Try makes upfront payment obsolete. Imagine if you had to pay upfront to take clothes into a fitting room. That would be insane. That is ecommerce today. This is largely because the credit card, an archaic 1950s invention, was never designed to support the online use case. That's why we've chosen to innovate on the global payments network to achieve our mission. For some categories, mostly homogenous goods, technology has brought value and efficiencies beyond our wildest dreams. For other categories like fashion, electronics, home goods and many others, shopping can be an intensely emotional decision and thus requires a sufficiently human touch. Somewhere along our journey of driving efficiency we lost sight of our human need to Try. And it truly is a universal human need. It transcends geographical boundaries, age ranges, cultures, languages and societal norms. It has existed for centuries and will exist long into the future. We're building a future that will empower hundreds of millions of people around the world to Try something new. How it works: 1. Browse Visit a retailers site and do your thing Try up to 5 pieces of clothing when you sign up. Watch your limit increase the more you TRY. 2. Try Click TRY to checkout for free We place the order for you, so you don’t have to front any money. 3. Decide Only pay for what you keep Doesn’t fit? Hate the color? Send it back and never have to wait for refunds again.
