How XPay and JazzCash Are Making BNPL Accessible for Every Pakistani Merchant

In Pakistan's expanding online retail sector, where sales reached $7.7 billion in 2024 and projections point to $12 billion by 2027 with a 17% compound annual growth rate, one persistent challenge stands out for merchants: turning browsers into buyers. Cash on delivery accounts for 75% of transactions, offering familiarity but introducing delays, higher return rates, and operational headaches. 

Digital payment options are on the rise, fueled by growing smartphone penetration and fintech innovations. Among these, Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) is emerging as a practical tool, especially in the Asia Pacific, where the BNPL market is set to expand by 14.5% to $211.7 billion in 2025. This model lets customers split purchases into manageable installments, making bigger buys feel less daunting without the need for traditional credit checks.

For Pakistani merchants, BNPL isn't just a trend; it's a direct response to local needs, as highlighted in the government's e-Commerce Policy 2.0 for 2025-30, which notes increasing use of mobile wallets and BNPL alongside persistent cash preferences. Yet, until recently, rolling out BNPL required complex setups, limiting it to large platforms. The integration of JazzCash’s BNPL with XPay enables merchants to offer installment payments effortlessly.

This partnership opens the door for merchants of all sizes to offer installment payments seamlessly, boosting sales while keeping operations simple. 

In this blog, we'll break down how this works, the advantages it brings, and how you can implement it today.

What Is Buy Now, Pay Later, and Why Does It Fit Pakistan's Market?

BNPL allows customers to purchase items immediately and defer payments over short terms, typically three equal installments spread across 60 days, without interest for the buyer in many cases. Unlike credit cards, which demand formal banking ties and income proof, BNPL through services like JazzCash relies on simple eligibility checks via mobile wallets. Customers pay a small service fee upfront, and the rest follows automatically from their account.

In Pakistan, where over 70% of the population is unbanked but mobile money users exceed 50 million, this approach aligns perfectly. E-commerce growth is expected to accelerate, driven by social commerce and quick-delivery apps, but hesitation around full upfront payments holds back higher-value carts. BNPL addresses this by spreading costs, encouraging impulse buys on everything from smartphones to fashion. 

XPay: The Backbone for Pakistan Digital Payments

XPay by PostEx serves as a robust payment gateway solution for Pakistani online businesses. It handles everything from card processing to mobile wallets, ensuring transactions stay on-site for a smooth experience that can lift success rates by up to 35%. Key strengths include PCI-DSS compliance for secure data handling, tokenization to protect recurring payments, and dynamic routing that picks the best path for each transaction to maximize approvals.

Merchants appreciate XPay's flexibility: It integrates with platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce out of the box, supports Google Pay for quick taps, and offers fraud detection through XShield, which scans for risks in real-time using details like IP addresses and card fingerprints. 

For subscription models, it automates retries and billing, cutting down on failed charges. And with payment links, even non-technical sellers can generate shareable checkout URLs via SMS or social media in seconds. All this comes with transparent pricing, no surprises, and dedicated support to get you live quickly.

At its core, XPay is designed for scalability, whether you're a solo entrepreneur or a growing e-commerce brand like PriceOye or Domino's Pakistan.

JazzCash: Powering Financial Inclusion with BNPL

JazzCash, Pakistan's top mobile financial service with tens of millions of users, has long simplified money transfers, bill payments, and merchant collections. Its BNPL offering, introduced to target fashion and tech shoppers, stands out for accessibility: no bank account or job verification required, just an active JazzCash wallet. Users select BNPL at checkout, choose full or partial upfront payment, confirm with their MPIN, and repay in three parts over two months, often with a 15% service charge baked in.

This isn't limited to big-ticket items; it's live on sites like Telemart for electronics and apparel, making it ideal for everyday online shopping. By tying into Pakistan's vast mobile ecosystem, JazzCash BNPL reduces barriers, letting more people shop without financial strain.

JazzCash BNPL Integration

We've integrated JazzCash’s BNPL directly into XPay, so merchants already using JazzCash payments can activate this feature with minimal effort. At checkout, customers see BNPL as an option alongside cards and wallets. If eligible, they select it, enter their JazzCash details, and split the bill into easy installments, all processed on-site without redirects.

This works across custom websites and apps, thanks to XPay's unified API that supports every payment method in one call. No separate gateways or clunky add-ons needed. For mobile-first setups, our SDKs make it even simpler: integrate payments in minutes using React Native, Flutter, Kotlin, or Swift. Pick your preferred stack, add a few lines of code, and go live. This feature is built for developers who want custom solutions ready for anything, from web stores to hybrid apps.

The result? A checkout flow that feels native, with BNPL blending in like any other method, backed by XPay's security layers to keep things fraud-free.

Key Benefits for Merchants: Driving Revenue Without the Hassle

For Pakistani merchants, this integration delivers tangible gains. First, it tackles cart abandonment by removing the "pay now" barrier; customers who balk at full prices are more likely to complete orders when installments are available. Early adopters report improved conversion rates, as BNPL encourages testing new products without commitment.

Second, it lifts average order values. Shoppers opt for upgrades, like adding accessories to a phone purchase, knowing payments are spread out. This directly increases margins, especially in competitive categories like tech and fashion, where JazzCash BNPL shines.

Third, it cuts payment friction at the final step. No more lost sales from declined cards or COD no-shows; BNPL via JazzCash ensures funds hit your account upfront (minus the installment deferral handled by them). Plus, XPay's dynamic routing and fraud tools keep operations smooth, with real-time dashboards to track performance.

In a market where e-commerce transaction values have surged 1,400% since 2019 under policy pushes, this setup lets small merchants compete with giants by offering premium payment perks.

Advantages for Customers: Flexibility That Builds Loyalty

Customers win big too. With JazzCash BNPL through XPay, they gain the freedom to pay in three hassle-free installments over 60 days, turning a PKR 30,000 gadget into three PKR 10,000 chunks (plus fee). This eases budget pressure, cutting hesitation for bigger spends and making online shopping as straightforward as in-store haggling.

No lengthy approvals, just quick wallet verification. And since it's all on-site via XPay, the process stays fast and secure, with tokenization saving details for future buys. For the 75% still tied to cash habits, this bridges to digital without overwhelm, fostering repeat visits and trust in your brand.

Tailored for Developers: Quick Setup with Robust Tools

Whether you're building a custom web store or a mobile app, XPay's developer-friendly tools make BNPL integration a breeze. Our SDKs cover major frameworks, React Native for cross-platform ease, Flutter for beautiful UIs, Kotlin for Android depth, or Swift for iOS polish. Drop in the code, connect to JazzCash, and test in sandbox mode before launch.

Documentation is clear, with sample snippets for BNPL flows, and our API handles edge cases like partial payments or eligibility checks automatically. Setup takes minutes, not weeks, so you can focus on your core product rather than payment plumbing.
