- Realizing you can’t afford the purchase after all.

Step-by-Step Guide to Cancelling Your Afterpay Order
Canceling your Afterpay order may vary slightly depending on the retailer or platform you’re purchasing from. However, the general process remains similar across most purchases. Follow the steps below to cancel your Afterpay order quickly and easily:
1. Log In to Your Afterpay Account
First, you need to access your Afterpay account. Whether you’re using the mobile app or the desktop website, make sure you’re logged in with your credentials.
- Open the Afterpay app on your phone or visit www.afterpay.com on your browser.
- Enter your email address and password to log in.
- If you’ve forgotten your login information, use the “Forgot Password” option to recover your account.
2. Find the Order You Want to Cancel
Once logged in, navigate to your recent orders or transaction history. You’ll find a list of all your purchases made using Afterpay. Locate the order that you wish to cancel and click on it for more details.
3. Review the Order Details
Before proceeding with the cancellation, it’s essential to review your order details. Check whether the order has already been processed or shipped. If the item has already been dispatched, you may need to return it instead of directly canceling the order.
If the order is still in the “pending” status, cancellation is usually more straightforward.
4. Request Cancellation
If your order is eligible for cancellation, you can proceed with the process. Depending on the retailer, you might be able to cancel the order directly through the Afterpay app or website. If there’s no direct option to cancel, contact the retailer’s customer service for assistance.
- In the Afterpay app, go to the order details and look for a “Cancel Order” or “Request Cancellation” button.
- If you cannot find this option, check the retailer’s cancellation policy and reach out to their customer support team.
- Provide any necessary details, including your order number and the reason for cancellation.
5. Wait for Confirmation
Once you’ve submitted your cancellation request, wait for confirmation from Afterpay or the retailer. If your cancellation is approved, you’ll receive a notification confirming the cancellation. If your order has already shipped, you may need to initiate a return instead.
6. Refund Process
If your cancellation is successful, Afterpay will reverse the payment plan, and you won’t be charged for the order. The refund will be processed based on the retailer’s return policy, and your Afterpay payment schedule will be adjusted accordingly.
Troubleshooting Common Afterpay Cancellation Issues
While the cancellation process is generally straightforward, there are a few issues that might arise. Here are some common challenges you may encounter and how to resolve them:
1. My Order Has Already Been Shipped
If your order has been shipped, you won’t be able to cancel it directly through Afterpay. Instead, you must initiate a return once the item arrives. Most retailers offer return instructions on their website, but it’s always a good idea to contact customer support to confirm the procedure.
2. I Can’t Find the Cancellation Option
If you’re having trouble locating the cancellation button on your Afterpay account, it may be because the retailer does not support automatic cancellations. In this case, contacting the retailer directly is your best option. They can either assist with canceling the order or guide you on how to return the product if it has already been shipped.
3. Afterpay Won’t Refund Me
If you’ve followed the cancellation process and are still facing issues with a refund, contact Afterpay’s customer support. Provide them with all relevant details, including your order number and the communication you’ve had with the retailer. Afterpay’s support team can help resolve any issues related to the refund process.
4. My Payment Plan Isn’t Updated
If Afterpay hasn’t updated your payment plan after a successful cancellation, you may need to manually contact Afterpay support. Ensure you have all relevant details, including the confirmation of cancellation from the retailer or Afterpay, so that they can adjust your payment schedule accordingly.
Can I Cancel Afterpay Orders After the Payment Plan Has Started?
Once you’ve started paying for an order through Afterpay, canceling it becomes more complicated. Afterpay’s policy typically doesn’t allow cancellations once the payment plan is active, but the option for a return or refund still exists through the retailer. If you’re experiencing difficulty with cancellations after payment has begun, be sure to check both Afterpay’s and the retailer’s return policies.
Conclusion: Managing Afterpay Orders with Confidence
Canceling an order made with Afterpay is not as complicated as it may seem. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can effectively cancel your purchase, request a refund, and adjust your payment plan if necessary. Always be aware of the retailer’s return and cancellation policies, as they may affect your ability to cancel the order directly through Afterpay.
Remember, if you encounter any issues during the cancellation process, both Afterpay and the retailer’s customer service teams are there to assist you. Don’t hesitate to reach out to resolve any challenges that arise. With these tools at your disposal, you can shop confidently knowing that managing your Afterpay orders is easy and stress-free.
