unscheduled payments at any time by logging into your PayPal account. You’re in control, every step of the way.
