In today’s fast-paced world, convenience is king, and when it comes to making payments online, the simpler, the better. Eden’s platform recognises this need and introduces a feature designed to streamline your checkout experience: Split Payments. This feature makes your checkout as seamless as you want it to be.

 

Have you ever wanted to buy something from a store on Eden but found your wallet balance or credit wasn’t enough? That’s where split payments shine. With Eden’s split payments, you can combine your Eden wallet balance with other payment methods, like your card or Paystack, to complete your purchase without any hassle. Not only that, you can also make use of vouchers or even Eden Apples (rewards you’ve collected over time while using the platform) to reduce costs. Let’s dive into how split payments work and how you can take full advantage of this innovative feature.

 

Why Split Payments Matter

Split payments provide flexibility. Imagine you’re purchasing an item but don’t have enough balance in your Eden wallet. Instead of waiting to top up, you can split the payment between your wallet and other methods, like your debit card. This means fewer delays, fewer missed opportunities, and a better shopping experience.

You can use multiple methods in a single transaction, letting you customize how you pay for things based on what’s most convenient at the moment.

 

 

Available Payment Methods

 

 

The Eden checkout process supports various payment methods, ensuring flexibility and convenience. Here’s a quick rundown:

1. Wallet: Your default payment method, where you store funds for purchases.
2. Card Payment: You can use any saved debit or credit card to complete the transaction.
3. Paystack: Another payment gateway for those who prefer a third-party option.
4. Pay for Me: This is a feature that allows someone else to cover the bill on your behalf.

With this variety of payment options, you’re never restricted to just one way of paying.

 

How Split Payments Work

Now, let’s walk through how you can actually split your payment at checkout.

1. Select Your Item: Add the items you want to purchase to your cart.

 

 

2. Proceed to Checkout: When you’re ready to complete your order, click on the checkout button.

 

3. Choose Split Payment: During the checkout process, you’ll see an option that says “Use with money in wallet.”

Check this box if you want to split your payment between your wallet balance and another method, like your card.

 

 

For example, let’s say your total payment is ₦5300.00, but your wallet balance is only ₦1151.00. By selecting the split payment option, ₦1151.00 will be deducted from your wallet, and the remaining ₦4149.00 will be charged to your card. Your wallet balance will be reduced to ₦0.00, while your card covers the rest. Easy, right?

This same process applies if you’re using other payment methods like Paystack or the “Pay for Me” option. You can even combine vouchers or Eden Apples to further reduce your payment.

 

 

Maximizing Savings with Eden Apples and Vouchers

Aside from split payments, Eden also offers other ways to save during checkout. Eden Apples, a rewards system where you accumulate points through app usage, can be redeemed to offset costs. You can also apply vouchers for discounts, further reducing the amount you’ll need to pay from your wallet or card.

The more you use the app, the more rewards you earn, and those can translate into real savings during checkout.  Whether you’re using your wallet balance, cards, vouchers, or Eden Apples, you have multiple ways to customize how you pay.
