How does Afterpay work? 

Afterpay allows customers to enjoy their shopping now - and pay later.

Consumers can buy clothes, shoes and accessories online after selecting Afterpay in checkout as payment method. Then have the online purchases delivered to your door without paying a cent.

Over four installments, customers pay off their purchase every fortnight - all with no interest or fees.

The only fees Afterpay charges are late fees for missed payments.

'THIS IS NOT A DRILL. KMART IS GETTING AFTERPAY!! Launching online mid September. Minimum order $70 Maximum order $1,000', one shopper wrote.

Earlier on Wednesday, shoppers claimed Kmart staff members in stores had directly confirmed to them the speculations were true.

'A few people have confirmed this in store and via the phone with Kmart staff themselves who have confirmed it's launching 18th of September,' one said.

'I've called head office and this has been confirmed by them,' another wrote.

Another shopper posted: 'They've confirmed to it everyone calling. It's 100 per cent true, Afterpay is coming to Kmart online.'

One chimed in: 'I spoke directly with Kmart HQ and they confirmed it's true.'

And another commented: 'My sister-in-law works for Kmart, they were briefed on it yesterday during a team meeting, it's definitely happening. Staff in-store have also confirmed. I called head office and they confirmed.'

Afterpay allows consumers to buy clothes, shoes and accessories online and then have them delivered to the door without paying a cent.

Almost like a reverse lay-by, shoppers pay the balance over four equal installments, due every two weeks - all with no interest or fees.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
