Overview

This guide describes how to integrate Affirm into the Drupal commerce platform so you can provide Affirm as a payment option to your customers. After integrating Affirm, your Drupal site will:

• Offer Affirm as a payment option on the checkout page
• Process Affirm charges in your order management system
• Display Affirm promotional messaging

*Before you begin 

Before beginning integration, you should review:

• The transaction flow when buying with Affirm
• Your current checkout process to understand how Affirm will affect operations and customer experience
• Settlement reports to know how to reconcile transactions with the deposits into your bank account

Sandbox development

You should have received an email inviting you to create an Affirm account. Click here for information about accessing your account.

Develop and test the Affirm integration in your development environment connected to our sandbox. To use our sandbox, retrieve your sandbox API keys at https://sandbox.affirm.com/dashboard/#/apikeys for use during integration.

After development and testing, you'll need to update your integration to use your live API keys, which you can find at https://affirm.com/dashboard/#/apikeys.

Review your order management functions

Processing orders (authorize, void, refund, and partial refund) in Drupal updates the order status in the Affirm dashboard. While you can process orders in the dashboard, we strongly recommend using Drupal to keep order status synced with Affirm. For more information on processing orders in Drupal, refer to their documentation.

Test your integration

After completing your integration, do a thorough testing of both your front-end and order management functions in our sandbox to ensure that everything works as expected. Click here for our recommended test plan. However, you'll need to tailor your testing plan to your specific systems, processes, and integration.

Deploy to production

Coordinate testing with Affirm

Before deploying the Affirm integration to your production site, Affirm will need to test it in your development or staging environment connected to our live environment. Contact your Integration Consultant or [email protected] to coordinate this test.

Launch to production
