Feature Description
Affirm is offered as a payment method in many well-known eCommerce merchants, such as Peloton, Purple, Vrbo, Nordstrom, Pottery Barn, Walmart, and more. Using Affirm allows the shopper to pay over time for their purchases. To do so, the shopper must receive loan approval from Affirm by providing some information and agreeing to the Affirm loan terms and conditions. All these steps are handled by Affirm. Aspenware’s integration to Affirm exposes the steps in Aspenware Commerce, but Affirm takes care of all aspects of the loan, loan agreement, and terms. Once the shopper is qualified for the Affirm loan, Affirm can then be used to pay for eligible products in the store.
NOTE: To qualify for Affirm payments, the customer must meet the following criteria:
The customer must be a US citizen.
All products in the cart must be Affirm Eligible.
The cart must meet or exceed the minimum cart value.
The customer must pass Affirm’s loan eligibility check during their loan approval process with Affirm.
NOTE: Affirm handles all aspects of the loan application process, approval/denial, subsequent collections, and payment from the shopper. To Aspenware Commerce and RTP|One or Siriusware, the purchase is paid in full when the shopper completes the order.
