Affirm provides point-of-sale financing solutions as an alternative to traditional credit cards. It allows consumers to make purchases and pay for them over time through installment plans, often without hidden fees or deferred interest. Affirm partners with merchants to integrate its payment solutions into both online and in-store shopping experiences, using user-friendly plugins and APIs. The company earns revenue from interest and fees on the loans it provides to consumers, as well as from fees charged to merchants for offering its financing options. Affirm also offers a merchant dashboard for transaction processing and promotional tools to help businesses market these financing options effectively. The goal of Affirm is to empower consumers with flexible payment options while providing value to merchants in the e-commerce and retail sectors.

What believers are saying

  • Affirm's partnerships with major brands and events, like the Austin Marathon, enhance its visibility and consumer trust.

What critics are saying
