Affirm provides point-of-sale financing solutions as an alternative to traditional credit cards. Its main service is the "buy now, pay later" (BNPL) model, which allows consumers to make purchases and pay for them over time through installment plans, often without hidden fees. Affirm partners with merchants to integrate its payment solutions into both online and in-store shopping experiences, using user-friendly plugins and APIs. This integration requires minimal technical effort from merchants. Affirm earns revenue through interest and fees on the loans it provides to consumers, as well as fees from merchants who offer its financing options. The company also provides a merchant dashboard for transaction processing and sales training, helping businesses effectively market these financing options. Affirm's goal is to empower consumers with flexible payment options while providing value to merchants in the e-commerce and retail sectors.
