Set up Affirm Payment Method for a WooCommerce Store

• Affirm is one of the leading companies offering buy now, pay later (point-of-sale installment loans) to consumers.
• Affirm’s mission is to help consumers afford what they want to buy without creating unmanageable debt.
• Unlike other BNPL (buy now, pay later)companies, Affirm allows you to choose your payment option.

• Depending on your credit and eligibility, your APR (Annual percentage rate) on an Affirm loan can end up being 0%, or 10% to 30%.
