How Afterpay works.

What is Afterpay?

Afterpay gives shoppers the flexibility to pay 25% today and split their purchase into 4 interest-free payments, due every 2 weeks. Full eligibility criteria available at www.afterpay.com. It’s already available online, and now in participating doors.

How does Afterpay work?

When customers are ready to check out at participating retailers, they select Afterpay as their payment method. The customer pays 25% of the purchase total today. Afterpay settles with the retailer upfront. The customer then owes the remaining interest-free payments to Afterpay, which are automatically debited from their account every two weeks.

Zero Interest and No Fees when you pay on time

Afterpay does not charge interest on a customer’s purchase. There are no late fees when payments are made on time. If a customer misses a payment, they may be charged a late fee. They should refer to their Afterpay Installment Agreement for full terms and to learn more.

Why am I having trouble making a purchase with Afterpay?

If customers are having issues using Afterpay in your store, you should instruct them to reach out to Afterpay Customer Service:

  • In App Chat - it’s the quickest way to get a hold of us
  • Afterpay Customer Service Phone: 1.855.289.6014

That being said, here’s a couple General Troubleshooting Tips to help customers in the moment:

  • Ensure they are connected to WiFI or using data so the Afterpay Card can be activated in the app.
  • Make sure that the payment method saved in their Afterpay app is current and correct.
  • Did the customer access the Afterpay Card through the Afterpay app? It is essential that the customer click “Pay with Afterpay Card” to activate the Afterpay Card. If the customer opens the Card directly from their wallet, the Card will not activate, and the purchase will not be successful.
  • Does your store have a minimum or maximum purchase amount for Afterpay? Make sure those requirements have been met.

How does Afterpay work with split tender payments and returns?

Split tender payments work as they would with any other transaction. Start the transaction, select the amount the customer wishes to pay with Afterpay, and then they will tap their Afterpay Card to the chip reader to transact. The remaining amount owed can then be paid with the customer’s other payment method.

When a customer returns a split tender order, scan the receipt and verify with the customer the amount paid in the secondary form of payment (cash, credit, debit). Refund this payment method first. After you have refunded that amount, restore the amount paid with the Afterpay Card by asking the customer to tap their Afterpay Card at the NFC chip reader. Afterpay will restore funds to the customer’s original payment method within 5-7 business days. If the customer has questions, encourage them to contact Afterpay Customer Service
