BNPL: Microsoft Extends Partnership with PayPal to Provide Flexible Payment Options

PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) and Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT), recently announced Microsoft’s integration of PayPal’s Pay Later solution in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy.

In addition, customers in the U.S. will soon “have the option to pay with Venmo in the Microsoft Store.” Venmo is currently available “in the Microsoft Store on Xbox in the U.S.

These new integrations offer customers more flexible ways “to pay and help increase customer loyalty.”

Kurt Campisano, SVP of Strategic Accounts, PayPal, said:

“For over 16 years, PayPal checkout has been a trusted method for Microsoft Store customers to purchase products like Surface devices and Xbox consoles and accessories, as well as Microsoft 365’s product suite. We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Microsoft to offer them access to our full suite of capabilities that will create a beautiful customer experience across the entire shopping journey.”

PayPal Pay Later and Venmo will “provide several additional benefits to Microsoft’s customers and its business” including:

  • PayPal Pay Later: With PayPal Pay Later, eligible consumers will now be able to pay for their purchases evenly over the course of weeks or months in fixed amounts, providing flexibility in how to pay and helping customers to better manage their budget.
  • Pay with Venmo: Venmo’s powerful social app will help improve the customer experience by enabling a quick and simple checkout process in the Microsoft Store and Microsoft Store on Xbox*. When consumers pay with Venmo, they’ll have the option to purchase subscriptions or split payments upon purchase.

Ajith Thekadath, Vice President of Global Payments, Microsoft, said:

“At Microsoft, our commitment to creating the best experience for customers is at the center of everything we do, whether it’s for entertainment or productivity. The addition of new PayPal payment method options delivers on this commitment and offers even more flexibility for customers with tools that work for them and their goals.”

As covered, PayPal claims it has “remained at the forefront of the digital payment revolution for more than 20 years.”

By leveraging technology to make financial services and commerce more convenient, affordable, and secure, the PayPal platform is “empowering hundreds of millions of consumers and merchants in more than 200 markets to join and thrive in the global economy.”
