Splitit InStore was built to meet the needs of the retail sales associate to 
deliver a better customer experience at a time when retailers are also thinking 
about how to optimize their omnichannel strategy. Splitit InStore provides an 
instalment option the retail sales associate can initiate for shoppers when 
making larger value purchases, such as home furnishings, jewellery, luxury 
retail and sporting goods. Splitit InStore also enables shoppers to use 
ApplePay and GooglePay accounts via Splitit, using pay-by-link with a Splitit 
QR code, text message or email, when buying from participating merchants.

The added flexibility to pay over time helps alleviate the perceived risk of 
large expenditures and helps consumers afford the products they want. Splitit 
InStore also extends to phone orders providing additional capabilities for 
merchants.

The company also announced several new leading brands have signed on to use 
Splitit InStore. These brands include La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, Gem 
Shopping Network(TM), PROCAM, Fabergé, KEF and Aftershock PC Australia. 
Merchants interested in adding Splitit InStore to their retail locations can 
get on the waiting list at www.SplitIt.com/InStore.

"Online shopping has transformed the way we shop for furniture. But consumers 
still want to see, feel and experience our furniture firsthand," said David 
Hilst, owner of five La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries stores in Illinois and 
Indiana. "Splitit delivers a seamless in-store experience. We can meet the 
shopper in the store and offer an instalment option instantly – it's the best 
online experience in an offline environment. You don't get this with other 
financing options."

The service is accessible on any connected device. It can be offered right at 
the moment of purchase with no application or sign-up required by the shopper. 
And because Splitit uses the consumer's available credit on a credit card, 
approval rates are in line with credit card industry averages of 85% or 
better.1 No red tape and low rejection rates mean more closed sales and less 
time checking out. instalment plans can last between six to 24 months, and 
Splitit never charges the consumer fees or interest. It's a win for merchants, 
sales associates and customers.

"Retailers are starting to see a consistent increase of in-store traffic as we 
slowly recover from the pandemic. As a result, providing an in-store solution 
was the number one request from Splitit's customers," notes Splitit CEO Brad 
Paterson. "Splitit InStore answers this call and is just one way we continue to 
innovate to match this permanent change in shopper habits and preferences. 
Besides broadening our addressable market by accessing retailers with a 
brick-and-mortar store presence, this also opens Splitit to exciting new 
categories."

Splitit InStore benefits other industries, including automotive repair, 
healthcare, home repair and improvement, and others without a flexible system 
to offer customers instalment payments.
