- If approved, shoppers have the flexibility to split their purchase into four equal installments over their chosen repayment period.
- The first installment is collected immediately at the time of purchase.
- The remaining three installments are charged automatically according to the repayment schedule.
- Shoppers can choose to split payments over 4, 6, 8, or 12 months.
- Payment is confirmed instantly once completed.

Background pre-scoring check
In some cases, Tabby may not approve a shopper's use of this payment method. If this occurs, the shopper will see the following message "Sorry, Tabby is unable to approve this purchase. Please use an alternative payment method for your order.".
