Thousands of stores offer Affirm as a payment option at checkout. But if you don’t see us at checkout, you can still pay over time. See how theAffirm Card™works. Or download the Affirm app, tell us where you’re shopping, and we’ll give you a one-time-use digital card you can use to complete your purchase online or in stores.

We earn a commission from businesses, and shoppers pay interest on some items. Unlike other lenders, we don’t depend on shoppers missing payments or charging you fees. Instead, we give you a great experience so you’ll come back and use Affirm again.

Your purchasing power is an estimate of how much you can spend with Affirm and it’s not a guarantee. You’re not on the hook to pay back this amount until you confirm your loan at checkout. For more information, visit ourhelp center.
