Add the Pay Later widget displaying the instalment pricing just below your product price. It turns a sticker-shock moment into an "I can afford this" moment — right at the point of decision.
02 — Widget setup
Embed the Pay Later widget on your product pages in minutes. Choose your platform below for specific instructions.
main-product.liquid, product-template.liquid, product-information.liquid, or product.liquid. Search for {{ product.price }} to find the right location.Many Shopify themes render product details twice — once for desktop and once for mobile — and use CSS classes like mobile-hidden, desktop-hidden-sm, or hidden-xs to toggle visibility.
Before adding the widget, search your product template for these class names. If your theme uses this pattern, you'll need to add the widget snippet in both the desktop and mobile sections. Use a different element id for each (e.g. stitch-bnpl-widget and stitch-bnpl-widget-mobile).
If you only add it to the desktop section, the widget won't appear on mobile devices.
<!-- Add this below your product price. If your theme has separate desktop/mobile sections, add it inside BOTH sections with different element ids. --> <div id="stitch-bnpl-widget"></div> <script> window.StitchBNPLConfig = { mountSelector: '#stitch-bnpl-widget', price: {{ product.selected_or_first_available_variant.price | divided_by: 100.0 }}, minimumAmount: 100, logoBg: 'purple', width: '100%', locale: 'en-ZA', currency: 'ZAR' }; </script> <script src="https://express.stitch.money/js/bnpl-widget.v1.js"></script> <script> document.addEventListener('variant:change', function(e) { if (e.detail?.variant) window.StitchBNPL.setPrice(e.detail.variant.price / 100); }); </script>
divided_by: 100.0 in the Liquid tag, and divide by 100 in the variant:change listener.Some Shopify themes duplicate the product price and buy box — one block for large screens and another for phones — then hide the irrelevant block with CSS. The widget must live in both blocks, or it will only show on one screen size.
