Acquérir un bien dont le paiement est différé. En général ce genre d'achat donne lieu au paiement d'intérêts, mais si tous les acheteurs payent à crédit (une encyclopédie, par exemple), les intérêts s'ajoutent au prix initial et il n'y a pas de réduction en cas de paiement comptant, pour faire semblant de ne pas toucher des intérêts.

DEF

Adquirir un bien aplazando el pago a un momento posterior. En general este tipo de compra da lugar a intereses, aunque si todos los compradores pagan a plazos (por ejemplo, una enciclopedia) los intereses se suman al precio inicial y no hay descuento por pago al contado, para dar la apariencia de que no se cobran intereses.
