UAE-based small business cannot offer buy now, pay later (BNPL) options to US customers due to merchant eligibility restrictions based on business location and payout country.
Existing BNPL providers (Shop Pay Installments, Affirm, Klarna, Afterpay) typically restrict merchant eligibility and settlement to specific countries, blocking UAE entities from offering these options to US customers even if the checkout appears available initially.
