I made a purchase a few weeks ago and took the Sezzle option out of sheer curiosity.

Instead of one big payment, it's four interest-free payments over six weeks billed directly to my CC. At no extra cost, but that splits it into three separate CC statements.

Cool, and I like that.

But I'm struggling to figure out how that would be profitable to Sezzle? Are they charging the retailer a service fee? If so, isn't the retailer losing money on the sale? Or does having Sezzle as an option actually increase sales volume?
