What is the BigCommerce + Afterpay integration

Cart abandonment often has less to do with your product and more to do with checkout friction. When shoppers hit the payment step and realize they can’t split the cost, they pause, compare, and sometimes leave – and your team only sees it later in reports. Bigcommerce Afterpay integration adds Afterpay as a payment method in your Bigcommerce checkout, so eligible shoppers can choose “buy now, pay later” without leaving the flow. Orders are still created in Bigcommerce as usual, while payment authorization and capture are handled through Afterpay based on the transaction outcome. This setup fits if you run Bigcommerce and want Afterpay BNPL available in checkout without custom payment logic.

How the BigCommerce Afterpay integration works technically

• Afterpay is registered as a payment option in Bigcommerce checkout, and the checkout session is handed off to Afterpay for authorization.

• Order totals, currency, tax, shipping, discounts, and line items are sent to Afterpay as part of the payment request payload.

• Afterpay returns an authorization result, and the Bigcommerce order is created with a matching payment reference and status based on that response.

• Captures, voids, and refunds are processed through Afterpay, and corresponding transaction updates are reflected back on the Bigcommerce order record.

• Webhook callbacks handle asynchronous updates, and failures are logged with request IDs for traceability and reconciliation.

• Test and production credentials are separated, and environment-specific endpoints route traffic to the correct Afterpay merchant account.
