How to take payments using the Afterpay Card
Afterpay is a payment service that allows clients to pay for retail products, gift vouchers, services and packages, both online and in store. The business immediately receives the payment in full, while the client pays off their balance over four fortnightly instalments.
- Check out our Getting started with Afterpay guide for more information on Afterpay and how it works with Timely.
Afterpay is currently only supported in Australia and New Zealand.
Important information: Adding an Afterpay payment to an invoice locks the invoice for editing, so no further payments can be added.
How to take payments using the Afterpay Card
Afterpay Card is a contactless Mastercard (Australia) and Visa (New Zealand) stored in the customer's Apple or GooglePay wallet. Your client will complete a one-time card set-up flow via the Afterpay app to create their virtual Afterpay Card
For each purchase, the customer will open their Afterpay app to access their card, they can check their available Afterpay amount and then tap their phone on the card payment terminal to make their contactless payment purchase. As a merchant, you will process the transaction as a Mastercard (Australia) and Visa (New Zealand) prepaid card transaction.
