## Overview

This guide walks you through integrating Affirm with your BigCommerce platform.



## Step 1: Confirm your website is using Optimized one-page checkout

Before proceeding with the integration, you'll need to ensure that the _Optimized one-page_ checkout is enabled. Follow the steps below to confirm:

  1. Go to **Settings > Advanced > Checkout**.

  2. Check whether you can see the _Checkout Type_ setting. If you can't, you already use the _Optimized one-page checkout_ and can proceed to the next step.

  3. If you are on a legacy checkout, you will see the _Checkout Type_ field available with either _Single-page express_ checkout or _Multiple-page_ checkout selected.

  4. To enable Affirm, you need to select **Optimized one-page checkout** and click **Save**.
