Affirm for Business
Let Customers Pay with Affirm While You Get Paid Upfront
Add Affirm to your checkout and watch average order values increase by 30-50%. Customers pay over time; you get paid in full immediately.
Affirm for Business
Affirm has become one of the most trusted names in consumer financing. When customers see Affirm at checkout, they know they can split purchases into manageable monthly payments with transparent terms—no hidden fees, no deferred interest traps.
For merchants, Affirm is a conversion machine. Cart abandonment drops when customers realize they don't need to pay everything today. Average order values climb when the monthly payment looks more affordable than the total price. Customers who might have walked away become buyers.
Here's how it works for your business: A customer selects Affirm at checkout. They get an instant credit decision—usually in seconds. If approved, they choose their payment plan (3, 6, or 12 months typically). They complete the purchase. You receive the full purchase amount (minus Affirm's fee) within 1-3 business days. Done.
The customer then pays Affirm directly over time. If they miss payments, that's Affirm's problem, not yours. You've already been paid. No chargebacks from financing disputes. No collections hassles. No credit risk.
Affirm's merchant fees typically range from 2-8% depending on promotional offers and terms. Yes, that's higher than standard card processing. But here's the math that matters: if Affirm increases your average order by 30% and conversion by 20%, the fee pays for itself many times over.
Unison Payment Solutions helps you integrate Affirm seamlessly with your existing payment setup. Whether you're running Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or a custom platform, we ensure Affirm works alongside your card processing without conflicts or complications.

Affirm for Business FAQs
What does Affirm charge merchants?
Affirm merchant fees typically range from 2-8% per transaction, depending on promotional terms and payment plan length. Higher fees apply for 0% APR offers. Standard plans cost less.
How fast do I get paid with Affirm?
You receive the full purchase amount (minus Affirm's fee) within 1-3 business days. This is the same or faster than standard credit card settlement.
What if a customer doesn't pay Affirm?
Not your problem. You've already been paid in full. Affirm assumes all credit risk and handles collections. This is a major advantage over in-house financing.
What's the minimum order for Affirm?
Affirm typically requires a minimum purchase of $50, though this can vary. Most merchants see the biggest impact on orders above $200 where monthly payments become significantly more appealing.
