Square launched its first integration with Clearpay in the UK, providing “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) functionality to sellers across online and in-person commerce. This marks another key milestone in the global integration of Clearpay (known as Afterpay outside the UK and Europe) following the acquisition of Afterpay by Block, as the UK will be the first market to launch BNPL available across all platforms at the same time, including in-store, online and can also be integrated by Square's developers and partners. The integration will enable Square sellers in the UK to offer a BNPL solution that allows customers to pay in four interest-free instalments over a six-week period while merchants get paid right away.

For online purchasing, Clearpay will now be embedded as a payment option within Square Online's checkout system, giving sellers the opportunity to improve their average purchase size, increase basket conversion and attract more customers. Sellers will be able to accept Clearpay in-person at the buyer checkout stage through any Square point of sale software - Square Point of Sale, Square Appointments, Square for Retail, and Square for Restaurants. Developers can consolidate transaction data and build and maintain a single integration for Square and Clearpay payments with a few lines of code within the Square Web Payments SDK.

Sellers who accept payments via Square's Virtual Terminal dashboard can offer Clearpay via text message Pay Links or by using Square Terminal hardware.
