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.

Paying with HeyLight
The only things customers need to pay with HeyLight are a smartphone and a credit or debit card. The following steps outline the payment process from the customer's perspective.
The customer selects "HeyLight" as the payment solution at checkout:
In the next step, the customer selects the number of installments in which the amount will be settled.
The customer enters their mobile phone number.
The customer receives a 6-digit verification code via SMS, which they must use to verify their phone number.
In the next step, the customer provides their date of birth and residence status in Switzerland.
The customer enters their address details and clicks "Continue".
In the final step, enter the card details (only credit and debit cards issued in Switzerland by Visa, Mastercard, and American Express are accepted).
After clicking the "Continue" button, the customer is redirected to Payrexx, completing the payment process.
The first installment is charged directly to the customer's credit or debit card, with subsequent installments automatically debited according to the selected payment plan.
The merchant receives the full amount, minus transaction fees, in a timely manner from HeyLight.
For higher amounts, customers may need to verify their identity through a fully automated identity check (ID Check).
