We currently offer Afterpay to US customers.
What is Afterpay?
Afterpay is a buy now, pay later payment solution that allows you to order online with us at any time and pay for it at a later date in 4 easy interest-free installments.
Am I eligible?
To be eligible to use Afterpay, you must be over 18 years of age, place your order within US, live in the US and have a debit/credit card. Afterpay will also make an assessment of your eligibility at the point of checkout.
For US Customers, a minimum spend of $35 USD applies to be eligible for AfterPay.
How does it work?
If you are a regular Afterpay customer, you will pay nothing upfront when you place your order. Your order total will then be debited by Afterpay every 2 weeks in four equal 25% installments.
If you are new to Afterpay, the first instalment will be debited at time of checkout. 2 weeks later, your second installments will be debited.
Prior to every debit, Afterpay will contact you via email and SMS to let you know of your upcoming debit. If funds are not available or you otherwise do not make your payment when it is due, late fees may apply. Click here for complete terms.
Can I get a refund?
If you checkout using Afterpay and decide you'd like to return your item, you are welcome to return your item within 14 days of receiving it. Once we receive your return, we will cancel your payment plan with Afterpay and you will be refunded any paid amounts to date.
Your first payment will either be due at checkout or 2 weeks after your purchase. The next 3 remaining installments will be automatically charged to your card saved on Shop Pay every 2 weeks. And don't worry, you'll get an email reminder before each payment to keep you in the know.
