General

HeyLight, until 10 September 2024 known as HeidiPay, is a card-based buy-now-pay-later payment solution from Switzerland, offering merchants the ability to provide their customers with monthly payment plans. Merchants can choose whether to finance the purchases themselves or to pass the interest costs on to the customers. The merchant receives the full amount upfront, as HeyLight assumes the credit and fraud risks.
