At the tail end of 2017, Asos rolled out a Try Before You Buy service, powered by Klarna Pay Later. This lets UK app customers try products at home and only pay for what they want to keep, within 30 days of their order being dispatched – also with no interest or fees. “We are constantly looking for new ways to improve the Asos experience for our 15.4 million customers around the world,” said Nicola Thompson, Global Trading Director at Asos. “We know people love the option of paying later only for the things they keep and are excited to introduce this for customers shopping on our app in the UK.”
