Aritzia rolls out pay-by-installment options for shoppers

Aritzia has rolled out a new payment program, just in time for holiday shopping.

The design house and fashion boutique has recently partnered with Afterpay, a finance and technology company that offers a “buy now, pay later” service for shoppers, without the use of a loan, fees, or interest.

When a customer purchases a product through Afterpay, they pay the first 25% of the item upfront. They receive the product over the same timeframe as a regular order and make the remaining payments over a short period of time.

The service is used in a number of fashion, beauty, and lifestyle retailers across North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.

“The fashion leader has quickly become a favourite among Afterpay customers who are looking to shop the latest fashion items this season,” says Melissa Davis, Afterpay’s Head of North America. “Whether it’s for themselves or for family and friends.”

Afterpay launched in Canada in August of 2020 and has more than 63,000 retail partners across the globe, including Herschel Supply Co., Native Shoes, Nixon, and Roots.
