More About Affirm: Buy now, pay over time

Pay over time with Affirm online, in-store, and in the app. Plus, eligible customers can get the Affirm Card™ to use anywhere Visa is accepted in the U.S.

Buy Now, Pay Over Time is a payment method that allows consumers to purchase goods or services immediately and spread the cost over an extended period, often through fixed installment plans. This financing option is widely offered by services like Affirm, Klarna, Afterpay, and others, either directly through merchants or as a standalone service. It provides a convenient alternative to paying the full price upfront, especially for larger purchases.

Key Features of "Buy Now, Pay Over Time" Plans:

1. Flexible Payment Terms:

Customers can choose from various repayment periods, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even years, depending on the provider and the total cost.

2. Interest and Fees:

Some plans are interest-free, where the total cost is split into equal installments.

Others may include interest rates, typically determined based on creditworthiness, the loan amount, and repayment duration.

Late payment fees may apply if payments are not made on time.

3. Instant Approval:

Approval for these plans is often quick and involves a soft credit check, meaning it won’t affect your credit score. However, some providers may perform a hard inquiry for higher loan amounts.

4. Transparency:

Many services display the total cost of repayment upfront, including any interest or fees, ensuring there are no hidden surprises.

5. Ease of Use:

These payment options are integrated directly into online checkouts or available in physical stores, making them accessible and user-friendly.

How It Works:

1. Select "Buy Now, Pay Over Time" at checkout.

2. Choose your preferred payment plan (e.g., 4 installments, 6-month financing, etc.).

3. Provide basic information for approval (e.g., name, phone number, email, or social security number for some providers).

4. Pay the first installment upfront (if required), and the remaining balance is divided into the agreed payment schedule.

Benefits:

Makes high-cost items more affordable by spreading payments.

Often has no impact on credit score during the application process.

Offers interest-free plans in many cases.

Convenient and seamless integration into shopping experiences.

Risks and Considerations:

Potential for overspending due to the ease of deferred payments.

Interest rates on some plans can be high if payments are not made on time.

Late payment fees may accrue, impacting your overall cost.

Missing payments could negatively affect your credit score (for certain providers).
