Afterpay is a “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) service that allows users to make purchases and pay for them in installments over time.
It’s available for WooCommerce merchants with stores in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, Afterpay is known as Clearpay.
This payment gateway offers two ways to Buy Now Pay Later:
- Pay in 4: Split payments into four interest-free, payable in bi-weekly installments.
- Monthly Installments: Pay over 6 or 12 months with interest (available in the U.S., excluding West Virginia, New Mexico, Nevada, and Hawaii).
