When pay-through-installment services began barreling through retail last year, they dramatically impacted the credit card market. But the latest evolution of payment alternatives could change the way consumers — and companies — pay for goods even more.

1 Carrying things is a thing of the past Staggering home with 10 supermarket shopping bags is a pain – especially when they cost 5p each. Shop online, get them delivered and have a bag-free shop. 2 You can do it after a few drinks Nobody ever walked into a store and walked out with a gazebo and a tiger onesie.

Even better, nobody need ever witness you making these embarrassing purchases. 3 It’s easy to return things Refunds are your friend....
