onFail: Called when the customer exits, cancels or is declined in the Affirm checkout flow.
onSuccess: Called when the customer confirms their Affirm loan. Receives a success object, which contains the checkout_id.
onOpen: Called when the customer successfully loads the Affirm checkout flow.
onValidationError: Called when there was a validation error with the checkout request submitted.

Affirm.checkout.open({
    onFail: function(error) {
    },
    onSuccess: function(checkout) {
    },
   onOpen: function(token){
    },
   onValidationError: function(checkout_validation_error) {
    }
});
