Are you looking for simple ways to pay your Homemakers bill? You’re not alone! Many Homemakers customers wonder about the best payment options available. As someone who’s navigated this process multiple times, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about Homemakers bill pay options.
Understanding Homemakers Bill Payment Options
When you make your first purchase using your Homemakers account you’ll typically receive your first bill about 4-6 weeks after receiving your merchandise. Homemakers (which is connected to Nebraska Furniture Mart) offers several convenient ways to pay your bill without any hassle.
Option 1: Pay Online Through NFM’s System
The most convenient way to pay your Homemakers bill is through Nebraska Furniture Mart’s secure online payment system. This is my personal favorite method because it lets me manage everything from home!
Steps to pay online:
- Visit Nebraska Furniture Mart’s secure online payment system
- If it’s your first time, create an NFM.com account
- Note that this account is separate from your Homemakers.com account used for purchases
- Log in and follow the prompts to make your payment
Remember that your NFM account and Homemakers account are different – you’ll need to create a specific account for bill payments if you haven’t already done so
Option 2: Pay In Person at the Urbandale Showroom
If you’re local to the Des Moines area, you can simply stop by the Homemakers showroom in Urbandale to make your payment:
Location details:
- Address: 10215 Douglas Ave, Urbandale, IA 50322 (a suburb of Des Moines)
- Store Hours:
- Monday-Wednesday: 10am – 7pm
- Thursday: 10am – 7pm
- Friday: 10am – 8pm

And here’s a fun tip – when you pay in person, you can grab a free cookie! Who doesn’t love that?
Option 3: Pay by Mail
If you prefer traditional methods, you can mail your payment to:
