Overview
Giving your customers another way to pay for purchases can make shopping easier for them. It can also translate to increased sales for you. BPD websites have the ability to offer interest-free Buy Now, Pay Later options to your customers, such as zipPay / zipMoney & Afterpay. Along the same lines as old fashioned Lay-by, the customer pays for their purchase in instalments over a period of time. The difference with Buy Now, Pay Later is that they get their goods now, rather than waiting until the purchase is paid off.
What's the difference?
While they all operate on a similar principle, there are some differences between the three options.

- Afterpay - version 4.08+
Contact our friendly Support Team for assistance with any of the above.
Zip Prerequisite
Before you configure this feature for your site in the CMS, Zip must set up the webhook URL for you. It should be in the following format:
- ZipPay - https://www.yourwebsite.com.au/api/zipwebhookhandler/zip?mode=pay
- ZipMoney - https://www.yourwebsite.com.au/api/zipwebhookhandler/zip?mode=money
The feature will not work without this webhook.
Configure the settings
Once the feature is enabled, you can configure the settings.
You'll need an account with your chosen payment provider, so be sure to have your account information handy, specifically your Merchant IDs, public and secret keys.
- In the CMS, navigate to Settings → Feature Management.
- Configure the Buy Now, Pay Later feature.
- Use the dropdown menu to select the prodvider you'll be using.

- Disabled - not in use

- Auto-Integrate Pending Orders (zipMoney & Afterpay only) - integrates orders to the ERP prior to receiving a response from the payment provider.
- Display Content in Product Detail - toggle on to show the relevant provider's logo & info on the product detail page, which launches a pop-up explaining the payment option.
- If you're configuring Afterpay, click Save & Exit.
- If you're configuring zipMoney / zipPay, continue to next step.
- Disable Further Checkout Attempts with Provider for an Order if Declined - toggle on / off as required.

About Overrides
You can override any of the feature settings (except event logging) based on the user's role.
For example, you may wish to display the zipPay info content on the Product Detail page for B2C users, but not B2B. In this case, you could set an override.
- Select the 'Overrides' icon next to the setting you want to affect.
- A popup will open, with your current Global setting displayed at the bottom. Click Add Override Setting in the Role Overrides section.
- Enter the role name into the lookup and select the role from the options presented.
- Set the role override value for this setting.
- Repeat steps 2-4 if you wish to override the global behaviour for other roles.
- Click Confirm to close the window.
- Don't forget to click Save on the feature settings page to save changes!
