How Afterpay works
Afterpay is a Buy Now Pay Later payment method that allows your customers to split purchases into four payments over a period of six weeks or longer termed monthly installments, while you get the full payment amount upfront.
To pay with Afterpay, customers are redirected to Afterpay’s site, where they either sign up or login to authorize the payment by agreeing to the terms of a payment plan:
