Payment processors are growing in numbers bringing newer and easier payment methods that benefit both buyers and sellers. To respond to that emerging popularity, large marketplaces and other sales channels continuously update their payment gateway offers.
When it comes to the Afterpay payment option, Amazon doesn’t accept this type of payment which might come as both a surprise and disappointment to users. However, not all is lost since there’s a workaround to make it happen.
In this article, we’ll show how AFTERPAY works and how you can successfully use it when shopping on Amazon. We’ll also review other ‘buy now, pay later’ payment methods that can be availed on Amazon
- 1Open the AFTERPAY app. You can use the AFTERPAY to shop directly on Amazon, and you can pay with a single-use payment. Single-use payments are currently not available on Afterpay.com.
- Single-use payments allow you to shop at retailers like AMAZON that don’t normally take AFTERPAY while still letting you pay in installments over six weeks, interest free.
- 2Navigate to the Shop tab and select Amazon.https://3c49d961fe855d245c20bbd3a901f7cd.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html

- If you’ve used other payment methods on your Amazon account before, you will need to tap Payment method, then + Add new in the upper right-hand corner to see the Add a credit or debit card option.Ensure the default payment method box isn’t checked.
