Overview
Billie provides a BNPL checkout service for businesses, letting customers choose flexible payment terms at checkout to speed up merchant payments. It uses real-time verification and scoring to approve a wide range of buyers (existing, new, guest) with high acceptance rates, enabling immediate sales. It also supports post-purchase processes like overpayments, dunning, and debt collection to help manage receivables. Billie earns revenue by charging merchants for its services, typically tied to transaction volume, with the goal of boosting checkout conversions and overall sales for its clients.
