Best practices

Once you've integrated Affirm into the Bolt checkout and conducted your tests, you'll be well-versed in the user journey and the advantages of our enhanced payment alternatives. To help you maximize the potential of Affirm, we've put together a set of best practices tailored for optimal usage and results.

Simplify the checkout experience

We recommend switching off your default e-commerce checkout and using the Bolt checkout button instead. This can help avoid confusing your customers with too many checkout options and simplify the process.

Add promotional messaging to checkout

Prominently displaying Affirm's promotional messages, such as "As Low as $X per month," throughout the shopping journey heightens awareness of our flexible payment options, potentially enhancing shoppers' intent to purchase. We suggest integrating these messages at key touchpoints: the Product Page, Cart, and Checkout.

Easily embed our promotional messaging using the affirm.js JavaScript library. Plus, Bolt is compatible with several platforms for an even smoother experience:

• Adobe Commerce
• Big Commerce
• Direct API
