Accept Payments with Afterpay on Square Online
Afterpay is a buy now, pay later (BNPL) service that allows customers to pay for online orders in four interest-free payments over six weeks. You get the full amount—up front.
Afterpay requires no additional integration with your Square Online site. You’ll be automatically enabled to use Afterpay so you can boost online sales, increase average cart size, and attract new customers. Learn more about how Afterpay works on their website.

Fees
Sales made using Afterpay carry only one transaction fee on the total purchase — not on each installment. There are no fees charged on the remaining installments, and no other monthly fees or activation costs. The fee for Afterpay transactions on Square Online is 6% + 30¢ per order, which is the standard BNPL rate that Afterpay charges merchants.
Note: Afterpay rates are fixed, and do not vary by subscription type, hardware, or custom pricing.
Eligibility
Eligibility for Afterpay is dependent on numerous factors, including how your business is structured and what you sell. Here are some notes to keep in mind:
