You’ve got your online shop up and running. Now it’s time to bring in more customers. And that’s where Afterpay (also known as Clearpay in the United Kingdom and Europe) can help.

How it works

Afterpay and Clearpay are a Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) platform that lets your customers get what they want now then pay for their purchase in interest-free installments over a short period of time (between 6 weeks and 60 days depending on what region you’re in). It’s completely free for customers who pay on time and a great way to help them manage their purchases and budget.

Here’s how it works for you

1 Customers purchase items from you using Afterpay or Clearpay

2 You get paid upfront

3 You track your orders & payments through the merchant portal.

4 Afterpay or Clearpay takes on the risk of fraud and late payments.

BNPL spending is on the rise

While credit card purchases have flatlined over the past two years, the same cannot be said for BNPL. Between January 2020 and November 2021, BNPL spending globally was up +300%1 as more customers embraced a cashless, credit-free lifestyle. And it’s proving especially popular with Gen Z and Millennials, who are looking for new paths to financial freedom.
