Sezzle says the payments are interest-free. What’s the catch?

No catch. Sezzle is completely interest-free for shoppers. We pay Sezzle a fee for each transaction so that we can help you Shop Now and Pay Later. The only fees you could potentially incur are failed payment fees and late payment fees. If your scheduled payment fails to process, you will be charged a $10 failed payment fee. Sezzle does their best to prevent this from happening by sending email and text reminders. Rescheduled payments will incur a $5 late payment fee.

Does Sezzle perform a credit check?

Sezzle's extended payment option does not qualify as a credit product per Reg Z, however they still pull your credit score as part of their risk check. Don't worry, this check won't have a negative impact, because Sezzle is not a credit product per Reg Z. This is considered a "soft check" of credit. Sezzle uses your credit information to help approve you, verify your identity and reduce fraud.

Does Sezzle report to credit bureaus?

Sezzle currently doesn't report to credit bureaus.

What is the checkout process like with Sezzle?

Sezzle will secure the checkout using a one-time password that is sent via SMS text to the mobile number you provide. You will then be asked to login to your bank as the final step in their checkout. The entire process should take under 2 minutes for first-time Sezzle users. Secure checkout takes just a few seconds to complete for existing Sezzle users.

Why was my purchase with Sezzle not approved?

While Sezzle strives to offer all applicants an installment plan, they're not able to approve every application. If Sezzle isn't able to approve your application, they will immediately notify you of their decision. When determining which orders to approve, Sezzle considers a number of different factors. For example, the longer you have been a shopper with Sezzle and the more orders you have successfully repaid, the more likely you will be able to spend more. Here are some things to consider:

• Do you have sufficient funds available? Generally Sezzle looks to see that you have 25% of the order available to spend.
• The amount you have to repay on previous orders - it may help to pay some off (not a guarantee).
• The value of the order you are trying to place - it may help to reduce the value of your shopping cart (not a guarantee).

Is Sezzle secure?

Security is critically important. Sezzle undergoes quarterly scans and yearly audits for the highest level of compliance in the Payment Card Industry (PCI) to ensure that your data is safely stored in their systems. Sezzle is currently being certified to the top level of compliance - PCI Level 1.

If we do refund all or a portion of your purchase, we will notify Sezzle and return the necessary funds to you or reduce future installment payments.

I returned the goods, but I’m still being charged. How do I fix this?

Before Sezzle can make updates to your installment schedule, we have to be notify them that the refund has been accepted. Sezzle works closely with us to ensure that this happens as quickly as possible. All payments made to Sezzle will be refunded to you as soon as we notify them of the return. To determine the status of your return, please contact customer service directly. Contact information can be found on our website or on your Sezzle purchase receipt email. Once the refund is processed and we notify Sezzle, the changes to your installment plan are automatically applied, including any refunds due to you.

I returned part of my order/I received a partial refund. What happens now?

Sezzle has no impact or influence on the return or refund decision. All partial refunds are applied to the installments furthest in the future, first. If the refunded amount is greater than the amount of the purchase that is outstanding, Sezzle will apply a refund to the method used to pay the installments. If the refund amount is less than the amount outstanding Sezzle will remove or reduce your future installments. For example, let's say you make a $200 Sezzle purchase (ie 4 installments of $50). You have three (3) installments remaining, and you received a $70 refund. Sezzle will remove your 4th installment and reduce your 3rd installment by $20 (now $30). Your new installment schedule would be a future $50 installment and a subsequent $30 installment, which would lead to a total payment amount of $130, matching your purchase minus the partial refund.

I got a refund, but I haven't received my money?

Sezzle does their best to return your funds to you in a timely manner and in many cases your money will be returned to your account in 1-3 business days. However, depending on your payment method and other factors it may take up to 10 business days for the funds to reach your account. If you are concerned, send and email to shoppersupport@sezzle.com and they will check on the status of your refund.

Can I pay off my purchase early?

Yes! Sezzle encourages shoppers to pay off their account early, if possible. If you'd like to pay off your purchase early, you can do so in your Sezzle customer dashboard.

When do I make my first payment?

Your first 25% installment begins on the purchase date. This will be clearly communicated at the time of your purchase. Subsequent payments will occur every two (2) weeks, and your repayment is complete after six (6) weeks.

Why have I been charged a failed payment fee?

If one of your automatic payment fails to complete, Sezzle will apply a $10 failure fee to the payment. The payment will be automatically retried later. Sezzle will remind you before the payment is due with text and email alerts, and will allow you to reschedule your payment. Please ensure that you reschedule your payment at least a day prior to the due date. The ability to reschedule your payment on the due date cannot be guaranteed due to variable processing times.

What happens if I don't pay?
