Afterpay, the leader in “Buy Now, Pay Later”, announced that it will be offering “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) payments for physical retail stores in the U.S. market to shoppers paying with Google Pay.
Under this new agreement, Afterpay customers can buy items in retail stores using the Afterpay app by tapping their Android phone at the POS terminal. Just like using Afterpay online, customers can pay for their in-store purchases in four installment payments, without the need to take out a traditional loan or pay upfront fees or interest. The service is completely free for consumers who pay on time and is expected to be available in retail stores beginning in July of 2020.
Select U.S. retailers Forever21, Fresh and Solstice Sunglasses will begin offering Afterpay in their stores this month. Because shoppers are using Google Pay, which works with existing payment terminals, there is no technical integration effort associated with accepting Afterpay.
