Card EMI
Let them take it over months.
When a basket is large enough to stall a checkout, a customer paying by card can take it in monthly instalments from one of nine partner banks — three months to thirty-six. It runs on the same hosted checkout as everything else, and you are settled the same way.
What is available
Nine banks, eight terms
The EMI fee is held per bank and per term, so a nine-month plan at one bank and a nine-month plan at another are not the same offer. All nine banks carry three, six, nine, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four months; the two longest terms are offered on fewer of them.

The bank's EMI fee is a percentage of the order, applied once. It is not an annual rate, and it does not compound over the term.
Who pays for it
The EMI fee is a setting, not a surprise
Two fees ride on an EMI payment: the bank's EMI fee, and a Moneybag EMI processing fee. Together they are the EMI charge, and one switch on your account decides which side of the counter it falls on. Unless you ask for it to be turned on, the customer pays it — that is the default.
Default
The customer pays it
The EMI charge is added to what the card is charged. It changes what the customer pays, not what reaches you.

On request
You absorb it
The EMI charge is not added to the card. It comes out of your settlement instead, which is lower by exactly the amount you took on — no more, and no percentage on top.

This switch is separate from the one that decides who carries your ordinary service charge, and the two can be set differently. Both are configured with Moneybag when EMI is enabled on your account — along with which banks you offer and the order range they apply to — rather than changed in the dashboard.
At the checkout
Three steps, and none of them yours to build
- 01
When you open the session
You ask for it
EMI is off unless the order asks for it, so it never appears on a basket you did not mean to offer it on. Your payment link asks for it on every payment, without you doing anything.
- 02
Before the page draws
The checkout works out what this basket qualifies for
Only the banks whose amount range covers this order, and only the terms that are active for it. A basket below the floor simply shows no EMI, with nothing to explain away.
- 03
On the checkout
The customer chooses a bank and a term
They pick one plan from the list and pay by card. The bank and the term ride with the payment, and land on the transaction record as their own row.
EMI is a card feature. Plans are built only on card routes, so bKash, Nagad, Rocket and upay show on the checkout as they always do — as a single payment, with no instalment option beside them. A customer who wants to spread the cost pays by card.
Afterwards
Everything past the checkout is the same
You are not lending anything and you are not waiting on instalments. The payment reaches you as one payment, on the ordinary schedule — nothing about it is keyed to the term the customer chose.
-
The same settlement
On the cycle agreed in your merchant agreement, released by a person. An EMI payment does not sit in a different queue or wait for the customer's instalments to finish.
-
The same transaction list
An EMI payment is an ordinary transaction you can filter for, with the bank, the term and the full fee breakdown kept on a record of its own beside it.
-
The bank's share is not yours to move
The bank's part of the EMI fee is settled to that bank by Moneybag, out of the same payment. It is not an invoice you receive or a transfer you make.
What reaches you
Your settlement is the order amount less whatever you have chosen to absorb — the service charge, the EMI charge, both or neither. Where the customer carries both, what reaches you is the order amount.
