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.
The available countries for Afterpay Cross Border Trade are:
Australia
Canada
New Zealand
United Kingdom (as Clearpay)
All Afterpay merchants have Cross Border Trade enabled automatically.
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 from Afterpay are always paid in your local currency. So, if you are a US merchant, your settlements are made in US dollars.
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:
