Our Buy Now, Pay Later feature allows donors to pledge to purchase items for sale, so they can participate instantly and complete their purchase later.
If your event attendees are signed in and have a credit card on file, they are able to One-Click-Buy from our Items for Sale page, saving them time from going through the checkout flow.
If your event attendees aren't signed in or don't have a credit card saved, the Buy Now, Pay Later feature is designed to allow them to still engage quickly without needing to pull out their wallets.
With this feature, they will automatically be prompted to Buy Now, Pay Later by giving their full name and email address. Our system will then add the Item to their cart and reserve it until the attendee is ready to complete their purchase later.
These items will appear as Pledges in your Dashboard and Check-in Tool, allowing you to follow up and request payment after the event.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add a Buy Now, Pay Later item to an attendee's cart?
Yes - From the Check-In Tool, you can find the attendee and select Manage Cart. From there, click the button Item Buy Now to complete the flow. If the attendee does not have a credit card saved, it will automatically add the item as a Buy Now, Pay Later pledge.
Can an attendee remove a Buy Now, Pay Later Item from their cart?
No, the attendee cannot remove the reserved item from their cart. If a mistake was made, they must see the event organizer to have the item removed from their cart via the check-in tool.
An attendee has a Buy Now, Pay Later item in their cart that they want to pay for later, but there's something else they want to buy now. How do they complete the purchase for everything but the Item?
If an attendee has a Buy Now, Pay Later item in their cart and they add something else to (like Canadian ERS raffle tickets), they must complete the purchase with everything inside their cart. At this time, there is no way to hold the Buy Now, Pay Later item in a separate queue.
However, if the attendee has a Buy Now, Pay Later item in their cart because they were not signed in, and they later sign in and have a payment method saved, the next time they visit the Items for Sale page they will be prompted to One-Click-Buy instead of Buy Now, Pay Later. The One-Click-Buy system skips the cart, so only that specific item is purchased.
