How Heroshe Split Pay Makes International Shipping Affordable
Sometimes, I think about the cost of shipping items internationally and start to sulk. Why does everything have to be so expensive? It is a general phenomenon, and I know you also feel it. Even the wealthy are not out of it—my uncle recently shipped some items for $720, and he was ranting about it, and I am like, ‘I thought you had money. Why are you complaining?’
What about me, who was excitedly adding items to my online shopping cart, only to be slapped with a shipping fee that doubled the cost? My friend said to cut my coat according to my size but “big big things nimo like.” So, how exactly am I supposed to cut my coat?
Enter Heroshe Split Pay.
For other Nigerians and me who are facing high shipping costs, Heroshe Split Pay is the easiest way to cut our clothes according to size. This feature is a game changer for affordable shipping, and in this article, we will discuss how it works and why it might just be the solution you have been looking for.
What is Split Pay?
Split Pay is a payment feature that lets you divide the cost of international shipping among multiple people. It is as simple as creating payment links, sharing them with friends, family, or customers, and having them pay for the shipment.
How it Works
The last item I needed to ship from the Heroshe warehouse in Texas to Nigeria cost about $50. I didn’t have the money, but I needed those items immediately. You probably think $50 is small, but fate didn’t trust me enough to fund me, so my brothers had to do the funding.
Setting Up Payment Links
I logged into my Heroshe account, proceeded to pay for my shipment, and clicked on the Split Pay option on the payment page. Three payment links were generated, and I input each person's name, email address, and the amount I wanted each of them to pay. I then copied the links and sent them to them via email and WhatsApp (Two-factor authentication 😂).
Payment and Updates
When my brothers got the link, they just had to click on it and be redirected to a payment gateway to make the payment. I also got the notification, so I did not have to ask them if they had made the payment.
Shipping and Pickup
My items were shipped to the Heroshe Lagos warehouse in less than 14 days, and the pickup process was seamless.As a personal shopper, this feature allows you
This is for me. What about you?
As a personal shopper, this feature allows you to get your friends and family to pay for your shipment.
As a business owner, dropshipper or mini importer, you don’t have to worry about shipping costs as you can share the payment links with your customers so they can pay for their shipment. With the help of the shipping calculator, they know the total cost they are paying, which helps them prepare better.
Benefits of Split Pay
Affordability:
Split Pay makes international shipping more affordable by allowing you to split the cost amongst others instead of paying the entire amount yourself. This can make a big difference, especially if you're shipping multiple items or heavy packages.
Convenience:
Split Pay is incredibly convenient. Your friends or family don't need to log into their Heroshe account or create one. The payment link you share does all the work, making the process smooth and stress-free.
Ease of Use:
Split Pay is designed to be user-friendly. Creating and sharing payment links is straightforward, and the platform is easy to navigate. This simplicity ensures that anyone can use it.
Security:
The people you share your payment links with do not have to know what you are shipping, as the feature promotes privacy.
Conclusion
Split Pay is a feature shaping the international shipping scene. It empowers you, the Nigerian shopper, the entrepreneur, and the fashionista, to access the world's goods without breaking the bank. It is about making international shipping an exciting adventure, not a financial burden.
