# Stripe Buy Now & Pay Later Gateways

Stripe offers a huge array of payment methods beyond simple credit card processing. Buy Now & Pay Later payments such as Affirm, Afterpay & Klarna have become increasingly popular finance options that let customers break larger purchases into payments. Increase your customer conversions by offering available on-site payment plans through these popular processors.

## Before You Enable a Pay-Later Gateway

Pay-later buttons are smart — they only appear when the order actually qualifies.

> Special Note
>
> These special payment options are heavily dependent on the country your Stripe account is established in, as well as the customer and currencies involved. They will only show as options if the shopping cart also meets certain specifications — a good example is Affirm only working on $50–$30,000 dollar orders. The **Payment methods** tab lists the methods shoppers in your store’s country use most first, such as Affirm, Klarna and Afterpay for a US store, or Klarna and Clearpay in the UK.
