Sezzle is a 'buy now, pay later' app that splits online and in-store purchases into four interest-free payments over six weeks, like a digital layaway for everyday shoppers.
Sezzle earns fees from merchants per transaction, with gross margins around 88.75% and net margins near 30.83% — high-margin, transaction-based revenue that scales with purchase volume.
Sezzle's network of merchants and consumer brand recognition create switching costs, but Affirm and Klarna offer similar installment plans with broader reach, making the moat eroding as these competitors expand aggressively.
