Why Connect Afterpay to Timely?

Online orders in Afterpay and in-store inventory in Timely are never in sync, frustrating customers

Timely adds complexity: integration ecosystem is limited compared to Cliniko, with fewer connections to broader business tools and marketing platforms

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

Patient appointment data in Afterpay and billing records in Timely require double entry, risking compliance issues

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

Manually copying data between Afterpay and Timely wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

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