Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Afterpay merchant fee?▼
Afterpay's standard merchant fee is 4% to 6% + $0.30 per transaction. The most common rate for small-to-mid-size merchants is 4% + $0.30. This is significantly higher than standard credit card processing (2.9% + $0.30 for Stripe), but Afterpay drives higher average order values.
How does Afterpay pay merchants?▼
Afterpay pays merchants the full sale amount (minus fees) within 1-3 business days, even though customers pay in 4 installments over 6 weeks. Afterpay absorbs the payment risk — if a customer defaults, that's Afterpay's problem.
Is Afterpay worth the higher merchant fee?▼
For many merchants, yes. Studies show Afterpay increases average order values by 20-40% and reduces cart abandonment. The incremental revenue often outweighs the additional fee cost.
Can customers use Afterpay for any purchase?▼
Afterpay has a minimum purchase amount (typically $35) and a per-transaction limit (typically $500-$2,000 for new users and up to $4,000 for established users). Certain categories are restricted.
How does Afterpay compare to Klarna?▼
Afterpay (4% + $0.30) is typically more expensive than Klarna (2.99% + $0.30) for merchants. However, Afterpay has a strong presence in fashion and lifestyle retail.
What happens if an Afterpay customer misses a payment?▼
Missing an Afterpay payment affects the customer, not the merchant. Customers are charged a late fee ($8 in the US). Merchants always receive their full payout — Afterpay handles collection from the customer.
