Web Shop Payment Solution GoSEPP Makes it Easier to Afford Items

— June 25, 2017 — Business
This startup enables web shop payment installments that will work for any ecommerce site. Based in Austria, GoSEPP is a new venture that aims to offer financial freedom by offering flexible payments everywhere. They enable "partial payment for any purchase, in every online store." Even if that store doesn't offer monthly payment programs or something similar, GoSEPP makes it happen with a chat-based model.

This makes the products you want more affordable, and also allows you to receive it before your first installment is even due. The financing platform makes it easier to acquire things that cost 30 euros or 3000 euros as needed, and in a transparent and quick manner. By acting as the middleman, the web shop payment system purchases the product on customer request and then sells them back to the customer at a monthly rate.
