How do I add Pay in 4 as a payment option for my product?

Pay in 4 is a PayPal "buy-now-pay-later" solution that works like an installment plan. Your customer pays for the product in 4 installments, with biweekly charges, without additional fees, directly via PayPal. 

The biweekly payment model is very popular in the U.S., and one of the main benefits of this option is that creators receive their payments immediately. 

Here’s an example: in an $80 transaction via Pay in 4, your customer will pay $20 at checkout and make the remaining payments every 15 days. So every two weeks, the customer's PayPal account will be charged $20 until the total amount is paid off.

The method is only available to buyers in the United States, and your product’s price needs to be the US dollar (USD) or have currency conversion enabled.

Pay in 4 allows transactions from $30 to $1,500. To use PayPal for higher amounts, the Hotmart platform offers three options: PayPal, PayPal Credit, and PayPal Venmo

By default, this method is enabled when PayPal is selected as the primary payment method. In other words, if PayPal is enabled, you don't need to activate anything else to offer this method to your customers.

To set up Pay in 4 as a payment method for your product, follow the steps below.

To pay with Pay in 4, customers must log in to their PayPal account, fill in the required information, and complete the purchase. 

Pay in 4 doesn’t impact how creators, cocreators, and affiliates are commissioned. This payment method is processed just like other PayPal transactions.
