Months Without Interests (MSI - Meses sin intereses)

Months Without Interests (known in Mexico as Meses sin intereses) lets you offer to your customers the possibility to pay in a defined number of interest-free installments (3, 6, 9, 12, or 18). Unlike the promotions model, when using MSI you don’t need to query the promotion id.

To request the usage of MSI, contact your sales representative.
