Installments rules and availability
This feature divides the total price to pay into several smaller, equal amounts due to pay over an agreed period of time, instead of requiring the customer to pay everything up front in a single payment. This method is widely used in LATAM markets and allows customers to have greater flexibility, but its implementation depends on card support availability and must comply with regional regulations.
