How to unsubscribe from Afterpay emails
Here is how to unsubscribe from Afterpay emails in under a minute: open the app, tap Account → Communication settings → Marketing Communications, and switch the Marketing emails toggle off. On the web the same control sits under Account → Preferences at afterpay.com, and every marketing email also carries an Unsubscribe link at the bottom. What the toggle never touches - deliberately - is the servicing side: installment reminders, order receipts, and account or service updates keep coming, which is how it should be while a payment schedule is live.

In the app: Communication settings
- Open Afterpay and go to Account.
- Select Communication settings.
- Select Marketing Communications.
- Toggle Marketing emails off. The Push notifications toggle beside it controls promotional push, so flip that too if the app's deal alerts annoy you.
On the web: Account preferences
- Sign in at afterpay.com.
- Go to Account.
- Select Preferences.
- Update the preference under Marketing emails.
Afterpay warns that changes may take a short time to apply across its systems, so do not re-toggle in a panic if one more promo lands the next day. And when you cannot be bothered to sign in at all, the footer Unsubscribe link in any marketing email does the job on its own - modern mail clients like Gmail and Apple Mail often lift that same opt-out into a one-click button at the top of the message, which is the least effort of all.
The mail that should survive your cleanup
Afterpay's own help wording is worth repeating: it may still send important non-marketing messages about your account, orders, and service updates. For a pay-in-4 service those are consumer protections, not clutter. An installment reminder that arrives two days before a charge is your chance to check the linked card has funds; a receipt is your proof of what was paid; a service update can change how your plan works. Opting out of marketing while keeping all three is the whole point of doing this properly - never chase the reminders themselves, and never let a cleanup tool talk you into it either.

While you are at it: the other pay-later senders
Afterpay, Klarna, and Affirm compete at the same checkouts, which means plenty of shoppers receive marketing from all three - and Afterpay's parent company Block also runs Cash App, with its own separate email stream. ClearMyInbox scans your inbox once and lets you clear every one of those marketing lists in a single pass.
Trust, then verify the opt-out
Toggles get missed, saves fail, and some lists lag. About a month after you unsubscribe, ClearMyInbox re-reads your inbox to see whether Afterpay marketing genuinely stopped and labels the sender Confirmed stopped - or tells you it is still sending, in which case the footer link on the offending email or a support message is the next move.

If you filter, filter narrowly
Blocking the whole Afterpay domain is the one mistake to avoid here, because installment reminders come from the same brand as the promos and silencing them risks a missed payment. Build any Gmail filter around the specific promotional sender address, choose Skip Inbox over Delete, and leave the servicing mail alone - the wider filtering guide is at how to stop unwanted emails on Gmail.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Afterpay marketing email setting?▾
In the app: Account, then Communication settings, then Marketing Communications, where a Marketing emails toggle lives next to a Push notifications toggle. On the web: sign in at afterpay.com, go to Account, select Preferences, and update the Marketing emails preference there.
Will I still get my installment payment reminders?▾
Yes. Afterpay says it may still send important non-marketing messages about your account, orders, and service updates after you opt out of marketing. Payment-due reminders and receipts are exactly that kind of message, and with a pay-in-4 schedule running you should keep them.
How long does the Afterpay opt-out take to kick in?▾
Afterpay notes that preference changes may take a short time to apply across its systems, so an email arriving a day or two after you toggled off is not proof the setting failed. Judge it over the following week or two.
Does the unsubscribe link in an Afterpay email work?▾
Yes - every Afterpay marketing email includes an Unsubscribe link at the bottom, and following it stops marketing emails without signing in. The Communication settings screen is still worth a visit if you also want promotional push notifications off.
How do I stop Afterpay promotional push notifications?▾
In the app under Account, open Communication settings and toggle Push notifications off under Marketing Communications. Your phone's system settings can silence Afterpay entirely, but that also mutes payment alerts, which is not a good idea mid-plan.
Is Afterpay the same sender as Cash App?▾
Afterpay is owned by Block, the company behind Cash App, but it emails from its own brand and its preferences are managed in the Afterpay account, not in Cash App. If you use both, each needs its own opt-out.
