​​Accept Payments with Afterpay on Square Online FAQ

With Afterpay enabled for your website, your customers can order online and check out as usual. When they get to your checkout page, they can select the Afterpay option and sign in to their Afterpay account to complete and pay for their order. The first payment is due at checkout, and the final three payments are due every two weeks starting from the purchase date. All installment payments are interest-free.

For example, if a total order costs $100, the buyer will pay the first $25 upon completion of the transaction. Then, they’ll pay $25 every two weeks from the transaction date until the order total is paid off. This means the buyer will complete their payments six weeks from the transaction date.
