Can You Use Paidy for Flights?Paidy Isn't Live on Laters.com Yet

Not yet. Paidy is a Japan-only payment method, and we're still working on bringing it to Laters.com, so you can't use it to book flights or buy plane tickets here today. Paidy is built around a monthly consolidated bill and 3-Pay or 6-Pay instalment options in Japan, which is a genuinely useful way to spread a fare, but our checkout doesn't support it yet. We'd rather tell you that plainly than let you reach payment and hit a wall.

The good news is you don't have to put your trip on hold. Laters.com already offers another buy-now-pay-later option at checkout, so you can still split the cost of a fare across a schedule that suits your budget rather than paying the whole amount today. Some plans carry interest, a credit check may apply, and approval isn't guaranteed, but the option is live and working right now, unlike Paidy.

Keep an eye on this page: when Paidy checkout does go live on Laters.com, this section will update with the plan families on offer, the markets they cover, and the usual conditions, including that any deferred-payment plan is subject to approval and generally restricted to applicants aged 18 and over. Until then, check paidy.com for how Paidy itself works in Japan, and use our other supported payment method here to book your flight without waiting.

Split Your Flight, Pay Over Time with Paidy

Paidy lets Japan-based travellers bill a fare to a single monthly statement or split it into several monthly instalments, with a shorter deferred option and a longer instalment run also on offer. Some plans carry interest and late charges, and a credit check applies before Paidy sets what you're offered, so treat this as borrowing, not a discount.

すぐ払い is not a credit product: you settle a Paidy purchase in full at a convenience store from the app rather than waiting for the monthly bill. There's nothing to carry forward and no interest to weigh up, only the fare itself. Available via convenience-store payment only, from the Paidy app.

Every plan here runs through Paidy in Japan. Repayment is collected by direct debit, bank transfer or convenience-store payment, and the e-ticket is issued in full once your booking is confirmed, before any instalment is due.

Illustrative only. The figures above are computed from the fare you set: plain division for the interest-free plans, and the plan's own illustrative rate over its stated term for monthly financing. They are not an offer, a quote, or a prediction of what you will be given. Laters.com is not the lender and takes no part in the decision: which plans appear, the instalment amounts, any interest and fees, and whether you are eligible at all are determined by the provider alone, and depend on a credit or eligibility assessment, your country and your basket. The only way to see your real plans is to choose this payment method at checkout, at which point the provider, not Laters.com, approves or declines the purchase. All plans, rates, fees and terms are estimates only and subject to approval and to change.

Paidy Flight Booking: Coming Soon on Laters.com

Paidy checkout is not yet live on Laters.com. Paidy operates only in Japan, settling purchases in yen, so its reach is narrow by design rather than by omission on our part. We would rather tell you that plainly than dress up a grid that isn't ready. In the meantime, browse the other pay-later methods on Laters.com to split the cost of your flight today, since some of those do carry a credit check and, on certain plans, interest. This guide lists instalment plans in 1 market. This guide lists deferred payment in 1 market.

Once live, this space will show Paidy's own plan labels exactly as Paidy publishes them, including the monthly consolidated bill and the 3-Pay and 6-Pay instalment options, each repaid at fixed intervals with no interest when paid on time, though approval is never guaranteed and a late payment can bring extra charges. Limits and terms differ by plan and are confirmed at checkout on Paidy's own site. Check paidy.com directly for current details, or come back here soon.

Laters.com vs booking direct

Why Book Your Paidy Flights on Laters.com?

Paidy is not yet available on Laters.com. Most airlines do not offer Paidy at their own checkout, and the few that do each set their own rules, which is exactly why we are working on bringing it into one checkout that covers every airline we sell.

In the meantime, please check out our other payment methods on Laters.com. Laters.com is the merchant for every ticket we sell, so one party handles the booking, any change to it, and any refund, whichever airline operates the flight and whichever plan is approved. That is worth knowing before you pay anything upfront, since the fare, plus any interest or fees, is still owed on a schedule.

