What products are not eligible for purchase using Afterpay?

How does the payment schedule work?

Customers are required to make their first payment at the time of purchase. The remaining three payments are due every 2 weeks in equal installments and will be drawn from your selected payment method. If you would like to make additional unscheduled payments before they are due, you may log in to Afterpay to make your payments early.
You can log in to your Afterpay account anytime to view your payment schedule or make a payment before the next due date. 

Will I be notified when a payment is due?

Afterpay sends payment reminders via SMS and email prior to payments becoming due. It is also easy to view your orders and payment schedules on Afterpay.com or in the Afterpay App.

Can I pay early?

You can make payments anytime before your due date. If you'd like to make payments before your scheduled pay dates, you can do so through your Afterpay account. Just select the installment you'd like to pay early and hit 'Pay Now.'

What if I can't pay an Afterpay installment?

If you do not make a payment when due or funds are unavailable, you will be charged a late payment fee if the payment is not made within 10 days. For more information, visit the Afterpay Payment Purchase Agreement.
