If you're an avid Amazon shopper, you may have realized that the popular payment method Afterpay isn't supported by the online retailer. While Amazon doesn't accept Afterpay directly, however, there are two workaround methods you can use to pay for your Amazon purchases using Afterpay: single-use payments and Amazon gift cards. Keep reading this article to learn more.

Things You Should Know

  • You can shop directly on the Afterpay app to buy Amazon items using a single-use payment, which functions exactly like a normal Afterpay payment.
  • Make sure to not save your Afterpay single-use payment as your default Amazon payment method, or your next Amazon purchase will be declined.
  • Some users can buy Amazon gift cards on Afterpay, though their availability may be limited by your location or Afterpay account age.

    You can use the Afterpay app to shop directly on Amazon, and you can pay with a single-use payment. Single-use payments are currently not available on Afterpay.com. [1]
    • Single-use payments allow you to shop at retailers like Amazon that don't normally take Afterpay while still letting you pay in installments over six weeks, interest free.