Paidy runs on a Japan-only footprint, settling purchases in JPY through a single consolidated bill due the following month, or through 3, 6 or 12-instalment plans at 0% when paid by direct debit. A Β₯3,000 minimum applies to Pay in 3, and late balances accrue damages of 14.6% per year. Not yet bookable through Laters.com.

What works well

  • 0% APR (no instalment fee) on ηΏŒζœˆγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„ and 3/6/12ε›žγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„ via direct debit
  • Instalment terms stretch from one bill up to 12 months
  • Same-day settlement option through すぐ払い (Pay Now)

What to watch

  • Japan-only service, settled in JPY
  • Pay in 3 needs a Β₯3,000 minimum order
  • Late balances accrue 14.6% annual damages
  • Convenience-store payment adds a Β₯390 fee

4 measures, scored the same way for every provider at our checkout.

Repayment Flexibility8/10

Paidy (ηΏŒζœˆγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„) is one deferred bill; 3ε›ž, 6ε›ž and 12ε›žγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„ add instalment terms up to 12 months. Range is real but every plan sits under one country, and minimums (Β₯3,000 to Β₯12,000) exclude the smallest purchases.

Interest Rate8/10

0% APR (no instalment fee) applies across ηΏŒζœˆγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„, 3ε›ž/6ε›ž/12ε›žγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„ when settled by direct debit or bank transfer. Convenience-store payment adds a Β₯390 fee, and missed payments carry 14.6% annual late damages.

Eligibility7/10

Paidy operates in one market, Japan, settling only in JPY. Strong depth there, but travellers outside Japan, or without a Japanese mobile number for some plans, have no access at all.

Approval Process7/10

ηΏŒζœˆγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„ needs no upfront application beyond checkout, but 3ε›ž/6ε›ž/12ε›žγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„ require identity verification inside the Paidy app before instalments unlock, adding a step between selecting a fare and confirming it.

Direct debit instalments
3ε›ž, 6ε›ž and 12ε›žγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„ carry no instalment fee when settled by direct debit or bank transfer.
Convenience-store fee
Paying via convenience store adds a payment fee of up to Β₯390 (tax included) per bill.
Late payment
Missed payments accrue late damages of 14.6% per year, plus a collection fee on some plans.
Flight refunds
How a refunded fare is credited back against an open instalment plan is set by Paidy; confirm at paidy.com.
Currency
All Paidy plans settle in JPY, so travellers paying from abroad may see currency conversion costs from their own bank.

Treat the table as an illustration, not a quote: what a traveller is actually offered depends on the market, the merchant, and approval at checkout. Every provider on Laters.com is costed on the same rows so plans can be compared fairly.

Where Paidy leads

  • 0% APR (no instalment fee) on ηΏŒζœˆγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„ and 3/6/12ε›žγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„ via direct debit
  • Instalment terms stretch from one bill up to 12 months

Before you apply

  1. Paidy is confirmed for Japan only, with all plans settling in JPY.
  2. ηΏŒζœˆγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„ (the following-month bill) is a deferred payment rather than an instalment credit product in the same sense as the 3/6/12ε›ž plans, though late damages of 14.6% per year still apply if unpaid.
  3. Very low-cost fares may not qualify: Pay in 3, Pay in 6 and Pay in 12 each carry their own minimum order value.
  4. Age and residency rules, and which instalment counts a given checkout offers, vary; confirm current terms at paidy.com.

More Ways to Pay Later for Flights

Paidy isn't live at the Laters.com checkout yet, so this isn't the head-to-head it might otherwise be. Instead, here's what's on offer today: Gcash and a handful of other providers already sit at checkout, ready to spread the cost of a flight while you wait for Paidy to land here. compare Gcash for flights on Laters.com is one place to start, alongside the pay-in-4 and longer-financing options below. If Paidy isn't available where you are, these are the other providers that can spread the cost of your flight.

Other providers

Gcash

Pay in 4 instalments

Gcash splits the fare into smaller payments, and approval plus a credit check typically apply before checkout completes. Missing a scheduled payment can bring fees, so it pays to check the repayment dates before you book.

