Introduction

This guide describes the steps to quickly install, configure, test and activate the AfterPay payment methods in your Lightspeed connected store.

Lightspeed currently offers this payment method:

14-day invoice - This is the default 14-day invoice payment method in AfterPay. It is primarily meant for business-to-consumer sales.
Direct Debit - This is a Direct Debit version of the 14-day invoice payment method Instead of receiving an invoice to be paid via their bank, the customer enters their bank details, and the money is immediately deducted from their bank account.
B2B invoice - This is the B2B consumer version of the default 14-day invoice payment method in AfterPay.

Setup

In this chapter we will explain how you can configure AfterPay for your Lightspeed connected webshop(s).

AfterPay configuration in Lightspeed

STEP 1
Click on “Settings” in the menu on the left and then on Payment providers on the right under the heading “Payment settings”

STEP 2
Click on AfterPay in the overview of Payment providers. Is AfterPay not listed yet? Then click on “Add payment provider” in the top right corner, find AfterPay in the list and click on add.

STEP 3
Now take the e-mail with the AfterPay settings and check the following fields;

Activate the payment method (check)
Set visibility to Consumers and B2B
Set the mode to Live
Enter the Merchant ID from the email at Merchant
Fill in NL B2C Dig. inv. Portfolio ID Enter the Portfolio ID from the email
Fill in NL B2C Dig. inv. Portfolio Password enter the password from the email
Save the changes by clicking “Save”

(In addition to the Dutch consumer connection, did you receive more AfterPay connections in the e-mail? Then go to step 4. Otherwise, you can immediately continue with step 5)

STEP 4
There are a total of 4 AfterPay payment methods. In addition to the Dutch consumer connection, we have the following additional connections;

NL B2C Dir. The B. (One-off direct debit)
NL B2B Digit. inv. (NL Business connection)
BE B2C Digital. inv. (Belgian consumer connection)

For each additional connection that you have purchased from us, you will only need to enter the Wallet ID and Password. Then you can save the settings again.

STEP 5
Once all settings are correct, you will really have to activate the various connections.
That is a matter of activating the correct connections with a check mark as in the example below. After that you can save the settings and you are done with setting up the connections.

Additional settings

STEP 1
Click on “Cost per method” in the additional settings within AfterPay

STEP 2
Now you get an overview of all activated connections and the different settings.

You can enter a minimum amount per connection so that customers only see AfterPay from a certain amount. (Often an amount between € 10 & € 20 is entered here)

In addition, you can also enter the maximum amounts per connection. You can find these in the email, but the image below also shows the correct amounts per connection.

Visual guidelines

In this chapter we will explain the AfterPay visual guidelines you need to apply to your webshop.

Logos and banners

For convenience and a familiar customer experience, please integrate/enclose the AfterPay logo in your Checkout next to the payment method. Please refer to our Merchant Playbook for full details on how to make the customer experience smooth and frictionless.

When Implementing the AfterPay logo throughout the shopping experience please ensure you are using our URL, not by downloading the image. The AfterPay logos are hosted on a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to ensure the best performance and availability for your website. Furthermore, you do not have to care about changes, which are all done by AfterPay.

We provide two types of logos through our CDN - .svg and .png. We recommend using the AfterPay logo as a .svg file with regard to the quality and size of the file. If you prefer .png just change the end of the URL to .png. We also offer the AfterPay logo in different color schemes. Depending on your individual website background, choose the AfterPay logo that fits best.

Description	Copy URL	Logo
AfterPay Checkout Logo in SVG, 4.3Kb	https://cdn.myafterpay.com/logo/AfterPay_logo_checkout.svg
AfterPay Black Logo in SVG, 5.44Kb	https://cdn.myafterpay.com/logo/AfterPay_logo_black.svg
AfterPay White Logo in SVG, 5.61Kb	https://cdn.myafterpay.com/logo/AfterPay_logo_white.svg

Terms and conditions

AfterPay mandates that it is mandatory for a consumer to be presented with AfterPay's terms and conditions and Privacy Policy upon checkout. Thus the option to display the T&C should be always enabled in the plugin configuration. In certain cases where you would like to incorporate the AfterPay T&C and Privacy Policy within your own Terms and Conditions, this must be done only with approval from AfterPay's legal counsel. After approval include the country specific T&C and Privacy Policy resources.

Last steps

In this chapter we will explain which steps you need to take to complete the integration with Lightspeed.

Last check (Only applicable for the BeNeLux)

Now that AfterPay is live, we only have to check whether orders are also coming in properly.
You can test this per AfterPay connection by placing a rejected order:

STEP 1
Go to the webshop, and place a product in the shopping cart.

STEP 2
Go to checkout and fill in the necessary information, for the email address you have to enter rejection@afterpay.nl.

STEP 3
Choose the payment method AfterPay and finish the order.

RESULT
The AfterPay order should be rejected. If this is not the case and instead you receive a technical error or an authorization error please contact your AfterPay Implementation Manager.

Done

Congratulations! You just went live with your AfterPay connection. Please notify your AfterPay Implementation Manager that you went live. If you encounter any issues in the upcoming week you can contact your AfterPay Implementation Manager. After that period you can contact our local Merchant Desk for help.
