Held across a total of four days, Afterpay Day’s second instalment of 2024 runs from August 15 to August 18, hosting a wide range of sales for shoppers to save on cult items.

How does Afterpay Day work?

During Afterpay Day, you’ll be able to access sales from various retailers who will be offering different discount rates.
