As consumers look to furnish their homes or
plan their next holiday, they can shop and flexibly pay over time
from thousands of new merchants
Just in time for summer, Afterpay has scaled its Pay Monthly
product to thousands of new merchants, offering eligible consumers
the opportunity to be more flexible with splitting their next
premium product or vacation over a six or twelve month period.1
This comes at a pivotal time as recent graduates and home owners
look to furnish their new spaces, and travelers consider how to
budget for their summer vacations.
Afterpay first introduced its monthly payment solution during
the fall of 2022 and it has grown widely in adoption by both
consumers and merchants alike. Consumers have enjoyed more choice
in how they pay and budget for their expenses, where the number of
Afterpay consumers actively using the solution has increased by 3x2
when analyzed between December 2022 to May 2023. Compared to
traditional Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), merchants have also
benefited from increased sales and higher average order values.
Leading home retailers offering Afterpay’s Pay Monthly product
to consumers online include Brooklinen, Caraway Home,
Lulu and Georgia, Ruggable, Sur La Table, and
more. As for travelers, they can split their monthly purchases at
partners such as Alternative Airlines and Expedia.
Besides home and travel, consumers can also use Afterpay for other
higher price categories such as jewelry, luxury fashion, and
petcare.
“As Afterpay’s first major U.S. travel partner, Expedia Group is
excited to see the expansion of the Pay Monthly product to include
even more options for travelers looking to book their dream trips,”
said Julia Merritt, Director of Business Development, Strategic
Partnerships and Affiliates, Expedia Group. “We’re happy that
our cutting-edge traveler technologies help our partners provide
flexible, seamless experiences for their customers.”
“During the course of the past year, we’ve seen rapid adoption
of Afterpay’s Pay Monthly monthly payment solution from our network
of highly-engaged consumers embracing it for purchases on their
home, travel, and experiences. This product not only affords people
with the buying power they’re looking for when it comes to high
value orders, but it has also contributed meaningfully to our
merchant partners’ bottom lines as well," said Salim Tarazi,
Head of Product, Afterpay at Cash App.
Monthly Payments can be used by eligible customers for purchases
between $400 and $4,000,3 with consumer-friendly payment terms,
including: no late fees, no compounding interest with a cap on
total interest owed, and a clear view of what is owed at the time
of purchase. Next month, Square sellers will also be able to offer
Afterpay’s Pay Monthly product through Square Invoices, giving
consumers the option to flexibly pay for larger invoices over a six
or twelve month period.¹
With consumer protections and visible spending limits in place,
Afterpay was built to enable responsible customer spending and
stopping consumers from revolving into debt. The Afterpay platform
uses soft credit checks4 to customize spending limits so consumers
spend within their means – creating a healthier and more
responsible customer base. This effort is reflected in how often
Afterpay customers make their payments on time. Nearly 90%5 of
Afterpay monthly installments were paid on time and 95%6 of
Afterpay bi-weekly installments were paid on time.
