Add Afterpay to Your Shop

You can set up Afterpay, a post-payment service, in your Shop settings. Afterpay is a service that splits the cost of an order into four equal parts, letting a customer pay in four interest-free payments that are due every two weeks. While customers pay in installments, you receive the amount upfront and in full.

Using Afterpay

Paying in installments is available to orders that fall in the $30 – $1,000 range. Afterpay splits the order total (the sum of the product price, shipping cost, taxes, etc) into four equal parts that can be paid off by buyers over time, free of interest.

The option to use Afterpay will automatically appear for any product that has a listed price between $30 and $1,000.

When the buyer proceeds to the checkout, the installments are recalculated to factor in the updated order cost if it’s changed due to shipping costs, applied discounts, taxes, etc.

In case a product price is lower than $30 but the order total is higher (due to the shipping cost, for instance), the Afterpay post-payment offer will not be displayed on the product page but it will still be offered for such order as a payment method at checkout.

To pay for their order in installments, first-time buyers will be directed to the Afterpay website to register and provide credit card details. If they’ve used Afterpay before, then they just need to log in to Afterpay and complete their purchase.

Buyers will pay the first installment during checkout, and will need to pay the other three parts every 2 weeks. Buyers can check their payment schedule in their Afterpay account dashboard at any time.

You as a merchant receive the full amount from Afterpay the day after the order is placed.
