## Source summary

PYMNTS reports that SHOPLINE selected Splitit as its card-linked installment partner and will embed the capability into the commerce platform. Merchants will be able to activate Splitit through a plugin, while shoppers use available credit on an existing payment card rather than opening a separate BNPL account. The companies position the integration for brands selling from Asia, Europe and other markets into the United States and globally.

## Why it matters

Embedding installments in a platform that says it serves more than 700,000 merchants can reduce integration work for cross-border sellers seeking localized checkout options. This is an announced partnership, not demonstrated adoption: the sources disclose no activation date, eligible countries, card networks, pricing, underwriting terms, merchant uptake, transaction volume or measured conversion improvement.

## Key numbers

- **SHOPLINE merchant base stated by the companies:** 700,000+
