Why We Don’t Offer Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) at Good Tuesday
At Good Tuesday, we're passionate about creating more than just beautifully practical stationery —we're committed to building a business that reflects our values of transparency, sustainability, and customer well-being. As a B Corp certified company, every decision we make is guided by our mission to have a positive impact on the world, and that includes how we offer our products to you. Today, we want to share why we’ve chosen not to include Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services as part of our shopping experience.
Prioritising Your Financial Well-being
When you shop with Good Tuesday, you’re not just purchasing a product; you’re joining a community that cares about more than just the bottom line. BNPL services can make it tempting to spend more than you might have intended, breaking down payments into smaller, seemingly manageable chunks. However, this can often lead to financial stress, as the ease of spending now can result in unanticipated debt later.
As a B Corp, we’re committed to ensuring that our business practices support the financial well-being of our customers. By choosing not to offer BNPL, we’re taking a stand to protect you from the risks of overspending and the potential pitfalls of debt accumulation.
The Hidden Costs of BNPL
While BNPL might appear to be a convenient and interest-free option, it can sometimes come with hidden costs. Missed payments can lead to unexpected fees, and in some cases, can even affect your credit score. We believe in being upfront and honest about the true cost of the products we offer, and we want to ensure that your experience with us is stress-free from start to finish.
At Good Tuesday, we believe that part of being a responsible business is encouraging responsible spending. We want every purchase you make with us to be a thoughtful one—something that brings you joy, not something that could lead to financial strain down the road.
Encouraging Conscious Consumerism
Our products are designed to bring beauty and functionality to your everyday life, from the perfect planner that keeps you organised to the stylish notepad that adds a touch of fun to your desk. We want you to love what you buy, and we want those purchases to be ones you feel great about in the long term.
BNPL services can sometimes encourage impulse buying, leading to purchases that don’t align with your true needs or values. By not offering BNPL, we’re reinforcing our commitment to conscious consumerism—helping you make choices that are in harmony with your financial goals and our shared values.
Staying True to Our Mission
Our decision to forgo BNPL isn’t just about avoiding risk—it’s about staying true to the values that Good Tuesday was founded on. We believe in transparency, responsibility, and building a community that’s based on trust and care. We want you to feel confident that when you shop with us, you’re making a purchase that’s good for you, for the planet, and for your future.
Thank You for Supporting Our Ethical Journey
We’re incredibly grateful to have customers who support a small, values-driven business like Good Tuesday. Your choice to shop with us allows us to continue creating high-quality, sustainably sourced stationery that you can feel good about using every day. Together, we can make a positive impact—one beautifully crafted piece of stationery at a time.
Thank you for understanding and supporting our decision to prioritise your well-being by not offering BNPL. We’re here to help you find the stationery you need to organise your life, in style, without compromising your financial health or our shared commitment to ethical practices.
