What is Afterpay?
AfterPay is a buy now, pay later payment. It helps fill the gap for people who can’t or won’t use a credit card while online shopping. It allows the consumers to purchase what they want and pay for it over a designated period of time (6 weeks, 3 months etc) with no interest penalties. It is the same idea as a layaway plan except Afterpay took the idea and made it better for retailers and consumers.
The payment platform is an intermediary between a retailer and the consumer. Once the consumer initiates the purchase, Afterpay pays the retailer the full amount, then the consumer pays the money back in said equal payments.
