The total number of Buy Now Pay Later users in Australia is likely to be over 2 million and growing, so it’s obvious that one of the best ways to grow sales is by offering a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) option at your beauty or health business.
The option to spread costs over time can help people better manage their cash flow, and importantly help convert sales.
Payment plan options have become an important way businesses are increasing conversions in the ever-evolving shopping environment with a global survey finding that 31% of consumers wouldn’t have purchased if they didn’t have an option of a payment plan.
31% is a huge amount of the spending market, so your business must have a simple safe payment plan option so your clients can get the procedure or treatment they desire.
It is important to recognise that we are living amongst the world’s largest youth population in history, and it is millennials and Gen Zers that are driving the massive growth in the BNLP platforms.
The way Buy Now Pay Later options work is the customer makes a portion of the payment at the time of purchase, after that they make scheduled payments over a certain period of time until the purchase is completely paid for.
MyHealth&Beauty is a managed payment plan solution specifically designed for health and beauty clinics.
How it works is:
- Present a suitable treatment plan to your client.
- Decide on the Payment Plan details with your client, including the deposit, amount and frequency of payment.
- Submit the complete form to MyHealth&Beauty to establish the Payment Plan.
- Begin the treatment straight away, with client payments commencing to your clinic.
Another important thing to consider is cosmetic procedures and treatments are gaining huge popularity with Gen Z’s and millennials, especially when it comes to non-evasive treatments such as botox and lip enhancements.
While some treatments can be quite expensive, the option to Buy Now and Pay Later eliminates the financial stress for many young people wanting to get a treatment or procedure.
According to a study conducted by Worldplay, hesitancy at checkout arises from factors such as unexpected costs and the high full price of a product. BNLP helps alleviate some of this stress by not charging interest, unlike credit cards. However, the thing most clients love about BNPL is the staggering of payment over a period of time.
Keeping your clients happy and satisfied is imperative to improving client retention. Keeping an existing customer costs approximately seven times less than acquiring a new one. Therefore it is imperative that you cater for the needs of your current client base, alongside looking for new clients.
Showing your current customers that you care about their needs and providing them with financing options is one way to keep them loyal to your business.

Clients with MyHealth&Beauty are more likely to return for regular treatments.
The breakdown and scheduled interval payments make it easier for the client to get the treatment they desire and therefore feel they have the means to pay for treatments in the future.
