Want to give shoppers more flexibility at checkout with a "Buy Now, Pay Later" payment option? Read on to learn how!
With Affirm, shoppers can pay for their purchases over 3 to 36 months, or in 4 interest-free payments made every two weeks, without affecting their credit.
This can help increase your overall revenue and overall customer retention. CommentSold data shows customers are 21% more likely to make repeat purchases from a shop using "buy now, pay later" options versus other payment processors.
Affirm is only available for shops on CS Payments. Transaction rates for Affirm vary. You can find your transaction rate in the Payment Gateways tab, in the Affirm section.
