Afterpay is a buy now, pay later service that lets customers pay for an order in four instalments while the retailer is paid upfront, less a merchant fee. We scope how Afterpay fits your checkout, product pages and margins, set it up on your Shopify store and map how its payouts reach Xero so your finance team can reconcile them.
We look at your average order value, product range and margins before recommending where Afterpay should appear.
We set up Afterpay in your Shopify checkout and configure on-site messaging for product and cart pages.
Test orders, refunds and payouts are run through to Xero before go-live, and your team is shown how to manage refunds.
Afterpay's instalment messaging is placed on product and cart pages, so a customer sees the four-payment price while they're deciding.
Afterpay sits in the same Shopify checkout as card payments and any other options you offer, configured and tested together.
Afterpay charges the retailer a fee on each order. We map where it applies across your product range, so the decision to offer it is made against your real margins.
Afterpay settlements are mapped into Xero with fees separated out, so each payout matches the orders behind it.
