About accepting Clearpay
Buy now, pay later — or BNPL — is a payment option where a customer pays off a purchase over time while sellers get paid the full amount immediately. With Clearpay, customers pay in four interest-free instalments over six weeks.
Before you begin
-
When customers pay with Clearpay, you will receive the full payment upfront and at no risk to your business.
Clearpay in 4 can be used for in-person purchases up to £1,000.
Clearpay makes an instant approval decision at the time of purchase based on the specific consumer and the order, which may result in a customer’s order being declined at the time of transaction. This will be communicated to customers within their Clearpay app.
To process Clearpay in-person transactions, customers must tap their Clearpay Card via their digital wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay.
Enable Clearpay payments
- Sign in to Square Dashboard and go to Settings > Account & settings > Payments > Payment methods.
- Next to Clearpay, click (•••) > Edit.
- Toggle on In Person.
- Click Save.
Accept Clearpay payments in-person
Once you've enabled Clearpay, you can accept payments as you normally would with any other payment option. To start:
Add items to the cart or enter a custom amount. The total transaction must be between £1.00 and £1,000.
Tap Review sale > Charge.
The customer can open their digital Clearpay Card and tap their mobile device to Square hardware or compatible device, if using Tap to Pay.
Send a digital receipt via text or email, or print the receipt as proof of purchase.
The customer will see the transaction via their Clearpay app starting with SQ*. If your customer requires assistance with their Clearpay account, refer them to the Clearpay Help Centre. They can also message the Clearpay Support Team via their app.
