    Open the Afterpay app and follow the prompts to create your account. You’ll need to provide some basic personal information and verify your identity.

Our clinic offers a straightforward process for Afterpay payments. Here’s how we handle them:

  • Initial Payment: You make a 25% payment of the total treatment cost at the time of your dental procedure.
  • Instalment Schedule: The remaining balance is divided into three equal instalments, due every two weeks.
  • Automatic Deductions: These instalments are automatically deducted from your nominated debit or credit card.

While we receive the full payment upfront from Afterpay, you enjoy the flexibility of interest-free instalments. This arrangement allows you to prioritise your oral health without the burden of immediate full payment.

Yes, Afterpay offers flexibility in payment options, allowing customers to combine it with other payment methods. Here’s how it works:

  1. Partial Afterpay Payment: Choose the amount you want to pay using Afterpay for your dental procedure.
  2. Afterpay Processing: Tap your Afterpay Card on the card reader to process this portion of the payment.
  3. Additional Payment Methods: Use cash, credit, or debit card to cover the remaining balance of your dental bill.

Missing an Afterpay payment can lead to several consequences that affect your account and future purchasing ability. It’s important to understand these potential outcomes to manage your payments responsibly. Here’s what happens if you miss an Afterpay payment:

  • Account Suspension:
    Your account is immediately paused, preventing new purchases until payments are up to date.
  • Late Fees:
    An initial $10 late fee is charged, with a possible additional $7 fee if the payment remains unpaid after seven days.
  • Reduced Spending Limit:
    Your spending limit may decrease because Afterpay considers repayment history when determining limits.
  • Collection Actions:
    Prolonged non-payment may result in account restrictions or debt collection actions.
