It allows consumers to make purchases and pay over time through installment plans, often without hidden fees or deferred interest. Affirm partners with merchants to integrate its payment options into online and in-store shopping experiences, using user-friendly plugins and APIs. The company earns revenue from interest and fees on loans to consumers, as well as from merchants who pay to offer these financing options. Affirm also provides a merchant dashboard for transaction processing and promotional tools to help businesses market their financing solutions effectively. The goal of Affirm is to empower consumers with flexible payment options while helping merchants increase sales.
