Due to the evolving crisis of COVID-19, Afterpay has made some changes to their payment schedules. All customers will now pay the first payment upfront until further notice. For more information, please click here.

Afterpay is a simple instalment plan, allowing you to pay for your order in four equal instalments, due every fortnight!

Afterpay is available to all people who:

• Live in Australia;
• Are at least 18 years old
• Can enter into a legally binding contract
• Have a valid and verifiable email address, mobile number; and
• Use an Australian credit or debit card to make a purchase. You are not required to fill out a credit application form.

How to use AfterPay in store
Prior to heading in-store, we recommend downloading the official Afterpay App! Available on iOS and Android.

Select Platypus in in-store retailers, select the amount of your purchase and follow the prompts to generate your in-store Afterpay barcode. Head in-store, grab your size and our team will assist from there!

How long is the barcode valid for?
Your barcode will be valid for 12 hours and is applicable for single use only. The maximum transaction value in-store is $800

When am I charged the first instalment?
The first instalment will be debited once your barcode has been scanned.

How can I refund my Afterpay Purchase?

Check out our guide on booking a return. 

When your refund is processed in store, AfterPay will send you an email and make the necessary adjustments to your payment schedule.
For example, if you've made two repayments you will be refunded for those two payments and all further payments will be cancelled. Unfortunately, we are unable to facilitate exchanges, but you are welcome to repurchase on a new barcode.

At any time, you can log in to your Afterpay account to see your payment schedule and make a payment before the due date. Otherwise, Afterpay will automatically deduct the instalments from your debit or credit card every fortnight.

If you have any further enquiries regarding Afterpay, you can check out their FAQs for more information.

We may cancel or delay delivery for orders where we require further payment information to process the purchase. Reasons include:

1. Request for additional information is refused or not received within the requested time
2. Request for the cardholder to contact us within the timeframe is not met
3. Purchase transaction does not pass our security check
4. The Purchase has connections to previous fraudulent orders
5. Purchase was made by an unauthorised alteration of our website.

 We genuinely care about the safety of our customers, their personal information and the protection of their funds.
 
Vans may require further verification of your order to ensure that it is authorised by the cardholder.
 
Our Customer Experience team may contact you via phone or email to confirm details of your order before it can be shipped. Don't be concerned if this happens to you. We check plenty of orders every single day and orders can be selected for various reasons.
 
This is to ensure that you have a great shopping experience with us! If you’re still unsure or have any concerns regarding your order being cancelled, please contact our Customer Experience team.

We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with your payment and may have been overcharged.

This may be due to a technical glitch. We do our best to ensure that this doesn't happen!

If you believe that you may have been overcharged, please get in contact with our Customer Experience team. Please provide us with the below information as it helps to speed up the process:

- Order number

- Screenshot showing the additional charge

Our team will be able to advise the next steps.

Please treat your gift card carefully as we are not obligated to reissue a new gift card except under certain circumstances where we may choose to.

While uncommon, from time to time we have an influx of customers all hoping to order the same item, we realise when attempting to fill these orders that unfortunately we can't fulfil them all.

If you have received an email about your order being oversold, this means that we were, unfortunately, unable to fulfil your entire order or part of your order. 

Our Terms & Conditions do also cover our oversell policy under section 4. Orders, Pricing & Availability - Vans Australia reserves the right to accept or reject your order for any reason, including, without limitation, the unavailability of any product, an error in the price or the product description posted on this website, or an error in your order.

When this happens, please be assured that your money has been refunded to your original payment method and can take anywhere from 3 - 5 business days to show back in your account. 

If you can not add a size to the cart, and experience the message 'out of stock', then, unfortunately, we are sold out.

We recommend speaking to a Vans Guru on 1800 875 277. Hit option 1 once prompted.

Our team will be able to look into stock levels for you and check if one of our stores has any stock left.

Occasionally we adjust the pricing on items if we have a current promotion or sale happening.

Unfortunately, we do not offer a price guarantee, so we are unable to provide a partial refund for an item that goes on sale after you've purchased it. We apologise for the inconvenience.