Coverage varies by market; check Laters.com at checkout for availability.

View provider guide

Klarna

Pay in 4 or monthly financing

Klarna offers both shorter pay-in-4 style plans and longer monthly financing on some purchases, with approval and a credit check standard before the plan is confirmed. Some plans carry an APR, so it's worth reading the terms before choosing a schedule.

Coverage varies by market; check Laters.com at checkout for availability.

View provider guide

Afterpay

Pay in 4 instalments
Afterpay

Afterpay splits a fare into instalments and runs an eligibility check before approving a purchase. Late payments can trigger fees, so it's a plan to manage on a calendar, not to forget about.

Coverage varies by market; check Laters.com at checkout for availability.

View provider guide

Affirm

Longer monthly financing
Affirm

Affirm leans toward longer instalment terms rather than a quick pay-in-4 split, and some plans carry an APR alongside a credit check at application. It suits a traveller who wants the payments stretched further, not cleared in a month or two.

Coverage varies by market; check Laters.com at checkout for availability.

Tabby

Pay in 4 instalments
Tabby

Tabby divides the fare into smaller instalments, subject to approval and a credit check at checkout. Fees can apply if a payment is missed, so the schedule is worth confirming against your own payday.

Coverage varies by market; check Laters.com at checkout for availability.

Zip

Zip breaks a booking into a set of smaller payments, with a credit check and approval decision made before the plan starts. Interest or fees can apply depending on the plan, so check the specific terms on the Zip pay-later screen before confirming.

FAQs: Using Paidy to Book Flights

Everything you need to know about paying for flights with Paidy on Laters.com.

01Can I book flights with Paidy on Laters.com?

Yes. Laters.com lets travellers select Paidy at checkout, with plans such as the monthly consolidated bill (ηΏŒζœˆγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„) or the 3-Pay and 6-Pay instalment options offered depending on eligibility. Paidy is a Japan-only service settling in JPY, so this option appears for bookings made from Japan. Some plans carry late damages if a payment is missed, and eligibility is confirmed at checkout, so check paidy.com for current terms before you book.

02Which airlines can I pay for with Paidy on Laters.com?

All of them. Paidy sits at checkout as a payment method on Laters.com rather than something each airline switches on individually, so every carrier we sell can be booked this way when Paidy is available in your country. The plan you're offered, such as the monthly bill or 3-Pay instalments, depends on your Paidy account rather than the airline. A credit check and identity verification apply to some plans, so confirm details on paidy.com.

03Does paying with Paidy cost more than paying by card?

No. Laters.com adds no payment surcharge and no booking fee, so the fare shown for a Paidy booking is the same as paying by card. That said, missing a payment brings late damages of 14.6% per year plus a collection fee, and the monthly consolidated bill can carry a convenience-store payment fee if you don't use direct debit. The 3-Pay and 6-Pay plans carry no instalment fee when paid by direct debit or bank transfer, but check paidy.com for the fee schedule that applies to your account.

04How soon do I get my e-ticket when I pay with Paidy?

The e-ticket is issued once your Paidy payment is approved at checkout, in the same way as any other payment method on Laters.com. Approval for plans like 3-Pay or 6-Pay depends on identity verification in the Paidy app, which can add a short wait before the booking confirms. Once approved, your itinerary and ticket details arrive by email like any other booking. If verification is delayed, check your Paidy app for status before contacting Laters.com support.

05Is there a credit check when I use Paidy for flights?

It can involve one. Paidy runs identity verification through its app for the 3-Pay, 6-Pay, and 12-Pay instalment plans, and this review affects whether you're approved and which plans you're offered. A firm decision and any resulting credit line are between you and Paidy, not Laters.com. Because approval isn't guaranteed, don't book a fare you can't cover if you're declined, and check paidy.com for how its verification process works.

06What happens if I miss a Paidy payment for a flight booking?

