How Afterpay works




How to apply Afterpay?
Setting up an Afterpay account is simple. To get the best experience, download the Afterpay app to sign up.

Credit checks are required for new customers, and you must be over the age of 18, provide some personal information, and link a valid debit or credit card to your account during the process. To make it quick and easy for you, Afterpay verify your identity electronically (rather than you having to do time-consuming paperwork).

How much can I spend?
If you’re an existing Afterpay shopper
Your outstanding payments may affect your ability to make another purchase
The number of purchases you currently have ‘open’ with us could affect your ability to make another purchase
Previous late payments—even those made before a late fee is charged—will reduce your spending limits on future purchases, both in store and online.
If you’re a new Afterpay shopper
We start new shoppers with a lower spending limit that typically increases over time with more purchases and good payment history.

Afterpay is a free service when you pay on time – there are no upfront fees charged or any interest incurred.
The only fees that may be incurred are late fees if your scheduled payments are unsuccessfully processed and, after being notified, you do not log in to your Afterpay account to make your payment via a different method.
We do everything we can for you to avoid late fees, including sending reminders leading up to the payment due date. We will charge a capped late fee of 25% for total orders below $40 & for each order of $40 or above, an initial $10 partial late fee will apply, and a further partial late fee (of up to $7) will also apply if the payment remains unpaid seven days after the due date. This approach will continue for all late instalments until the 25% cap is reached or the maximum late fee limit of $68.
We will take the first payment at the time you place an order with us. This is usually 25% of the total purchase price.
Received a notification at the checkout that there’s $0 due on the purchase date? Congratulations, this means that you have access to our No Payment Upfront feature! Your first payment will be delayed by up to 2 weeks from the purchase date. However, we still recommend having at least 25% of the purchase price available on your linked debit or credit card in case we run a pre-authorisation.
Please note: If you’re eligible for the No Payment Upfront feature and have a preferred payment day set up for your account, your first instalment will be due a minimum of 8 days and a maximum of 14 days from the purchase date to align with your preferred payment day.
First payment higher than the other three? For some purchases, if your total order amount exceeds your Afterpay-approved spending limit the first payment may be higher than subsequent payments. Afterpay will usually show you how the instalments are split before you pay and your payment schedule for every order is shown in the Afterpay app.
