Bayar Tempo Repayment

After we released the 1st version of BNPL, we did a research project to gather Toko Tani’s awareness about Semaai BNPL and uncover all of Toko Tani’s thoughts and experiences related to Bayar Tempo. From previous research, we found that Toko Tanis, who had done the repayment, still didn’t feel a smooth repayment process. They still need sales team help to do the repayment.

+32% repayment increased

With this improvement, we successfully make a repayment from use more manageable

Background

After we released the 1st version of BNPL, we did a research project to gather Toko Tani’s awareness about Semaai BNPL and uncover all of Toko Tani’s thoughts and experiences related to Bayar Tempo.

From previous research, we found that Toko Tanis, who had done the repayment, still didn’t feel a smooth repayment process. They still need sales team help to do the repayment.

Currently, we have 8 Toko Tanis that use the BNPL payment method and 7 of those 8 Toko Tanis have chosen the BNPL payment method more than one time. 

From those Toko Tanis who are using the Semaai BNPL payment method, we know that almost all of them still need the sales team’s help to do the repayment. The repayment process is considered as a complicated process and the Toko Tani’s did not understand how to do that. 

This condition would be a blocker to our effort to scaling up the BNPL usage, since if we are not solving it. Every repayment will be heavily dependent on the salesperson. 

To solve this problem, we need to find a repayment way that is easy for the users to finish by themselves. We need to conduct a research activity to meet with those Toko Tani’s who are using the Semaai BNPL method to deep dive into the user's experience in doing repayment for Bayar Tempo in general and their experience in doing the repayment in Semaai BNPL. We conducted user research to gain understanding of this problem.
