Why Connect Afterpay to Cliniko?

Afterpay limitations compound the integration challenge: integration is primarily for e-commerce and retail with limited applicability for service businesses and B2B transactions

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Afterpay and Cliniko aligned

Invoice and payment data is re-entered between Afterpay and Cliniko manually, doubling the work and risking GST errors at month-end

Guest booking data in Afterpay and operations scheduling in Cliniko require manual coordination

Afterpay uses a REST + Webhook API while Cliniko uses REST, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

No single source of truth when invoices live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

How We Help

This integration eliminates the manual transfer of orders and payments data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, Afterpay uses a REST + Webhook API, and Cliniko authenticates via API key, which our team handles as part of the build.
