Square Enables BNPL Functionality Through the Integration of Clearpay in the UK

Square launches 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.

"We're thrilled to be integrating Clearpay both in-store and online in the UK," said Alyssa Henry, Head of Square. "The integration across platforms furthers our goal to give sellers of all sizes omnichannel tools that help them to grow by meeting consumer shopping habits, whatever and wherever they are. Clearpay provides our ecosystem with a new tool beyond an alternative payment method; it enables an omnichannel commerce solution that can offer true value to our sellers."

Since integration has taken place across the U.S and Australia, a combined Square and Clearpay has already proven to attract new shoppers and drive incremental revenue for sellers of all sizes

Rich Bayer, UK Country Manager at Clearpay, said:"We're delighted to make Clearpay available to Square's sellers to help them grow their businesses. These businesses can now offer more payment flexibility to their customers via Clearpay, giving them the tools to attract young and engaged shoppers who want BNPL as their preferred payment method."
