Adding to the pool of features Afterpay has come to integrate with Shopify services where the users will be allowed to purchase at the moment and choose to pay later without any additional charges or interest rates. It is like a normal credit purchase where the buyer is given the possession of the product, the transaction is subject to payment within 8 weeks of purchase.

When this credit period expires, Afterpay before deducting any amount will remind the buyers about the deadline following to which the purchase amount will be deducted from their cards.
