FAQs

What is Stitch Pay Later?

Stitch Pay Later lets you buy now and pay in monthly instalments at participating South African online stores. Depending on the store, you’ll pay with Split or Extend. You see your full repayment plan before you commit.

What’s the difference between Split and Extend?

Split lets you pay for your purchase in 2 to 6 monthly instalments, with no interest or fees when you pay on time. Extend is a credit agreement with Stitch Services, a registered credit provider (NCRCP-23522). With Extend, you pay a once-off initiation fee at checkout, plus interest and a monthly service fee, and you see the full cost in your quote before you agree. You don’t choose between them: each store decides whether it offers Split or Extend.

Where can I use Pay Later?

You can use Stitch Pay Later at participating online stores across fashion, beauty, electronics, homeware, groceries and more. Look for Stitch Pay Later at checkout, or create a free Stitch account to see every store where you can pay.

How do I get approved for Pay Later?

You need to be 18 or older, with a South African ID and a bank account in your name, and you can’t be under debt review. For Split, you also need a debit or credit card in your name. Choose Stitch Pay Later at checkout, verify your identity and Stitch will run a credit and affordability check. Each purchase is assessed separately, so being approved once doesn’t guarantee you’ll be approved next time.

Are there any fees?

Split has no interest, service fees or account fees when you pay on time. If you miss an instalment, a late fee may apply. Extend has a once-off initiation fee paid at checkout, plus interest and a monthly service fee. Some Extend purchases also need a deposit towards the purchase price. Every cost is shown in your quote before you agree, and your quote is valid for 5 business days. Your bank may also charge its own fees on debit orders.

How are my instalments paid?

Your instalments are collected automatically from your linked card or bank account on the dates in your repayment plan, so make sure you have enough money available on each due date. If a due date falls on a Sunday or public holiday, the payment may be collected on the next processing day.
