Allianz Trade pay is a B2B Buy now Pay Later option, that is offered in cooperation with our partner Allianz Trade. The payment option lets your business customers pay an invoice 30 to 90 days after the purchase.

How does it work?

If a deadline is missed, payever will automatically file a claim for your insurance case and send dunning letters to your customer. In case of a payment default, 90% of the missing order value will be reimbursed by Allianz Trade.

Auto-capture - This selection determines at what point in time an order is covered by Allianz Trade pay. From this point on the credit period starts. You can choose one of three options:
- On authorize: Coverage is activated as soon as the (accepted) order is submitted by your customer. This option makes sense if you usually have everything in stock and are very quick to ship your goods.
- On fulfilment: Coverage is activated as soon as you ship the goods. This option makes sense if it takes you longer to ship an order. That way you give your customer more time to settle the invoice after the goods arrive.
