"The addition of Afterpay across our brand portfolio reflects our appreciation of how today's customers want to shop and pay," said Willis Hill, Chief Information Officer for Caleres. "We've already seen the positive impact of Afterpay in our initial rollout, with customers embracing the flexibility to split their purchases into manageable payments, both online and in-store. This expanded partnership allows us to offer this valuable payment option across our entire family of brands, making our diverse footwear collections more accessible to fashion-conscious consumers who prefer to pay over time."

"Fall is a time when consumers are actively refreshing their footwear, from cold-weather essentials to back-to-school shopping," said Tanuj Parikh, Head of Sales, North America, Cash App Commerce. "Our expanded partnership with Caleres brings flexible payments to their diverse portfolio of brands, empowering shoppers to build their summer wardrobe responsibly while maintaining better control over their spending."
