Feature Request: Add a payment installment platform to my website (Sezzle, Afterpay, Affirm, etc)

The title of this post has been edited from the original: When will Sezzle be added as a payment option?

 

I have been losing customers because I don’t have Sezzle as my option. I really

do not want to switch over to Shopify. I love my website here at Square! When will Sezzle or even AFTERPAY be available?

Square Online is eager and excited to announce our integration of Afterpay, allowing you to offer a buy now, pay later payment option on your Square Online site.

 

Available now, Afterpay lets your customers pay in four equal, interest-free installments over six weeks, while you get paid in full immediately. Learn more here.

 

*Please Note: Only certain business types are eligible to use Afterpay at this time.

 

Try Afterpay at no extra charge

Through May 10, 2022, you’ll pay the same 2.9% + 30¢ processing fee for Afterpay transactions as you do on all Square Online transactions. There’s no additional setup cost or monthly fee.1 2

 

Benefits of accepting Afterpay

 

✔️   Drive incremental sales: Sellers see a 20% increase in cart conversion on average, and more repeat customers.

 

✔️    Increase average order value: Afterpay lets customers get what they want, when they want it, increasing average order value by up to 40%.

 

✔️    Attract new customers: Merchants find that 30% or more of Afterpay customers are  new to their brand.

 

How Afterpay works for you

 

✔️    Get paid upfront: You'll get paid within days for purchases made with Afterpay.

 

✔️    Minimize your risk: We take on the risk, including chargebacks and fraud so you can focus on growing your business.

 

✔️    Receive daily settlement reports: Get access to transactional information that you can use to reconcile or verify orders.


With Afterpay, you’ll never miss out on a big sale.  And unlike other installment platforms competitors, Afterpay doesn’t require additional integration—it’s automatically available as a Square payment option for Square Online, and works out of the box. You’ll  also get paid up front—we assume the risk, including chargebacks and fraud. More questions? See our support article here

 

Coming Soon: Afterpay will be integrated with more Square products later this year—we’ll keep you posted!

 

You can enable Afterpay in your Square Online checkout settings here .

What's hard to believe is that Square PURCHASED Afterpay several months ago.  I'm sure the decision was based on the multitude of existing users, the value of the product,  and the money Afterpay was making.  That's why it's hard to believe that they haven't integrated it or said anything about when it will happen. 

 

Instead, they work on apps that may be useful to some, but not as useful as Afterpay would be.  Can they at least say something???  Give us a roll-out date.  Invite some of us long-time users to beta test.....something...anything...Bueller??? 

 

As a consumer, I've used Afterpay and I KNOW it has factored in my purchasing decisions. but another holiday is about to pass us by and we don't have the ability to provide this option for customers...smh.

Thank you all for reaching out. Once Square's planned acquisition of Afterpay has finalized, we look forward to integrating Afterpay across Square's product range, though we don't currently have a timeline to share. 

 

I promise we will update this thread as soon as we have more information to share. You can read more about the planned acquisition here

I’m just here to vote for Afterpay, Affirm and Square installments it really helps drive more customers to small businesses.

Thank you for adding your voice to this request, @DAINTYTHINGSCO

 

I don't have any updates to provide at this time, but we'll be sure to post on this thread once we have more details to share. 

 

P.s. Welcome to the Seller Community 🎉

Any update on AfterPay?  I'm puzzled as to why they continue to release things no one wants.  The recent TikTok selling feature is an example.   Most, if not ALL Square retailers would definitely use it---not sure why it isn't a priority.

 

Thanks

Hi @Glendini 👋 Thanks for reaching out! 

 

We actually have quite a few sellers that requested the Tik Tok integration, although I definitely understand that it is not something that every seller would utilize. 

 

There's a host of reasons why one feature would be released before another, and I'm assuming the biggest factor has to do with how quickly and efficiently the needed code can be programed in to work with the third party platform. 

 

That said, the Afterpay integration is high on the roadmap for feature requests. I believe we will have an update to provide to everyone in the coming week(s). 😊🤞

 

We appreciate your continued patience, and will update this thread as soon as we can!
