Canadians who do a lot of online shopping may have noticed how some brands offer something called Afterpay at checkout. It's a service that allows shoppers to pay for their purchases in smaller bi-weekly instalments rather than one price upfront.

Don't worry, something like this will not affect your credit score if you miss a payment. Afterpay Canada will never charge late or interest fees. Instead, they'll freeze your account so you can't buy anything else until the owed amount is completely paid off.

The company is calling November 19 "Done Day" because it's the last day to do your holiday shopping on Afterpay and be fully paid by January 1, 2022. Who wants to start off the new year with a hefty credit card bill, anyway?

There are hundreds of retailers that allow customers to buy items and pay over time with no fees. Here are some of the most popular brands in Canada.
