IKEA now accepts Afterpay in-store and online, empowering home furnishing enthusiasts looking to ‘build in four, while paying it in four’.
Afterpay customers can shop at any of IKEA’s 10 stores and three Plan and Order points nationwide or online and spread costs across four interest-free fortnightly instalments. The new offering coincides with IKEA’s Black Friday sales with up to 40% off selected products.
IKEA Australia deputy digital manager, Daniela Altiparmakova said, “We are always looking to create a more convenient shopping experience at IKEA Australia. Affordability has never been more important to our customers, and now with Afterpay, we can provide even more flexible ways to purchase the home furnishings of their dreams.
“Whether it’s making a small or big upgrade around the house, preparing the home for entertaining over summer, or finding the perfect Christmas gift at IKEA, our customers can now enjoy the convenience and freedom that Afterpay offers.”
Afterpay executive vice president and country manager, Katrina Konstas added, “Australians are passionate about home renovation and design, and nothing embodies this more than our national love for IKEA. Over the past five years, we’ve seen a 127% increase in Afterpay sales within the home and garden category.
“We are thrilled to be providing Afterpay customers at IKEA with a new and enhanced shopping experience that will help Australians transform their homes while balancing their spending.”
To checkout with Afterpay in-store, customers need to download the Afterpay app and add the Afterpay Card to their digital wallet (Google Pay or Apple Pay) and tap to pay.
