Hello,

Setting up Afterpay and Sezzle on your Shopify store involves a few steps for each payment method. Both Afterpay and Sezzle offer buy-now-pay-later options for customers, allowing them to split their purchases into multiple installments. Here’s how you can set up these payment options:

Setting up Afterpay:

  1. Sign Up:

    • Create an account with Afterpay on their official website.

  2. Install Afterpay for Shopify:

    • Log in to your Shopify admin panel.
    • Go to the “Apps” section.
    • Search for “Afterpay” in the Shopify App Store.
    • Install the official Afterpay app.

  3. Configure Afterpay:

    • Once the app is installed, follow the instructions to configure Afterpay for your store.
    • You’ll need to enter your Afterpay account details, API credentials, and other settings.

  4. Customize Integration:

    • Customize the appearance of Afterpay on your Shopify store to match your branding.

  5. Test Transactions:

    • Perform some test transactions to ensure that Afterpay is working correctly and that customers can choose it as a payment option during checkout.

Setting up Sezzle:

  1. Sign Up:

    • Create an account with Sezzle on their official website.

  2. Install Sezzle for Shopify:

    • Log in to your Shopify admin panel.
    • Go to the “Apps” section.
    • Search for “Sezzle” in the Shopify App Store.
    • Install the official Sezzle app.

  3. Configure Sezzle:

    • Follow the app’s instructions to configure Sezzle for your store.
    • You’ll need to enter your Sezzle account details, API credentials, and customize the settings.

  4. Customize Integration:

    • Customize the Sezzle widget’s appearance to match your store’s design and branding.

  5. Test Transactions:

    • Perform test transactions to ensure that Sezzle is integrated correctly and that customers can select it as a payment option during the checkout process.

Important Considerations:

  1. Legal Compliance:

    • Make sure to comply with any legal requirements or regulations related to offering buy-now-pay-later services in your region.

  2. Communication:

    • Clearly communicate to your customers that these payment options are available on your store.

  3. Customer Support:

    • Be prepared to handle customer inquiries related to Afterpay and Sezzle, such as payment plans, refunds, and billing.

  4. Integration Updates:

    • Keep an eye out for updates from Afterpay and Sezzle and make sure to update your integration if needed.

Always refer to the official documentation of Afterpay and Sezzle for the most accurate and up-to-date information on setting up their payment options on your Shopify store.

Firstly, you need to ensure that your store is based in either Australia, New Zealand, UK and the United States as these are the only regions Afterpay is currently available. Next, to enable the Afterpay payment method on the Shopify Checkout page, please follow the suitable integration guide below:
