Benefits For Afterpay Merchants

  • Incremental sales, new customers
    Afterpay converts customers that would have otherwise abandoned, generating more sales from the existing customer base and creating new customers.

  • Guaranteed up-front payment
    Afterpay pays merchants the full transaction amount within 48 hours of purchase, guaranteed.

  • Increase basket size and repeat purchase rates
    Afterpay customers spend more per transaction and over their lifetime, and they come back more often.

  • Zero fraud or credit risk
    Afterpay assumes all end-customer non-payment risk for every single transaction.


Seamless integration with your store.

To accept Afterpay, you will first need a merchant account with Afterpay. Contact Afterpay to apply for an account. As this is a new inegration, you may get someone at AfterPay who is not aware that Spiffy Stores is a supported solution. Should this happen, please reply to them providing a link to this page.

You should also ensure that during the application process you provide Afterpay support with the Base URL displayed below, as if you don't provide them with this information, Afterpay will not work in your checkout.

BASE URL: https://server1.spiffystores.com


After you have created an Afterpay account, activating Afterpay payments in your store is simple, and can be done in the Preferences -> Checkout & Payment section of your Spiffy Store Toolbox.

To activate Afterpay, scroll down to the Alternative Payment Methods section, and select Afterpay.

You may also want to add a note that is displayed in your checkout in the Extra Instructions to Buyer section.

Once you have completed all of the information, simply click the Activate button, and head over to your storefront to preview Afterpay in your checkout.
