Afterpay now available in store and online at IKEA Australia
Just in time for the holiday season, Afterpay today announced that IKEA, Australia’s favourite Swedish home furnishing brand, now accepts Afterpay in-store and online. This exciting news empowers home furnishing enthusiasts looking to build in four, while paying it in four.
Afterpay customers will be able to shop at any of the 10 IKEA stores and 3 Plan and order points nationwide or online, enjoying the freedom to spread costs across four interest-free fortnightly instalments. Afterpay is giving Australian home furnishing enthusiasts greater choice and flexibility in how they pay - meaning the up-front cost of starting that new home project just got a little easier to manage.
This new offering arrives just in time for the IKEA Black Friday sales, allowing customers to secure incredible deals with up to 40% off selected products, including big ticket items like mattresses. With Afterpay, you can spread payments over time, making it easier to take advantage of major shopping events. Whether you're a renter enhancing your space or a homeowner planning renovations, Afterpay provides the convenience and flexibility to make your vision a reality.
Katrina Konstas, EVP, Country Manager at Afterpay said, “As a nation, we 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 Aussies transform their homes while balancing their spending."
Daniela Altiparmakova, Deputy Digital Manager at IKEA Australia 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.
