Cross Border Trade is a feature that enables you to accept Afterpay orders from international customers.

For example, if you have a US online store, you can accept orders from customers in Australia and those customers can use Afterpay.

  • Click here for an overview of Cross Border Trade for merchants
Afterpay customers can still make CBT purchases. Cash App customers that are new to Afterpay will not see options to use CBT.

Available Countries

The available countries for Afterpay Cross Border Trade are:

  • Australia

  • Canada

  • New Zealand

  • United Kingdom (as Clearpay)

Setup

All Afterpay merchants have Cross Border Trade enabled automatically.

Actions

Please ensure that your store is configured to meet these requirements:

Currency

Check that your store currency matches your Afterpay merchant account region. For example, if you have a US Afterpay merchant account, then your store currency must be set to USD. If the two do not match, Afterpay will not work.

Store Address

Check that your store address matches your Afterpay merchant account region. For example, if you have a US Afterpay merchant account, then your store address must be set to United States.

For information on how to set or change your store currency or address, go to the Platforms - Quickstart topic and choose your platform from the list.

Shipping

You must configure shipping methods to any countries that you want to offer CBT to. So for example, if you have a US store and offer CBT to New Zealand, you would need to configure shipping methods for New Zealand within your platform’s shipping settings. If you do not do this, international customers will not be able to place an order.

Settlements

Settlements from Afterpay are always paid in your local currency. So, if you are a US merchant, your settlements are made in US dollars.

Restrictions and Costs

You cannot display Afterpay messaging on the product pages for currencies other than the default store currency. This is due to possible exchange rate variations, which could lead to inaccurate installment amounts.

Afterpay charges a small additional fee on Cross Border Trade transactions. For details of this fee, see your Afterpay contract or email us at:
