DoorDash has announced a new partnership with Klarna, a financial company that lets customers schedule small payments over a set period of time. DoorDash customers will soon be able to use Klarna to pay for their food in four interest-free payments or defer payments and choose a “date that aligns with their paycheck schedules.”
Buy-now-pay-later services like Klarna are usually handy for holiday shopping or big-ticket items like furniture and appliances. But now, they’re pushing the idea of splitting up payments for fast food deliveries—calling it a “convenient option” for those struggling to afford everyday essentials. Some experts, though, worry this could just lead to people racking up more debt with every DoorDash order.
There’s no exact launch date yet, but we know it’s rolling out soon.
Curious what our team thinks about this?
Here’s what they had to say about whether they’d use buy-now-pay-later for fast food deliveries:
While initially I think it’s not a wise idea…but…as someone who grew up poor raised by my Grandma on just her social security alone, I know that there are probably some special occasions where parents would want to splurge and maybe get a special birthday dinner or something for their kids that they couldn’t afford right at that time. This would allow them a way to do that without taking an initial hit to their budget and would allow them to be able to spread out the cost of it.
This reminds of going to college and signing up for a credit card without knowing the possible consequences. I had a friend who would always volunteer his card to pay for dinners for the group, etc. Nice gesture but major financial consequences later. While I’m not sure if Klarna is charging interest for this payment option, but this will be a slippery slope for some. It might be too easy and then your food payments for dinner you ate months ago are still haunting you. I won’t be doing this but I just hope for those that do that they are doing it in a mindful way.
My biggest fear is teens using it. I think a lot of people forget Klarna can impact your credit score. All of that to say I don’t think it’s bad but it’s the same as a credit card – it can be used responsibly but it also can be soooo easy to lose track and end up in a hole. Especially when Doordash is already kinda this fun non-necessity we all know we shouldn’t use as often as we already do – lol.
