Financing: Pay Over Time with Afterpay or Affirm
Take it home now. Pay over time.
Radique now offers Afterpay and Affirm at checkout, so you can spread the cost of your next amplifier, turntable or pair of speakers. There's nothing to apply for through us and no waiting for a text link: choose one when you check out, get a decision in moments, and your order goes ahead like any other. Rather not use credit at all? Our own layaway plan, Cue It Up, holds your piece while you pay it off.
Available to Canadian residents paying in Canadian dollars. Approval and terms are set by Afterpay and Affirm.
Which option fits which order
Afterpay or Affirm is offered at checkout depending on your order total, including shipping and tax. Cue It Up works on any order of $500 or more before tax. All amounts are in Canadian dollars.
Afterpay
4 interest-free payments over 6 weeks
- The first payment is taken at checkout, the other three every two weeks.
- No interest, ever, and no fees when you pay on time.
- Afterpay doesn't run a credit check to assess creditworthiness.
Example: an $800 order becomes four payments of $200.
Affirm
Monthly payments over a term you choose
- See your rate, your monthly payment and the full cost of the plan, including any interest, before you agree.
- Rates from 0% to 31.99% APR, depending on your eligibility and province.
- No late fees, and no penalty for paying your plan off early.
- Checking your eligibility uses a soft credit check, which doesn't affect your credit score.
Ideal for a complete system: a receiver, a pair of towers and a turntable in one order.
Cue It Up
Layaway: 20% down, then 6 or 12 monthly payments
- No credit check and no application. It isn't credit: we hold the piece for you until it's paid off.
- One layaway fee, 6% or 12%, on the price before tax. No interest.
- Pay by Interac e-Transfer at no extra cost, or by card. Pay off the rest any time.
- Price locked, and off sale to everyone else, from your deposit.
Example: a $900 piece on the 6-month plan, picked up in Ontario ($1,078.02 with the fee and HST). It's yours within 5 business days of the last payment.

Financing questions, answered
Which option can I use for my order?
It depends on your order total at checkout, including shipping and tax. Orders from $500 to $2,000 can use Afterpay. Orders of $2,000 and up can use Affirm. Orders under $500 are paid by credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Cue It Up, our layaway plan, works on any order of $500 or more before tax, shipping to or picked up in Canada (not yet in Quebec); consignment pieces aren't eligible.
Does Afterpay charge interest or fees?
Afterpay never charges interest, and there are no fees when you pay on time. If a payment is late, Afterpay may charge a late fee under its own terms; in Canada its late fees are capped at 25% of the order price and never exceed $68 per order. See afterpay.com for current terms.
Does Affirm charge interest?
It can. Affirm offers rates from 0% to 31.99% APR, depending on your eligibility and province. You see the exact rate, your monthly payment and the total cost before you agree, and Affirm doesn't charge late fees. See affirm.com for current terms.
Will using Afterpay or Affirm affect my credit?
Afterpay doesn't run credit checks to assess creditworthiness. Affirm checks your eligibility with a soft credit check, which doesn't affect your credit score. Each provider explains its own practices on its website.
Why don't I see Afterpay or Affirm at checkout?
The usual reasons: your order total is under $500, your billing address isn't in Canada, or the store currency is set to something other than Canadian dollars. Switch the currency selector at the top of the page to $ CAD and check your billing address. New Afterpay accounts also start with a lower spending limit that grows with on-time payments, so a larger order may be declined at first. If you're still stuck, contact us.
What if Afterpay or Affirm turns me down?
You can still get it with Cue It Up, Radique's layaway plan: no credit check, 20% down and the rest over 6 or 12 months by Interac e-Transfer or card. We hold the piece for you at the price you paid, then ship it or have it ready for pickup once it's paid off. It's for orders of $500 or more in Canada (not yet in Quebec), and consignment pieces aren't eligible. See how Cue It Up works.
Can I use financing for pickup or delivery orders?
Yes. Once your order is approved it's placed like any other, and we prepare it for shipping or for pickup.
Can I pay my plan off early?
Yes. You can pay ahead in the Afterpay or Affirm app or website at any time, and Affirm doesn't charge a penalty for paying early.
What happens if I return something?
If a return is approved, we refund it through Afterpay or Affirm and they adjust your plan. Your warranty and Trade-Back eligibility are the same whichever way you pay.
I have a Humm plan with Radique. Does anything change?
No. Existing plans continue with Humm as agreed. For new purchases, Afterpay and Affirm have replaced Humm.

Afterpay and Affirm are offered by their respective providers, subject to eligibility and approval. Radique doesn't set rates, limits, fees or approval decisions. Provider details on this page were checked in September 2026 and can change; the terms shown at checkout and on afterpay.com and affirm.com always apply. Cue It Up is Radique's own layaway plan: no credit is extended, and its terms are on the Cue It Up page.
