Log in to your Afterpay account at www.afterpay.com.au

1. Select “My Account”

 If you do not have another payment method, please contact us immediately.

When you add a new card to your account and set it as the default, it is used as the default card for new orders only.

Your old card will still be the default card for any orders placed with it, unless you make a "Pay Now" payment and select the new card as the default.

If a payment for an order fails, we will try other cards on your account. Once all associated orders with a card are paid off, you can remove the old card from your account in the My Account / Billing section.

When adding a new card please ensure that the card has been activated with the bank and that you have at least $5 available to spend.

We’re sorry to see you leave Afterpay and hope you’ll reconsider! If you wish to close your account, please send a request

After you make your first purchase using Afterpay, you will need to create a password in order to access your account on the Afterpay website. This can be done by clicking the link on an email that we send you after making your first purchase, or by clicking “Forgot your Password?” when attempting to login on the Afterpay website. 

If you are using a mobile device and are having issues logging in, try the following

  Make sure that you have a strong and stable internet connection (WiFi or mobile)

  Update your device with the most recent version of the OS and browser

  Close any existing browsers and restart

  If you have multiple tabs open, close them all and restart

  Do not use Private Browsing / incognito mode 

IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you are using the correct email address to log in to Afterpay (i.e. the email address that you provided us when making your first purchase) if you are being asked for your mobile number, rather than a password you MUST be using a different email address to try and login than the one you used when you created your account with us.  If you have a different email address try that, if that fails it is possible you made a typo when you keyed in your email address so you may need to give us a call 1300 100 729 or complete a shoppers request form

If your account has been disabled, reset your password by selecting “Forgot your Password” on the log in page and an email will be sent to you. Follow the prompts and your account will become active once again. Please allow time for the email to be received and be sure to check your SPAM/JUNK mailbox in case it has gone into that folder.

Be careful - if you do this too many times in a short period of time you will disable your account again.

This could be due to a number of reasons, but please try the following: 

• Make sure, if you have multiple email addresses, that you are using the email address you provided when you made your first Afterpay purchase. If you can’t remember which email address you used, try search your inboxes for the Order Confirmation you received from Afterpay or the Retailer
• Check your junk mail
• Contact Us

If you are waiting for delivery of goods and it is taking longer than you expected or you have received your order with items missing/ damaged you need to get in touch with the store directly.

Afterpay is not able to amend, adjust or change an order once it is approved - this must be handled directly with the store.  Have a look on the merchants website for details of contact information, alternatively contact information is provided to you in your order summary from Afterpay.  

Please allow up to 48hrs for the store to respond to your enquiry.

Unfortunately we do not have any influence over the delivery of your goods as this process is controlled by the merchants. Please contact the store where you purchased your goods from and ask for an expected delivery date/tracking information.

If you are unable to get in touch with the retailer, please contact us and we can try help you.

Our automated system considers a number of different factors. As an example, the longer you have been a customer with Afterpay and the more orders you have successfully repaid, the more likely you will be able to spend more.

Whilst we know it can be frustrating to not know exactly how much you can spend each time, our rules and approval process help Afterpay responsibly offer a completely free service to our customers.

The good news is that each time you use Afterpay we are making a fresh decision, and over time you will be able to spend more so long as you continue to repay your instalments on time.

Thanks for your understanding, and for choosing Afterpay.

We greatly value and appreciate your support

When determining which orders to approve, our automated system considers a number of different factors. As an example, the longer you have been a customer with Afterpay and the more orders you have successfully repaid, the more likely you will be able to spend more.

The good news is that each time you use Afterpay we are making a fresh decision, and over time you will be able to spend more so long as you continue to repay your installments on time.

From time to time a merchant may get in touch to tell you that some/ all of the items you have ordered were not available due to stock exhaustion.

In this situation they will contact you directly to advise and may offer you alternative items or a refund.

In the instance of a refund being given, once the merchant processes the refund it will automatically drop through and be reflected on your Afterpay account. 

If you are waiting for delivery of goods and it is taking longer than you expected or you have received your order with items missing/ damaged you need to get in touch with the store directly.

Please allow up to 48hrs for the store to respond to your enquiry.

Before we can update your payment schedule, we need the retailer to receive your goods and notify us that the refund has been accepted.

We work closely with all of our merchants to ensure that this happens as quickly as possible. If you are charged any amounts by Afterpay for a purchase that the retailer has agreed to refund, we will refund you the amount as soon as we are notified by the retailer. To find out the status of your return, please contact the retailer as decisions about returns are up to them.

Once the refund is processed by the merchant - it automatically drops through to us and your Afterpay payment plan is adjusted to reflect the new total order value starting with the last payment and working backwards. It is all systems generated so nothing we can do to speed things up (sorry)

Returns are subject to the retailer’s returns policy and all goods should be returned as usual. You should contact the retailer that provided you the goods to arrange the return and ensure the goods are sent back in a saleable condition. 

When the retailer receives the goods and accepts the return, Afterpay will be notified by them and the refund will be applied. Please note that refund amounts are taken off the last payment/s first. If at least one payment has been made in relation to this purchase, and the refunded amount is greater than the amount outstanding, the difference between these amounts will be refunded to the credit/debit card that you used to place the order. The bank may take 5-7 days to refund the money to your card. 

For example, let’s say you made a $400 purchase using Afterpay (i.e. 4 instalments of $100 each) and wish to return items worth $250. Once we are notified by the retailer that the return has been approved, we will cancel your 3rd and 4th instalments of $100, and amend your 2nd instalment to $50.

