Introduction: Afterpay on Shopify — Now Without Cards or App Installs

Traditional Afterpay integration on Shopify relies on cards, apps, or embedded widgets — often adding friction at checkout. But what if you could let customers pay with Afterpay directly using just a phone and no app?

With SensePass, you can.

SensePass allows Shopify merchants to offer native Afterpay payments — both online and in-store — using QR codes or NFC tags, with no app downloads, no Afterpay cards, and no checkout plugins.

This article walks you through how to integrate Afterpay into Shopify via SensePass for a frictionless, hardware-free experience. Learn more about the benefits of BNPL for merchants. 

 Why Use SensePass for Afterpay on Shopify?

 Step-by-Step: How to Integrate Afterpay via SensePass on Shopify

Step 1: Login to Shopify Admin

Go to admin.shopify.com and sign in to your account.

Step 2: Fetch and Send Your Store URL

Navigate to Settings in Shopify and copy your store URL (e.g., yourbrand.myshopify.com).

Send this URL to the SensePass onboarding team:
nir@sensepass.com

Step 3: Accept the Store Access Request

You’ll receive a Shopify-generated email from SensePass. Click:

• “View Request”

• Then “Accept Request” (do not change permissions)

Step 4: SensePass Remotely Configures Afterpay

The SensePass team will set up Afterpay as a direct payment method via their payment orchestration layer. No coding or app install required on your end.

 Shopify POS Integration for In-Store Afterpay

You can also use Afterpay in-store with Shopify POS through SensePass:

How it Works:

• Shopper taps a QR tag or NFC sticker

• They’re redirected to a payment screen

• They select Afterpay (or any other available method)

• Once completed, the Shopify order updates as “Paid” in real time

Set It Up:

1. Open Shopify POS and go to More → Settings

2. Copy your Register ID

3. Log into SensePass Partners Dashboard

4. Navigate to POS/Register → + Create

   • Use your Register ID

   • Select “QR & NFC” pairing

   • Vendor: Shopify

   • Type: POS Paired

 Why This Method Is Better Than Traditional Afterpay Integration

With SensePass, you’re not just offering Afterpay — you’re creating a modern, card-free, app-free payment experience:

• No cards: Customers don’t need Afterpay-issued cards

• No app installs: Payment happens instantly via mobile browser

• Omnichannel ready: Works on both Shopify online and Shopify POS

• Flexible: Combine Afterpay with other methods (open banking, wallets, crypto)

Order & Refund Management

After a customer pays with Afterpay via SensePass:

• The order in Shopify is marked as Paid

• Refunds (full or partial) are managed directly from Shopify’s Orders tab

• No additional apps or portals needed

 Pro Tip: Use NFC & QR Tags In-Store

SensePass supports physical tags:

• ✅ Stickers for product shelves or checkout counters

• ✅ Self-checkout flow via QR scanning

• ✅ “Tap & Pay” experience with branded tags

These can drastically speed up in-store conversions and reduce friction at the POS.
