Affirm provides point-of-sale financing solutions as an alternative to traditional credit cards, allowing consumers to make purchases and pay over time through installment plans without hidden fees. The company partners with merchants to integrate its "buy now, pay later" (BNPL) services into their sales platforms, both online and in-store. Affirm generates revenue from interest and fees on loans and from merchants who pay to offer its financing options. The goal is to empower consumers with flexible payment options while helping merchants increase sales.
