Afterpay
What is Afterpay?
AfterPay is an installment payment platform that lets you pay for your purchase using a credit or debit card. AfterPay automatically splits the purchase amount into 4 payments, every two weeks. AfterPay empowers our VanEstherFam to buy now and pay over time!
What information does Afterpay ask for?
AfterPay will ask for your name, address, date of birth, a US mobile number, email address and a US debit or credit card for sign up.

Will I be notified about my Afterpay installments?
AfterPay notifies customers with payment reminders via SMS and email before each payment is due.
When is my first Afterpay payment due?
Your first payment of 25% of the total purchase price is due at the time of checkout. The remaining three payments will be billed automatically, every two weeks from the first payment date.
How do full refunds work with Afterpay?
In cases where orders are cancelled and a full refund must be issued, customers are only refunded the amount they have paid to-date via their installments. AfterPay will then cancel all future payments. Refunds can take 2-3 business days to process, depending on the financial institution.
Example: You make a $100 purchase. You pay the first initial installment of $25 at checkout. Later, the order is cancelled. A refund of $25 is issued, and the remaining installments (which total out to $75) will be cancelled by AfterPay.
How do partial refunds work with Afterpay?
When a partial refund is issued in cases such as one item is out of stock out of several items, AfterPay will reduce the last installment amount by the amount that was refunded. If the refund amount is greater than the last installment amount, AfterPay will deduct the partial refund from your last and second to last installment - and so on.
Example: You make a $100 purchase. Each installment payment is $25 each. You pay the first initial installment of $25 at checkout. Later, Van Esther refunds $50 on your purchase. The value is applied to the last of their installments, and then to the next-to-last installment - and so on - until the entire refund amount has been applied. Below is a break down of what the refund(s) would look like.
- $25 - PAID.
- $25 - The second installment remains and is still due on the original due date.
- $25 - REFUNDED.
- $25 - REFUNDED
If I return my Afterpay order, will I receive a refund?
Online returns from Van Esther are refunded via store credit in the form of a Van Esther E-Gift Card code. Refunds issued for returned items do not affect your AfterPay installments. When returning items by mail on a purchase made using AfterPay, you will still need to complete your payments to AfterPay as Van Esther processes returns and refunds separately.
Please allow 5-7 business days after your return package is received at our Distribution Center for processing. You will receive an email after your return has been processed by our Returns Department. Your E-Gift Card code will be sent to the email on file for the order in question. This store credit can be used for online purchases on the Van Esther website and never expires!
