“We are excited about the new payment partnerships we have added, to give shoppers some more flexibility this holiday season,” said Bill Quinn, CIO, Hibbett. “We are continuously looking for ways to improve customer shopping experiences, especially during the holiday season.”

“We’re excited to partner with Hibbett to bring Afterpay’s transparent, interest-free payment options to their customers nationwide. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to making shopping more accessible and flexible, especially during the holiday season when consumers are looking for payment solutions that work with their budgets,” said Tanuj Parikh, Head of Commercial, Cash App and Afterpay.

With the official festive season kick off just around the corner, many consumers are starting their shopping earlier and gift-giving budgets are top of mind. Hibbett is adding two more flexible payment options to allow shoppers to choose the payment methods that work best for them and their wallets. In addition to Klarna, Hibbett has now added Affirm and Afterpay as Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) options, allowing qualified shoppers to easily split purchases into smaller, manageable payments over time, instead of paying the full amount upfront.

A More Flexible Way to Pay

Hibbett now offers two additional significant BNPL providers — Affirm and Afterpay, allowing qualified shoppers to split purchases into smaller payments over time, with the ease of a click.

• Affirm – pay over time with clear, predictable payments. For eligible shoppers, choose to pay in 4 interest-free installments every two weeks or select monthly payments for larger purchases – always with no late fees, no hidden fees, and no compounding interest.
• Afterpay – shop now, pay later with four interest-free payments, with no fees when paid on time, or select a monthly installment plan for big-ticket items – no hard credit checks required.
• Klarna – giving shoppers the freedom to pay their way, with no hidden fees or surprises. Split purchases into four interest-free payments, pay in 30 days, or choose monthly financing for bigger buys.
