About Affirm Connect

Learn how to integrate Affirm Connect to offer multiple pay-over-time options.

Overview

Affirm Connect enables you to integrate additional pay-over-time providers to shoppers on your website. We've partnered with Katapult and Snap, lease-to-own payment options, that connect customers who aren't approved by Affirm with a secondary way to pay. Connect helps to lower the cost of acquisition while maximizing conversion by driving more customer approvals via a seamless UX and centralized integration via Affirm.

To build out an integration that gives customers additional pay-over-time options, see how the Connect flow works.

1. Customer completes the Affirm loan application

We collect a few pieces of information from the customer to get them a real-time decision. This step doesn't change from our standard Direct API integration.

2. Customer decision

The customer gets a real-time decision with a message confirming they were approved with Katapult lease-to-own alternative. Here they can begin the Katapult checkout flow.

3. Checkout with LTO partner

  • Displays their Educational modal
  • Customer provides details of their income payment schedule
  • Provides clearly defined payment details based on the customer's income

4. Set up automatic payments

Customer completes the following:

  • Card details for future payments and the amount due at checkout
  • Required disclosures and agreements
