About this block

Installments Honest Math prints the BNPL arithmetic in four mono rows: the $185 split into 4 payments of $46.25, the fortnightly schedule, the $0 fee when every payment lands on time, and the $7 per missed installment charged by the provider. Then the block turns: if four payments on a bag would strain the month, the $90 lookalike is the better answer and it was said so on the pricing page rather than hidden here.

Lines are one array in tabular mono. The late fee row and the lookalike paragraph are the two things the split button on a typical store never shows, which is the whole reason this block exists.

When to use

Reach for this block on the checkout page alongside the installments option, or linked from a pricing transparency page. The $90 lookalike reference needs a real product on the product grid or the redirect lands nowhere.

A natural flow around it on an Ecommerce Pro page:

What you can display

One strong use is the four payment bag example. Other installment explainers:

• Six payment version. Longer split for higher ticket items with the same fee row.
• Subscription math. Per delivery savings against the commitment cost, same mono register.
• Membership math. The sibling explainer for the annual fee with losing profiles included.

Tip: the paragraph that names the cheaper product and says so on the pricing page converts the honest reader more reliably than hiding the alternative and hoping they do not find it.
