Introducing Afterpay – a new way to pay
Today we announced that we’re teaming up with Afterpay to offer a new way to pay for goods on Trade Me. Afterpay is a ‘buy now, pay later’ service that will allow online buyers to buy something, receive it immediately, but pay for it in four fortnightly interest-free payments.
For instance, if you buy something for $100 with Afterpay, you’ll pay four fortnightly payments of $25. It’s free for buyers to use, just set up an account with Afterpay and start buying.
For sellers, this is another option to help attract more buyers. Merchants using Afterpay in Australia say they’ve seen more sales and more customers through the door thanks to the payment option.
Afterpay will be available on Trade Me later in 2017, but in the meantime sellers interested in finding out more can register their interest and be among the first to use Afterpay on Trade Me.
