About

Afterpay is a buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) payment service that lets shoppers split purchases into installment plans at checkout both online and in stores without interest if payments are made on time.

It offers "Pay in 4" plans generally over six weeks with automatic debit from a linked card, optional longer monthly plans for larger purchases, instant approval decisions without traditional credit checks, and app-based payment management with reminders.

Google Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service developed by Google that enables users to make contactless and online payments using supported Android phones, tablets, and wearable devices.

It supports NFC-based tap-to-pay, secure tokenization instead of sharing card numbers, storage of payment cards, transit passes, tickets, and loyalty cards, in-app and web payments, biometric authentication, and broad compatibility with banks and payment networks in many countries.
