Render the hosted checkout

How it works

This diagram shows how your client, your server and Affirm interact:

📘

This schema is relevant for any client-side integration via web or mobile.

1. Online checkout

• The customer and merchant submit the order information
• The client communicates that information to Affirm
• Affirm renders the checkout experience and on loan confirmation by the customer and returns a checkout_token.

2. Create an order

Your front-end sends the checkout_token to your server (via POST, GET or a Webhook).

3. Manage order

Your server code receives the checkout_token and then uses it to initiate a charge.

Affirm's checkout

Affirm will host the full checkout experience based on the request details. For web, use Affirm.js. For mobile, use iOS and/or Android SDKs.
