It would be interesting to know from those who are early on in the development channel whether this "feature" is actually still present. Anyone like to have a look?

I looked, can't find it, so I'm guessing they are A/B testing (I'm in the UK)

    It won’t appear for us in the UK as the deal is with a US payments provider (zip).

      Not sure we can rely on it staying in the US. Zip operates in the UK as well. https://zip.co/ - you will see Homebase there, a UK company.

      Let them keep it over there. For our US friends; in the UK we have a number of these bnpl providers, I suspect run by the payday loan sharks who had to find other revenue streams once their 6000% loans were outlawed. Now the government are looking to limit the bnpl industry too. There will always be those ready to take advantage of the financially less-able / suddenly unwaged. Let's not make it seem legitimate.
