“Easy payment” plans have never been easier, and Millennials, who are starting to buy pricier items, are taking advantage. PayPal recently introduced an online credit button that targets consumers at the point of purchase and allows costs to be paid in installments over time. Since adding the PayPal credit button in July, Shop.com has seen larger electronic purchases and average order sizes have increased by $17. Pushing the credit button is so easy it has regulators worried for those who may “skim over the fine print.” (Bloomberg Business)
