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!

- You guys were doing so good with edge. BNPL needs to go.
- This news made me give Firefox another try and I was pleasantly surprised to find that all the issues I previously had with Firefox are now resolved. Bye-bye Edge. You shot yourself in the foot, Microsoft!
- This is a disgusting addition to Edge. It will only serve to damage Microsoft's reputation. Whoever thought this was a good idea should be ashamed, and needs to be retrained or replaced.
The functionality should be removed from Edge. Offer it as an Extension if you must. However, development time would be better spent fixing bugs rather than adding this sort of garbage. - Let's switch to Vivaldi!
- Want to send Microsoft a little bit of that telemetry data they love to collect? Uninstall Edge (at least until they force re-install it) using the commands from https://www.intowindows.com/2-ways-to-uninstall-microsoft-edge-from-windows-11
- Like many, I do not like the direction Edge has taken recently. It was all about security and performance. Now, it's full of tacky, nagging features that clutter and negate the experience tremendously.
- No thank you. The only people who really want this feature is someone high up in the Microsoft food chain.
- So MS has learned nothing from the decades of hatred for the IE browser. They spend time and money trying to build a browser people want, then ruin it with bloatware and shameless cash grabbing plugins. It's so simple. We want a fast secure browser. THATS IT! No expanded threat landscape for profit. No crappy bloatware and insecure plugins. I'm done. Back to Mozilla.
And if they keep trying to force Edge on me, I'll cut ties all together and go to Ubuntu. I don't game anymore so there's little reason to stay. mehua This is stupid. I will never use this and yet I have no way to turn it off and it bugs me when I make a purchase. I use and recommend MS Edge but you guys are making it much harder to recommend when you add trash like this to the default experience with no way to turn it off. This is not helpful for 99% of your users and is potentially harmful for others.
