Add Affirm promotional messaging
Add Affirm promotional messaging ---which includes monthly payment messaging and educational modals---on your product, category, and cart pages.
1. In the Business Manager main page, go to Merchant Tools > Site Preferences > Custom Site Preferences > Affirm.
2. Set the following to Yes to display messaging on those pages:
- Product Promo Message (product pages)
- PLP Promo Message (category pages)
- Cart Promo Message (cart page)
3. Enter a Promo Min Total value to set the minimum threshold dollar amount that will display monthly payment messaging (e.g., setting the Promo Min Total to 100 will only display monthly payment messaging for products above $100).
4. If you have been provided with a Promo ID by the Affirm team, you can optionally enter a Promo ID value, to customize messaging (prepend the Promo ID value with default|data-promo-id and set Default financing program to default). Otherwise, leave all the "Financing Program" related field blank.
Enable Inline checkout
With Inline Checkout, you can highlight Affirm’s value props early on in the checkout flow and set clear expectations with your customers.
How it works
When a customer selects Affirm as a payment option, the view expands and renders the following information in your site:
- Value props: Highlights some of the benefits of paying with Affirm.
- Learn more about Affirm: A learn more link that opens our educational modal.
- Payment timelines: The timeline and amount for each payment .
