Sports apparel and merchandise retailer Fanatics has named Afterpay as its preferred partner for buy now, pay later (BNPL) payments processing.
The move means that shoppers across Fanatics’ ecommerce sites can now use Afterpay’s “Pay in 4” and “Pay Monthly” offerings. Pay in 4 allows consumers to make their purchases and then complete their payments in four installments over six weeks, without interest. Meanwhile, Pay Monthly allows consumers to complete payments over 24 months for purchases from $100 to $20,000.
Fanatics is No. 13 in the Top 1000 Database. The market research tool tracks North America’s largest online retailers, ranking them by annual ecommerce sales and more.
Fanatics is also No. 132 in Digital Commerce 360’s new AI Rankings. That set of rankings is available in the Top 1000 Pro with AI Database.
“Afterpay gives our customers the flexibility today’s shoppers expect, so fans can support their teams and celebrate the biggest moments in sports,” said Tucker Kain, chief strategy and growth officer at Fanatics, in a statement. “This feature allows us to further our mission to relentlessly enhance the fan experience, whether that’s through the personalized discovery Fanatics Ads brings to shopping, the live energy of Fanatics Fest, or the flexibility Afterpay offers at checkout, and make our world-class assortment of products available and accessible in more ways than ever before.”
The retailer and Afterpay had already established a relationship that included partnering for Fanatics Fest in summer 2026. Fanatics Fest is a multi-day sports, collecting and cultural festival.
