Sezzle enables customers to amortize their purchase to their credit card over four interest-free payments with no credit checks. The payment solution is gaining major traction as it provides a sense of affordability, giving customers an incentive to purchase larger ticket items with four smaller payments over a six-week timeline.
"We are pleased to be adopting this progressive payment solution for our Jusu Bar customers," says Penny White, CEO of Better Plant. "We understand that modern consumers prefer more flexible and innovative payment solutions. Our goal is to deliver an incredible experience through all touchpoints of the consumer journey."
As of 2020, Sezzle is the highest-rated Buy Now, Pay Later platform, and has amassed nearly 2 million active customers with more than 16,000 retail partners.
According to CGK National Research Study from April 2020, 69% of millennials say they would try shopping at a new store if it offered installment payment plans.
"Jusu Bar is an ideal brand for us to complete a trial run of Sezzle's platform. The juice cleanses are a bigger ticket item, and splitting payments into four interest-free installments may encourage more first-time consumers to try the product," added White. "Plus, because Sezzle does not impact the customer's credit, and the company still gets paid in full. It is a win-win situation."
Sezzle announced on March 29, 2021 that it was certified as a B Corp. Companies that are B Corp-certified have met specific standards relating to how the company's profits and resources are used to support a public benefit. B Corps are for-profit companies that consider the needs of broader constituents of stakeholders including community, employees, and society. B Corp Certification involves measuring a company's entire social and environmental performance by evaluating how its operations and business model impact the workers, community, environment, and customers.
