The goal is to empower consumers with flexible payment options while helping merchants increase sales.

Buy now, pay later (BNPL) network Affirm has expanded its partnership with eCommerce infrastructure company Shopify. The renewed agreement, announced Thursday (Feb. 20), makes Affirm the exclusive pay-over-time provider for Shopify’s Shop Pay Installments program in the U.S. and Shopify’s home country of Canada, with plans to expand into the U.K. “Given the success of our long-standing partnership with Affirm in the U.S., bringing them to our merchants internationally is a no brainer,” Kaz Nejatian, Shopify’s chief operating officer, said in a news release
Earnings season, like clockwork, offers up a dizzying mosaic of data and qualitative analysis of revenues, profits (or lack thereof) and high-level views of the economy. The state of the consumer also comes into focus. In taking stock of what banks, payment networks and digital-only platforms have shown in their earnings reports, supplementals and on the conference calls, a few key trends stand out — from the technology consumers use to make payments in an omnichannel world, to the pressures they face as they grapple with debt.

Earlier this year, PYMNTS Intelligence detailed that pay-later options were drawing widespread use among consumers versus payments via traditional credit cards.The data showed that coming into the end of 2024, 56% of consumers used installment payment options in the last year. Within the various pay-later offerings, buy now, pay later (BNPL) was a standout, as 76% of BNPL users said they were highly satisfied with the experience of using BNPL to make everyday purchases and large-ticket transactions.About 38% of consumers used BNPL, roughly at parity with those who used general-purpose credit card installment plans and above the 24% that used BNPL in the previous year. In the meantime, the use of credit card installments was static over that timeframe.The implication, then, is that BNPL is gaining share within the pay-later sphere. Separate data showed that BNPL services appeal to those looking for immediate access to credit without long-term commitments, a factor cited by 27% of individuals.The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced its own findings on BNPL last month.“Before first-time BNPL use, consumers’ average credit card utilization rates increased, suggesting that less available credit card liquidity may encourage consumers to use BNPL,” according to a Jan. 13 press release.Liquidity is constrained, as PYMNTS found that 19% of overall consumers hit their credit card limits in the past year — a percentage that soared to 41% of consumers who live paycheck to paycheck with issues paying bills. The constraints are even across income levels, as 20% of those earning more than $100,000 annually and nearly 21% of households earning less than $50,000 annually have been maxing out their cards.The marquee names in BNPL are gaining the lion’s share of BNPL transactions, as about one-third of consumers who opt to use the payment method go to Afterpay, PayPal, Affirm and Klarna.The use of BNPL will see additional momentum, in part because of traditional financial institutions — firms that traditionally would have looked askance at BNPL, as it offered an avenue through which customers would bypass using issuers’ cards.J.P

Pinterest’s rally was the standout here, surging 20.9%
