SAN JOSE, Calif.--Just in time for the summer shopping season, Overstock.com, Inc. (Nasdaq:OSTK) is giving shoppers the ability to shop now and pay later with the promotional financing service, PayPal Pay Later.
“Since launching in Q4 of last year, PayPal has continued to add value to our website and our customers. Adding PayPal Pay Later as an additional way to pay allows us to continue to give our customers the best options at the best value,” Patrick Byrne, chairman and chief executive officer of Overstock.com.