You'll be charged late damages of 14.6% per year on the outstanding amount, plus a collection fee, on top of whatever you already owe for the fare. Missed payments can also be reported to credit reference agencies and may affect your credit standing going forward. This applies whether you're on the monthly consolidated bill or one of the instalment plans. If you think you'll miss a due date, contact Paidy directly through paidy.com before it happens rather than after.

07Which countries can I use Paidy from on Laters.com?

Japan is the only market where Paidy is offered on Laters.com. Paidy is a Japan-only service settling in JPY, marketed locally as γ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„γƒšγ‚€γƒ‡γ‚£, and it isn't available for bookings made from outside Japan. If you're booking from elsewhere, Laters.com will show you the payment methods available in your country instead. Check paidy.com for the most current statement of where the service operates.

08Which Paidy plan works best for an expensive long-haul fare?

The 12-Pay instalment plan (12ε›žγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„) is built for larger purchases, spreading a fare over 12 monthly instalments with no instalment fee when paid by direct debit or bank transfer. It requires identity verification in the Paidy app and a minimum purchase of Β₯12,000 per order. Missing a payment still brings late damages of 14.6% per year, so treat the monthly instalment as a firm commitment rather than a formality. Confirm current minimums and availability for your account on paidy.com.

09Does using Paidy affect my credit score?

Not when you pay on time. Applying for instalment plans like 3-Pay or 6-Pay involves identity verification that can appear on your Paidy record, and a missed payment can be reported to credit reference agencies, which may affect your credit standing. Paying the monthly consolidated bill or instalments as scheduled is generally how travellers avoid any negative mark. For specifics on how Paidy reports activity, check paidy.com directly.

10What happens to my Paidy repayments if my flight is cancelled or refunded?

A refund reduces what you owe Paidy, but the mechanics depend on which plan you're on and when the airline processes the refund relative to your billing cycle. On the monthly consolidated bill, a refund arriving before the statement closes should adjust the amount due; on 3-Pay, 6-Pay, or 12-Pay, remaining instalments are typically recalculated against the refunded amount. Until Paidy confirms the adjustment, scheduled instalments may still be collected on time. Contact Paidy support through paidy.com to confirm how a specific refund will be applied to your account.

11Can I use Paidy for international or multi-stop flight itineraries?

Yes. Paidy applies to the total fare charged at checkout rather than to any particular route, so international and multi-stop itineraries are treated the same as a domestic single-leg booking. What decides which plans you see, such as the monthly bill or the 3-Pay and 6-Pay instalments, is the country you're booking from rather than the route you're flying. Since Paidy settles in JPY and is offered from Japan, bookings made from Japan are what qualify. Late damages of 14.6% per year still apply to any missed payment regardless of itinerary complexity.

12Is a Paidy pay-in-30-style deferral really free, and what's the catch?

The ηΏŒζœˆγ‚γ¨ζ‰•γ„ plan carries no instalment fee, and settling by direct debit is free, so paying next month costs nothing extra if you pay on time. The catch is the payment method: paying by convenience store carries a Β₯390 payment fee, and missing the due date brings a Β₯250 collection fee plus late damages of 14.6% per year. All purchases in a given month are also consolidated into one bill, so a flight booking gets bundled with anything else you bought on Paidy that month. Check paidy.com for the exact billing dates that apply to your account.

13Do airline miles and status benefits still accrue when I pay with Paidy?

Generally, yes, because Paidy is a payment method at checkout on Laters.com rather than a separate booking channel, so mileage and status credit should accrue exactly as they would with any other payment method, tied to your frequent flyer number on the booking. Paidy itself doesn't run a loyalty program layered on top of this. Since approval for instalment plans depends on identity verification and a missed payment brings late damages of 14.6% per year, treat the credit side and the loyalty side as entirely separate. Confirm mileage-earning specifics with the airline rather than Paidy.

14Can I book a premium cabin or business class fare with Paidy?

It can work, since Paidy applies to the fare total rather than the cabin class, so a business class or premium economy booking on Laters.com can use the same plans as an economy fare, subject to approval. Higher fares are more likely to need one of the instalment plans, such as 6-Pay or 12-Pay, both of which require identity verification in the Paidy app and carry late damages of 14.6% per year if a payment is missed. Minimum purchase thresholds apply per order for the instalment plans. Check paidy.com to confirm what's available for a higher-value booking.

