Why Afterpay is not yet available for online payments via Square Appointments online booking site?

Hello Everyone,

 

Why is Afterpay not yet available for online payments via the Square Appointments online booking site?

 

If it were available, more clients could book appointments, which would mean more bookings for business owners due to the option of paying in fur instalments.

 

Please, Square, make this feature available; otherwise, businesses are losing bookings. ๐Ÿ˜ข

 

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Hey there @NONOKA. While this won't be a satisfying reason, currently AfterPay is not available outside the US at all, period.  In the case of Australia, my guess is that the new restrictions introduced in 2025 -- such as the fact that BNPL companies must rate their customers' financial situation for signs of financial vulnerability -- take time to comply with.  And that is just one of a number of new requirements for these companies.

 

I'll tag the Square moderators here in the Community.  Maybe they can check with the AfterPay team and see if they have any concrete plans, yet.
