Feature Request: Adding Afterpay to the Square Website as a payment option

[Leadinveck]

We were looking at Afterpay for our square website online store and wondered if anyone knew if this was possible?

Hi Dieterslicke

I totally agreee with your comments re afterpay, I normally just ring the merchant helpline if we have an issue, and if I am not happy with the first response I just escalate, it soon gets resloved after that. What I am trying to do here is get an answer from the higher ups as to why. Yes square support is great, But the other teams need to listen to square customers otherwise a lot may jump, due to the fact bnpl is polpular

[dieterslicke]

Good tips re their helpline. We’re so busy during the week we normally only discover these issues over the weekend when we have time for website updates etc and need support outside of their phone hours. Will give it a try next time.

Seamus is a great advocate for us Australian sellers and he has been personally pushing for Afterpay support, so I have no doubt one day it will happen. Like I said, there are so many other great things about Square for us that we just find an alternative way around it’s limitations. And for us in this case with Square Online, it was using Squarespace instead for our website and e-com. Square Online has had some huge upgrades already this year so I think there could be more to come in this space.

Registering our vote for AFTERPAY. We love square but honestly, I’m thinking of moving providers as square has minimal features 

[SaltyBae]

Pull your finger out Square seriously!

[jhughe]

any updates, yes you can use the card, for afterpay, but your customers want to offer it on their website as well

[Arie]

No updates on Afterpay for Square online at the moment @jhughe, I'm afraid. We'll tag everyone in this thread to share an update as soon as we have news on this feature request! 

[jhughe]

well if they dont want other bnpl, maybe they should think of doing their own, now paypal is in on the game and has a bnpl

[jhughe]

well it looks like we may get afterpay on our webstorws

Hey @spiritofcreatio,

Thanks for getting in touch!

While you can already accept the Afterpay card on Square Hardware to take in person payments, we don't have an integration between Afterpay and Square online at the moment.

We're looking forward to integrating Afterpay across the Square product ecosystem in the future, though! Read more at https://www.sellercommunity.com/t5/Product-Updates/Square-Announces-Plans-to-Acquire-Afterpay/ba-p/2....

[jhughe]

[renmishele]

Yes I just noticed it when logging in to update my site!  I'm so excited that we finally have it!  Hopefully soon square websites will be on the Afterpay site as well!

[SweetRelief]

It looks great, and easily enabled/integrated.  However I discovered this glitch that isn't great at all:

[image removed]

[Seamus]

@SweetRelief Without being able to look into your account back end, on the face of it this looks like the local delivery area function working as intended? Are you able to check these settings, or did you intend to test the feature for shipping rather than local delivery?

If this address is definitely within the defined rules of your delivery radius or postcodes though, support will be able to help further - but first I want to make sure the most obvious answer can be ruled out!

Note: I've removed your screenshot as we have a community policy against posting personal information in public here. For your safety, it's probably best to avoid posting your name, address and phone number online in public places 🙂

[SweetRelief]

Hi @Seamus ,

I have both delivery AND shipping functionality set up on the website, also pickup too.  The address listed was well within the delivery radius, so it is definitely a glitch.  

Thanks for removing the screenshot - I wasn't worried about details as it is all publicly listed on my website/Google Maps anyways.

Tanya.
