Sunnyvale, Calif. – August 17, 2021 –Uplift, the leading enterprise Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solution serving the world’s top travel brands, has announced a new partnership with Tripster – the premier all-in-one travel booking site for one stop destination trip planning. Tripster customers can easily plan their entire vacation in one place and pay over time with surprise-free monthly installments through Uplift.

When booking on Tripster, customers can choose from more than 30 destinations across the United States and easily package hotel accommodations, experiences, theme park tickets and more all with just a few clicks. Customers can build their own vacation package and bundle these purchases for immediate savings. Tripster takes great pride in vetting every experience and destination to get the most out of each vacation complete with side by side comparisons and customer reviews to ensure the best experience imaginable.

“Tripster has always believed that a vacation shouldn’t feel like work. With the addition of flexible payment options through Uplift, we’ve taken one more potential stress point out of travel planning by allowing our customers to spread the cost of their vacation over low monthly payments,” said John Johnson, Founder & CEO for Tripster. “We selected Uplift as our exclusive BNPL partner. Uplift offered us the best suite of tools to help deepen our customer loyalty and increase average order values.”

Uplift is seamlessly integrated into the Tripster booking process, on all platforms including desktop and mobile.  Customers will see the total cost at the time of booking along with the monthly payment amount making it easy to budget for and experience the vacation they deserve.  There are no late fees or prepayment penalties and customers can travel even before they are finished making their payments.

Uplift partners with more than 200+ of the world’s leading airlines, cruise lines, resorts and other major travel brands to offer BNPL payment options that help people make meaningful purchases and get the most out of their travel experiences.