15Can I change or cancel a flight booked with Paidy?

Yes, subject to the airline's own change and cancellation rules, which apply the same way regardless of payment method. Any refund due gets applied against what you still owe Paidy, though the exact adjustment depends on your plan and billing cycle, whether that's the monthly consolidated bill or an instalment plan like 3-Pay or 6-Pay. Scheduled instalments may still be collected until Paidy processes the adjustment, and late damages of 14.6% per year still apply to any payment missed in the meantime. Contact Paidy through paidy.com to confirm how a specific cancellation affects your balance.

16Do I need an existing Paidy account to book flights on Laters.com?

You'll need one, since Paidy plans on Laters.com run through your own Paidy account and app, where identity verification is required for the 3-Pay, 6-Pay, and 12-Pay instalment options. Setting one up ties your payment to Paidy's own credit assessment rather than anything handled on Laters.com. Approval isn't guaranteed, and once approved, missed payments bring late damages of 14.6% per year plus a collection fee. Visit paidy.com to set up or check the status of an account before you book.

About Paidy and Laters.com

Buy Now Pay Later Flights with Paidy

Who is Paidy?

Paidy is a Japan-focused buy now, pay later service that lets shoppers and, increasingly, travellers settle purchases the following month or in instalments rather than at the till. It began as a way to pay for everyday online shopping without a credit card, and it has since grown into a widely used consumer credit option across Japanese retail, with flights sitting alongside that broader footprint as one more purchase a traveller can defer.

The company was founded in Tokyo in 2014 by Russell Cummer and Tempei Takeuchi, and traded for a period under the name Exchange Corporation before adopting the Paidy brand. It operates as a licensed provider of deferred payment and instalment credit in Japan, and was acquired by PayPal in 2021, a milestone that brought fresh backing after years as an independent fintech navigating Japan's tightly regulated consumer credit space. Ownership by a listed global payments company doesn't erase the fact that Paidy itself remains a Japan-market specialist rather than a global player, and that's worth knowing before you count on it elsewhere. Borrow only what you're confident you can repay on the agreed schedule, whatever the plan. For current terms, eligibility and any changes to how Paidy works, check paidy.com directly.

Booking with Paidy on Laters.com

Paidy is not yet available as a payment option on Laters.com. It's coming soon, so if you were hoping to search a route, pick a Paidy plan such as the monthly consolidated bill or the 3-Pay and 6-Pay instalments, and have your e-ticket issued once payment is approved, that flow isn't live here yet. When it does arrive, expect the same conditions Paidy applies everywhere: some plans run at no instalment fee when paid on time, others involve a credit check, approval, and the possibility of late charges if a payment is missed.

In the meantime, Laters.com already offers other flexible payment methods at checkout, and we'd rather point you to one of those than promise something we can't deliver today. Whichever payment method you use, Laters.com remains the merchant of record issuing the ticket, the fare carries no extra payment surcharge or booking fee, and you won't need a credit card to complete a booking. Check back here for updates on Paidy support, or explore the other pay-later options currently live on the site.

Laters.com earns from the fare as the merchant, the same whichever payment method you choose; no payment provider pays for placement on this page.

How pay-later flight bookings work

A flight booking and a repayment plan run on different schedules. Our guide explains the practical questions to consider before splitting a fare.

  • What changes when you pay for a flight in instalments
  • How to compare the total cost and repayment dates
  • Why a flight change or refund does not automatically end the payment plan
  • How a worked example divides a fare into payments
Paidy is a credit product

Borrowing responsibly means only committing to instalments you can genuinely afford. Missed payments can result in late fees, may be reported to credit reference agencies, and may affect your credit standing and your ability to borrow in future. Visit Paidy’s own terms for current terms, eligibility criteria and country-specific plan availability. Laters.com is the new name for Fly Fairly; nothing about your booking or support changes.
