Amazon is a technology company that focuses on e-commerce, cloud computing, online advertising, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence. In 1994, it was initially an online marketplace for books only when Jeff Bezos founded it, then it later expanded.
It is one of the most popular online retailers, with millions of customers across the globe. Its large amount of product, fast shipping, and prompt delivery makes it one of the easiest and most convenient ways to buy a product.
And one thing that makes it even more convenient: Afterpay. Let’s learn about it!
Amazon Payment Options
You might be wondering about Amazon’s payment option if you are planning to shop, particularly if Amazon takes Afterpay as a payment method. Well, Amazon accepts different types of payment options but does not offer or accept Afterpay. Simply put, Amazon does not allow customers to use Afterpay to purchase items on the website. This might be because the company is large and does not bother about losing customers. However, for Amazon Afterpay, there is a loophole that allows customers to split payment with the Afterpay payment options.
How to use Afterpay on Amazon
Want to know how to spread out the payment for an expensive product on Amazon? All you need to know is how to use Afterpay on Amazon. The Afterpay feature does not work on Amazon the same way as in other stores that offer it as a payment option.
For you to use Afterpay as a payment option on Amazon, you will need a credit card. You will have to log into your Afterpay app and click on Amazon. You can then shop for the product or items you want and add them to your cart. When you are about to pay, select “Add a payment method,” then choose “Add a credit or debit card.”
After adding the credit card information, the “Buy now, Pay later” button will activate. Untick “Set as default payment method” and click on “buy now.” You can then fill in your credit card information in the payment field and place your order.
Did Afterpay Take Amazon Off Its List of Retailers?
The Afterpay payment platform allows customers to access the “Buy now, pay later” service on Amazon. So, it stands to reason that Afterpay didn’t get rid of Amazon. To facilitate a purchase on Amazon, Afterpay uses a one-time card, and the payment details are populated when checking out.