Your new payment schedule would become 2 payments (instead of 4) of $100 & $50. If you had already made 2 payments of $100 each, a refund of $50 would be applied to your card and the remaining 2 payments would be cancelled. 

You can log in to your Afterpay account at any time to view your updated payment schedule. 

Please note, you will be liable for all payment amounts until Afterpay receives confirmation from the retailer that a return has been accepted.

Returns are subject to the retailer’s returns policy and all goods should be returned as usual. You should contact the retailer that provided you the goods to arrange the return and ensure the goods are sent back in a saleable condition. 

For details of the Merchants returns policy please visit the stores website or find their contact details on your order confirmation email from Afterpay.

When the retailer receives the goods and accepts the return, Afterpay will be notified by them and all future payments for that order will be cancelled. If you have already made one or more payments, the instalments paid will be refunded to the credit/debit card that you used to place the order. Once notified by the retailer, we will process the refund immediately and send you an email to confirm that the refund has been applied. The bank may take 5-7 business days to process this amount.

Please note, you will be liable for all payment amounts until Afterpay receives confirmation from the retailer that a return has been accepted.

We love it when you pay us, whether it is on your due date or before if you prefer. Paying us before your payment due date is a good way of controlling your spend and for you to be in control of what you pay/when.

Alternatively if you don’t want the hassle of logging in to make a manual payment you can simply let our automated payment schedule take the funds on the agreed scheduled date.

Whichever way you prefer we do not mind, it makes no difference we just love the word PAID!

Our system determines for each order placed, whether you will be required to make your first payment at the time of purchase.   This will be clearly communicated to you prior to you confirming your order.

For all orders over $500 and any In-store orders, you will always be required to make your first payment at the time of purchase.

If you have not made the payment before the due date, and the automatic payment fails, you have until 11pm (AEDT in the summer months and AEST in the winter months) the following day to make payment. After 11pm the following day, if that payment has not been made, you will incur a late payment fee of $10 and a further late fee of $7 if the payment is not made within 7 days (as stated in the Afterpay Terms). 

We understand that there are certain extenuating circumstances which will not allow you to make payments on or before the scheduled date. If you believe you fall into this category contact us

No, We are not able to change your payment schedule. When making a purchase, please look at your payment schedule closely so that you are aware of the due dates for each instalment.

If you have funds available on your card on each due date, or if you manually make the payments before the due date, you will avoid any late fees! Please note that Afterpay's system will automatically attempt to process the payments for you so you don't need to do anything on the due date.

You can make payments at any time by logging in to your Afterpay account and using the PAYNOW button.

If you would like to make a payment before the scheduled date, please follow these steps: 
Log in to your Afterpay account at www.afterpay.com.au

1. Select “Payment Schedule”
2. Next to the payment that you would like to pay early, select “Pay Now”
3. Choose the desired payment method and select “Submit Payment”

If the payment is successful, the automatic payment will no longer be processed on the original scheduled date.

Yes. If a payment has not been made by you on the Afterpay website before the scheduled payment date, Afterpay will automatically take payment from your default payment method on that date. The scheduled payment dates can be seen in the confirmation email sent to you after your order was approved, or by logging in to your Afterpay account at www.afterpay.com.au. 

To avoid late fees, simply ensure that you have sufficient funds available on the credit or debit card used to ensure the scheduled payment is made successfully.

The most common reasons for an order failing to be approved by Afterpay is due to following:

• the customer not having sufficient funds on their card
• the customer not entering their card details correctly

This could be due to a number of reasons, but please try the following: 

• Make sure, if you have multiple email addresses, that you are using the email address you provided to create user access to the Afterpay Merchant Portal. If you can’t remember which email address you used, try search your inboxes for login confirmation you received from Afterpay.

Afterpay will direct all inquiries from customers, regarding Return of goods, to you, the Retailer/Merchant.   For security purposes, Afterpay is unable to issue a refund to a customer on behalf of a Merchant.

Afterpay will only process refunds following the instruction by a Merchant though the issue of a refund request via the Merchant Portal

• Afterpay will determine how to apply the refund to the customer’s order and adjust the customers’ payment schedule accordingly to reflect the refund issued
• Afterpay will process amounts back to the customer’s card in the instances where the customer has made payments to Afterpay already.
• An email will be sent from Afterpay to the customer to confirm the refund has been processed and communicate the changes to the customer’s payment schedule.
• Any refunds will be accounted for in the next settlement date. Refund amounts will be clearly identified as such in the detailed settlement information.
• Afterpay Merchant fees are non-refundable in the event of a refund.

Once Afterpay has approved an order, the order details and order value cannot be changed.

The Merchant is able to issue partial refunds if items are not in stock or cannot be fulfilled for any reason.   

Afterpay does not support the addition of items to an order. 

A customer will need to place a new and separate order for the new items or cancel the previous order and raise a new order for all the items if they wish to use Afterpay to pay for the new items in the same payment schedule.

To cancel an order, the Merchant should issue a refund for the full value of the order through the Afterpay Merchant Portal. 

Settlement payments are triggered from the time the order is approved by Afterpay and are processed as per the following:

Settlement payments will be made based on the settlement processing time agreed (typically the next business day).

• An email is sent to the merchant account email address (if configured) summarising the total settlement payment amount to be paid. Emails are not sent if there are no amounts due to the Merchant.
• Afterpay merchant fees are calculated and deducted from the amount to be paid to the Merchant at settlement.
• Bank processing times vary and need to be taken into account by the Merchant for clearing.
