Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Web Shop Payment Solution GoSEPP Makes it Easier to Afford Items

— June 25, 2017 — Business
This startup enables web shop payment installments that will work for any ecommerce site. Based in Austria, GoSEPP is a new venture that aims to offer financial freedom by offering flexible payments everywhere. They enable "partial payment for any purchase, in every online store." Even if that store doesn't offer monthly payment programs or something similar, GoSEPP makes it happen with a chat-based model.

This makes the products you want more affordable, and also allows you to receive it before your first installment is even due. The financing platform makes it easier to acquire things that cost 30 euros or 3000 euros as needed, and in a transparent and quick manner. By acting as the middleman, the web shop payment system purchases the product on customer request and then sells them back to the customer at a monthly rate.
Trend Themes
1. Flexible Payment Solutions - A trend towards offering flexible payment options, such as installments, in order to make products and services more affordable and accessible to a wider range of consumers.

3. Alternative Lending Services - A trend towards alternative lending services in eCommerce that seek to challenge traditional financial institutions, democratize access to affordable financing solutions and re-shape the landscape of consumer–oriented financial services.
Industry Implications

3. Consumer Finance - A growing trend towards the development of innovative financing models that combine technology and financial services to make products and services more affordable and accessible to a wider range of consumers.
