About In-Store

Overview

Affirm’s In-Store Integration enables you to offer Affirm as a payment option within your point-of-sale (POS) systems.

By integrating Affirm’s in-store solution, you can provide your customers with flexible payment options while ensuring a smooth transaction experience at the point of sale.

The Customer Experience

The in-store experience is seamless for your customers:

  1. Customers choose Affirm at checkout and we send them a payment link via email or text, enabling them to complete their purchase on their own device.
  2. When the customer is approved by Affirm, they receive a confirmation and the sales associate sees the confirmation in the POS system.

The Merchant Experience

Integrating Affirm into your POS system offers a streamlined experience for your store staff:

  1. Sales associates select Affirm as a payment option in your POS system.
  2. Once the customer is approved by Affirm, the in-store terminal receives the order confirmation and reflects the paid status in near-real-time.
The POS system sends a request to Affirms server, which sends a response to your server. The Affirm server and the client send to each other. Your server sends a response to your POS. Your server and the Affirm server send to each other.
