Qualified customers can choose four interest-free instalments or monthly payments for up to 24 months; Airwallex says its platform supports more than 160 payment methods worldwide. ## Why it matters The integration gives merchants outside the United States a localized financing option for U.S. checkout without operating another technical connection, which may reduce payment-method friction in cross-border ecommerce.
