Is there the possibility of buying in installments? I don’t see options in the shopping cart and so on.
Hi and welcome to the forum,
What do you mean by this, please?
I’m sorry my English is very bad and that’s how the translator put it. I mean pay month by month.
Use some sort of personal credit card that itself allows you to make monthly payments to the card issuer.
Perhaps you have a credit card that allows you no-interest if you pay your balance in x amount of time.
If you don’t have a credit card like that….get one

What @DosWasBest said.
I’ve heard of some vendors who offer monthly payments but you got to check their websites - Steinberg/FastSpring do not offer such an option.
There’s also Splice: Rent-To-Own with a monthly payment over a period of time.

fyi - that’s regular English. But now that I thought about the word it seems quite strange!

Thank you DosWasBest and Reco29. I am already looking at the websites and I will look at how to finance with my bank/trade.
Paypal has two options:
One is Pay in 4 which splits the purchase price over 4 bi-weekly payments with no interest charges.
The other spreads the cost over monthly payments (variable) but interest is involved.

Actually surprised Steinberg don’t offer rent to own as a payment option considering the new licensing system.
Steinberg isnt a direct retailer, sales are handled by FastSpring on the website, so it would be up to them really.
The bank is the best bet, most nowadays have a ‘pay plan’ type of thing. I use Chase and I have two options.. With my regular debit card, I can use a ‘Pay in 4’ type of thing, but if I use my Chase credit card, the credit card has its own ‘financing options’ for stuff like this. I have several payment terms available, the only catch is, the longer you make it, the more of a ‘administrative fee’ you pay, but its still nowhere near what your interest would be if you let the credit card roll over every month with an outstanding balance.

Let’s be honest, if Steinberg wanted it, it would happen!
FastSpring is merely their payment processor (all e-tailers pretty much rely on a payment processor like FastSpring), they don’t decide these things, and out of curiosity, I checked and they do offer flexible subscription payment.
No doubt the so called “admin fee” will be higher with more payments to process, but they should certainly look into it, can be applicable to all their products, perhaps above a minimum amount.
Haha …what would be more strange is “layaway” straight out of the 1950s….
“um yeah, I’d like to make payments on that new Cubase and once paid off, I’ll come in to pick it up in February”
