Sezzle enables customers to amortize their purchase to their credit card over four interest-free payments with no credit checks. The payment solution is gaining major traction as it provides a sense of affordability, giving customers an incentive to purchase larger ticket items with four smaller payments over a six-week timeline.

"We are pleased to be adopting this progressive payment solution for our Jusu Bar customers," says Penny White, CEO of Better Plant. "We understand that modern consumers prefer more flexible and innovative payment solutions. Our goal is to deliver an incredible experience through all touchpoints of the consumer journey."

As of 2020, Sezzle is the highest-rated Buy Now, Pay Later platform, and has amassed nearly 2 million active customers with more than 16,000 retail partners.

According to CGK National Research Study from April 2020, 69% of millennials say they would try shopping at a new store if it offered installment payment plans.

"Jusu Bar is an ideal brand for us to complete a trial run of Sezzle's platform. The juice cleanses are a bigger ticket item, and splitting payments into four interest-free installments may encourage more first-time consumers to try the product," added White. "Plus, because Sezzle does not impact the customer's credit, and the company still gets paid in full. It is a win-win situation."

Sezzle announced on March 29, 2021 that it was certified as a B Corp. Companies that are B Corp-certified have met specific standards relating to how the company's profits and resources are used to support a public benefit. B Corps are for-profit companies that consider the needs of broader constituents of stakeholders including community, employees, and society. B Corp Certification involves measuring a company's entire social and environmental performance by evaluating how its operations and business model impact the workers, community, environment, and customers.

ASX Cannabis Stocks: 10 Biggest Companies

While Australia has yet to legalise all forms of cannabis, the country is a growing medical cannabis and hemp market, with many companies manufacturing, researching and exporting the plant-based product.

Medical cannabis was federally legalised in 2016, and the export of cannabis from Australia was legalised in 2018. As for recreational use, the only state to legalise recreational use and possession so far is the Australian Capital Territory, which did so in 2020, but it did not establish a regulated recreational cannabis market.

The country's medical cannabis market has been steadily expanding in size and scope. A Penington Institute report shows that Australians spent approximately AU$400 million on medicinal cannabis in the first half of 2024, 72 percent higher than the AU$234 million they spent over the entirety of 2022.
