If your Afterpay account has been frozen or blocked then it is important you understand why. And most importantly how to get your account unfrozen.
Many shoppers find they get the following error messages from Afterpay, “afterpay account blocked from making purchases” or “your account is currently frozen. this order cannot be completed”.
If you have received either of these messages then it is likely that your account has been blocked or frozen.
The most common reason your account has been frozen is because you have missed a payment. However people also report having their account frozen when they haven’t missed a payment.
Another reason might be that you changed personal details such as your home address or you may have canceled a card or payment option linked to your Afterpay account.
