Afterpay Gateway for WooCommerce

51 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

With 10,000 active installs the plugin has a modest but real user base, reflecting niche demand for Afterpay specifically rather than broad checkout payment coverage.

Update Freshness

8/25

Last updated in March 2025 and tested against WordPress 6.7.7, the plugin is current, but the low maintenance subscore suggests limited release activity over time.

User Rating

11/15

A 72 out of 100 rating from 45 reviewers is a respectable but middling score, indicating most users are satisfied but a notable minority reported problems.

Support Health

8/15

Only 2 support threads exist and both are resolved, giving a 100% resolution rate, though the tiny thread count means this metric is not statistically meaningful.

WP Compatibility

8/15

Requires PHP 7.4 and WordPress 6.0.3 or higher, covering the vast majority of modern hosting environments, which is why the compatibility score lands at a reasonable 50.

What It Does

Afterpay Gateway for WooCommerce adds Afterpay, the buy now pay later service, as a payment option at checkout in WooCommerce stores. It integrates with Afterpay's API so eligible customers can split purchases into four interest-free instalments. The plugin handles order capture, refund processing, and basic display settings for the Afterpay button.

Who It's For

This plugin is a good fit for small to mid-sized WooCommerce retailers selling consumer goods in regions where Afterpay operates and whose target customers expect instalment payment options. Stores with average order values within Afterpay's transaction limits will benefit most.

Who Should Skip It

If your store does not ship to Afterpay-supported countries or your average cart value falls outside Afterpay's allowed range, this plugin adds no value. Larger merchants processing high transaction volumes should consider Afterpay's official or enterprise-grade integrations instead.

The Bottom Line

Afterpay Gateway for WooCommerce does the narrow job it promises, but its overall quality score of 51.48 out of 100 and limited support history suggest it is adequate rather than exceptional. It is a reasonable choice for stores that specifically need Afterpay and accept the tradeoffs of a smaller, less actively maintained codebase. Merchants wanting deeper checkout feature sets or stronger long term support should evaluate alternatives.

Choose Forminator if your real need is building custom payment or registration forms across the site, not specifically adding Afterpay at checkout.

Product Feed PRO for WooCommerce by AdTribes 91/100

Pick this alternative when you need to push WooCommerce products into shopping and comparison feeds rather than expand payment options.

User Registration & Membership 90/100

Reach for User Registration if your priority is memberships, subscriptions, or restricted content rather than a buy now pay later gateway.

Featured Image from URL (FIFU) 90/100

FIFU is the better pick when you want external images to populate WooCommerce product galleries, a totally different problem from payment processing.

Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce 88/100

Choose this PayPal plugin if your customers demand PayPal, Venmo, or Pay Later via PayPal rather than Afterpay's four-instalment model.
