Interest Free Payments, Not One Big Charge
01The Problem
Afterpay has become a standard checkout expectation for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle shoppers. Without it, price-conscious customers compare and often buy elsewhere.
The problem
A shopper adds a $150 item to their cart, then hesitates because paying it all today feels steep, even though $37.50 every two weeks would feel easy. If Afterpay isn't an option, that hesitation often turns into an abandoned cart or a purchase on a competitor's site that offers it.
How we solve it
We integrate Afterpay directly into your checkout and product pages, so shoppers see the pay-in-4 option before they hesitate, not after. You get paid the full amount upfront, Afterpay collects the four installments and carries the risk, and we test every order type before it goes live.
Messaging where shoppers decide
Afterpay badges and pricing shown on product and cart pages, not just at checkout.
Paid upfront, no waiting
You receive the full order amount right away, regardless of the four-payment schedule.
Tested across order types
Refunds, partial refunds, and cancellations checked before customers see them.

You see exactly where Afterpay will appear and how refunds work before a single customer uses it.

06What Our Clients Say
Feedback from ecommerce teams we have built stores, checkouts, and integrations for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
Michael Bennett
Founder & CEO of Northbridge Consulting
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
James Whitmore
Head of Marketing of Lumen Outdoor
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

08Overview
DeveloperLook integrates Afterpay into Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom checkouts: enabling the pay-in-4 option, adding on-page messaging, and testing every order and refund case before launch. Projects start from $399, most go live in 3 to 7 business days, and you are paid upfront while Afterpay carries the installment risk.
Who it's for
Fashion, beauty, and lifestyle stores
Your audience skews younger and already expects pay-in-4 as a checkout option.
Stores losing sales on mid-range purchases
A $100 to $300 item feels like a bigger ask paid all at once than split into four smaller payments.
Merchants who tried Afterpay's default setup
Afterpay is technically live, but messaging is missing from product pages or styled inconsistently with your brand.
Shopify and WooCommerce stores wanting a clean setup
You want Afterpay installed correctly the first time, tested across order types, and matched to your brand.
Businesses comparing BNPL providers
You are deciding between Afterpay, Klarna, Affirm, and Sezzle, and want the one that fits your customers and fees.
Not a fit for
You want a single BNPL option and are not sure which provider fits. Our Buy Now Pay Later Integration service covers a comparison-first setup.
You need Klarna, Affirm, or Sezzle specifically. Each has its own dedicated integration service.
You sell items priced too high or too low for pay-in-4 to make sense to most shoppers. We can advise on this during the free review.
You need card data processed outside Afterpay's and your platform's hosted checkout.
09Pricing
These are starting points in USD. Your final price depends on your platform and how many pages need messaging, and you get a fixed proposal after a free review.

12FAQ
Straight answers on Afterpay, integration cost, timelines, and what happens for merchants.
You connect Afterpay to your checkout, and customers pay for their order in four equal installments every two weeks while you receive the full amount upfront. Afterpay collects the remaining payments from the customer and carries the risk if one is missed.
For your customers, Afterpay splits a purchase into four equal payments, one at checkout and three more every two weeks, with no interest charged. For you as the merchant, none of that changes what you receive: you are paid the full order amount upfront.
You apply for an Afterpay merchant account, then we connect it to your checkout through Afterpay's API or your platform's payment app, add on-page messaging, and test orders and refunds before launch.
Approval depends on your business type, sales history, and processing volume, which Afterpay reviews when you apply. Once approved, we handle the technical integration into your store.
We connect Afterpay through Shopify's supported payment provider settings or Afterpay's dedicated app, enable it as a checkout option, and add on-page messaging so shoppers see the pay-in-4 option before checkout.
We install and configure Afterpay's official WooCommerce payment gateway plugin, connect it to your merchant account, and test orders, refunds, and messaging placement on product and cart pages.
Afterpay's merchant fees are typically a percentage of the order plus a small fixed fee, similar to standard card processing rates, though exact rates depend on your agreement with Afterpay and your region.
Stores commonly see higher conversion and average order value after adding Afterpay, particularly on mid-range fashion, beauty, and lifestyle purchases where splitting the cost into four payments lowers the hesitation to buy. Results vary by product price point and audience.
Afterpay is a buy now, pay later service that lets customers split a purchase into four equal, interest-free installments paid every two weeks, while the merchant is paid the full amount upfront.
A standard checkout integration on Shopify or WooCommerce typically takes 3 to 5 business days. Adding on-page messaging across product and cart pages, or integrating alongside other BNPL providers, usually takes 5 to 10 business days.
