This Is The Secret To A Stress-Free Back To College Shopping Experience

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

Heading back to campus (or heading to campus for the first time!) is an extremely exciting moment, between new clothes for class, the smell of a fresh notebook, and shopping for dorm decor to create a cozy space for the year.

But, with all of that excitement comes a lot of shopping, which equals a lot of spending. But, of course, these are things we not only want but also things that we need – and sometimes, the list of our back-to-school must-haves can be overwhelming for both our brains and our bank accounts.

Luckily, with Afterpay, there’s a way to pay better. Afterpay helps you to budget and allows you to make purchases – both big and small – and pay for them in four installments, over the course of six weeks. So, the overwhelming feeling you might have when thinking about the total cost of your books, your school supplies, all the dorm necessities, and your stylish new ‘fits, isn’t so scary. 

Want to learn more about Afterpay and all of the perks?! Check out the list below:

Afterpay gives shoppers the freedom to buy what they want today and pay over 6 weeks, interest free.

Afterpay’s payment plan helps you manage your purchases and budget better! So, if you purchase this adorable Polaroid Instant Camera to help capture all of those special moments in college, you can pay in four installments of $25, with only $25 due upfront.

The product you purchase still ships immediately after you make that first payment.

It is totally interest-free and there are no additional costs, as long as you pay on time.

A ton of your favorite brands and businesses offer Afterpay as a purchase option on their online websites.

Shop your favorite brands on Afterpay, across fashion and beauty, kitchen and dining, fitness, home decor and more! Popular brands like Old Navy, ULTA, Bed Bath & Beyond, Crocs, Levi’s, and Puma – to name a few – all have the option to shop with Afterpay.

It takes less than five minutes to create an account.

Add your email, name, DOB, phone number and you’re ready to pay better!

There’s an app available to help you manage your account and shop on the go.

Did you get inspo after seeing someone at the store with the cutest outfit, and you want it for that hot date night coming up? If you download the app (which is available on both the App Store and Google Play), you can browse and purchase all your faves wherever you are, and without breaking the schedule in your everyday routine.

It encourages responsible spending and mindful shopping.

As exciting as heading back to school, it can also be expensive, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t treat ourselves! Afterpay allows us to buy what we want and what we need responsibly, *and* reminds us to keep track of our finances.

So now that you’re in the know about all the benefits and perks of Afterpay, are you ready to pay better?!
