MicrosoftIntroducing Buy now, pay later in Microsoft Edge
“Buy now, pay later,” or BNPL, lets shoppers break their purchases into equal installment payments, often interest-free, which can allow shoppers to get their purchase upfront, instead of having to wait until it’s paid in full.
Usually, BNPL is offered in specific ecommerce websites like Target, Walmart. But now, Microsoft partners with 3rd party Zip (previously Quadpay) to offer a BNPL payment option at browser level. It means any purchase between $35 - $1,000 you make through Microsoft Edge can be split into 4 installments over 6 weeks.
On top of coverage, we also aim to 1) meet you where you are. 2) simplify the application process.
Meet you where you are:
When you are in checkout page, you can find BNPL option right when you enter credit card number
For some shoppers, you can also find BNPL option right when you enter checkout page.
Simplify application process:
Applying BNPL could take time, you need to sign in with zip every single time. With BNPL in Edge, you can simply link your Microsoft account with your zip account with one click and then bypass sign in from Zip side. It can expedite the application process for you.
BNPL is currently available in Microsoft Edge Canary and Dev channels and will be available by default to all users in Microsoft Edge release 96. If you experience any issue while using this feature, please let us know through Microsoft Edge by pressing Shift+Alt+I on a Windows device or going to Settings and more … > Help and feedback > Send feedback.
You can read more on the FAQ support article. Please also join us here on the Microsoft Edge Insider forums or Twitter to discuss your experience or send us your feedback through the browser! We hope you enjoy this exciting new feature and look forward to hearing from you!

What's wrong with you people, every time MS releases a decent product you pull a moronic stunt like this and shoot yourself in the foot. NO one wants that. Leave features like this where they belong - in add-ons, not core browser experience.
This has to be literally THE dumbest thing MS could have done with its browser. Get ready to lose half of your users as they jump back to Mozilla or Google.
To think someone actually gets paid to come up with ideas like this...smh...
- Oh man, PLEASE do not do this.
Edge was doing SO good, with many wonderful productivity features that I love and actually really help me a lot on a day-to-day basis. Edge should be treated as a productivity tool, adding in ads, shopping and now BNPL... this is a horrible change in direction and it's really making me consider if i want to continue using this browser/platform.
Please consider focusing on the productivity features, not trying to turn this browser into something that feels sleezy. Complete garbage. Remove it. At this point, I've halted all plans to move my enterprise of a few hundred users to Edge from Chrome. Only the small IT department is on it so that I can keep my eye on what crap I have disable each month. Microsoft just can't help it -- you guys have destroyed absolutely every bit of very hard-fought credibility built up over the past two years.
- That's the shopping assistant/coupon. Not the buy later. I've not seen a detailed post on how to do so.
- microsoft edge is already bad browser and this is really annoying go away microsoft mehua remove this feature
mehua It's truly amazing to watch Microsoft fumble their browsers year after year. You guys just never learn and will continue to die on the hill you are standing on, alone, trying to shovel garbage onto people that no one ever wanted.
With IE, you never fixed or listened to the feedback on how broken your browser was at following internet standards for HTML and CSS.
With the first editions of Edge, you made a tablet app for a desktop environment that literally everyone hated.
With the new Edge, you are adding more and more bloat no one wanted all for profit margins.
Your browsers are, and will always be, seen as just a way to download a better browser.
- These kind of jokes are a bit out of season, don't you think?
- Adding to the call to stop this - and at a minimum, allow it to be turned off.
- Where is the GPO or registry key to turn off this nonsense?
Can you please create one setting/ policy to opt out from all future consumer features you might add to Edge? Shopping Assistant is another example.- https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/167851-how-enable-disable-shopping-microsoft-edge-chromium.html
- Yikes. What an awful feature. To intentionally bundle a predatory business model right into Edge is soulless, unethical, and screams "profit over humanity".
