Very easy to use with outstanding customer service. Pros Low interest on purchases and ease of use Cons Low purchasing amount.

Administration Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Vital player seeking positive reinforcement and found it! " December 16, 2024 5.0 Interest was low for me securing product I wouldn't otherwise have been able to purchase. They don't give you the run around with a decision immediately which was helpful also. I have nothing but positive to say here and am thankful they were there for me when I was getting my feet off the ground starting my business Pros I loved using affirm during the time I used them they are actually a vital player in me starting my business approving credit when I needed it to buy and secure inventory for purchase. Cons I have nothing bad to say against affirm! Switched from [Klarna](https://www.capterra.com/p/230509/Klarna/)[Afterpay](https://www.capterra.com/p/229452/Afterpay/) Affirm offered me lower rates with a much higher spending amount with better terms. Best decision I ever made and got me on the map Review Source SH Sadie H. Owner operator Cosmetics Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A must have" March 27, 2025 5.0 I have had a positive experience using affirm. Pros Easy to use and understand. Gives clear fee structure. Cons Doesn’t work with all stores, refunds not immediately available. Switched from [Klara](https://www.capterra.com/p/203066/Klara/) I was more satisfied with Affirms structure and clarity Review Source SF Sarah F. Sales Orderer-Purchases Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awesome Affirm" June 23, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with affirm is amazing, affirm has allowed me to get things and break the payments up , without it;.. There are a lot of things i probably wouldn't have, because i couldn't afford high amounts up front. Pros My favorite thing about affirm is having so many options to pick for payment plans, whether you want to pay it off in 3- 12 month payments. Cons My least favorite thing about affirm, is you can only change your payment due date once in a rolling Month. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Architecture Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Frustrating Refund Process and Poor Customer Support" January 17, 2025 3.0 Affirm seriously needs to fix their ridiculous money reversal process. I tried to place an order with them, and they asked me to pay a portion of the total amount upfront. Fine, I did it. But then the entire process got stuck on “order processing” while the money was already taken from my account! When I called customer service, they had the audacity to nonchalantly tell me it would take 100 days to reverse the charge. 100 days?! That’s beyond absurd! If a loan doesn’t go through, why on earth should the initial payment take that long to be refunded? It’s infuriating, and the lack of urgency or accountability from their side just adds insult to injury. I’ll never understand how this is acceptable to them. Pros The convenience of their repayment process. Cons 1.Poor money reversal process – Refunds take an unreasonably long time (up to 100 days) to process. 2. Unhelpful customer service – Customer support appears nonchalant and lacks urgency in resolving issues. 3.Unreasonable refund policies – If a loan doesn’t go through, the initial payment still faces significant delays in being refunded. 5.Frustrating user experience – The process feels inefficient and adds unnecessary stress to customers Review Source Royce C. Software Reviewer Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A for Affirm" March 13, 2025 4.0 My overall experience with affirm was good I enjoyed the fact that I could purchase things on Amazon or other online stores That's actually how I was able to get my equipment to work online Pros I really loved firm I love how easy it was to use I wish I could continue to use it again but not able to at this time Cons I didn't like how everything separated my payments on certain products I wish it could have been combined into one payment Review Source AR Ajshanique R. Eligibility Screening Rep Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My Affirm review" July 25, 2025 5.0 Overall, I have enjoyed using it to Affirm and have even recommended it to my husband. We have booked hotels and made multiple purchases through it. Pros I first found out about Affirm through Amazon. When I got approved, I was so excited to be able to make payments over time. Cons Affirm is a great way to make purchases whether through online stores, traveling and hotels and more. I never had a bad experience using Affirm. Review Source EM Erica M. Administrative Assistant Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great website/app to use" July 3, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Affirm is awesome. It's a great website. Their app is easy to navigate and explains/breaks everything down easily and efficiently. Pros I LOVE affirm! I like how you can use multiple websites through it, I love the convenience and the payment plan options. I like that they have deals and a credit card option as well. Cons I honestly haven't disliked anything about Affirm yet. There have been no cons for me at the moment and I hope it stays that way! Review Source BP Brittany P. Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great chance of approval " March 13, 2025 5.0 Love the app to order things for the company Pros I like how I was approved instantly for a great amount Cons Your credit has to be above a 600 in order to be approved Review Source AM Alexander M.

Ceo Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Affirm review" March 29, 2025 4.0 It’s overall really easy to connect your business and promote products as well Pros Affirm is really good and the overall site/app is amazing Cons I like that it’s easy to connect your business too Review Source AB Autumn B. Designer Arts and Crafts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love this service" May 30, 2024 5.0 Overall it’s a great service for not paying for your items right away in one large lump sum Pros Ability to pay over a year period of time or whatever’s timeframe you prefer. Various equal payments. Cons I dislike the interest rates that are associated with the service Review Source SS Shana S. Property Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I affirm that this is the best!" April 1, 2024 5.0 Pros I love having the convenience of paying over time.

Cons There is nothing to complain about. I love Affirm! Review Source JP Jailene P. SERVICE WRITER Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Useful for companies with not a lot of upfront cash" December 7, 2022 5.0 Pros Product is helpful for people who do not have a lump sum of money up front for an expensive product.

Cons It would be cool if they could add more stores Review Source LR Lola R. Creative Editor Writing and Editing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Affirm Gets My Affirmative Green Light" February 10, 2025 5.0 It has been a really positive experience overall. Affirm gives you the option to set up auto-pay, so I don't miss payments. Pros The app's interface is very user-friendly. I especially enjoy the dashboard because it shows right up front how much "money" is available. There's also the quick search option, allowing you to see what companies you can use your funds towards a purchase. Cons The way they separate each purchase and money spent is a bit annoying. I'd rather have the total amount owed computed together in one lump sum. Review Source EJ Eric J. Welding lead Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Affirm affirmed. " December 27, 2024 5.0 Excellent the size of purchases that can be made is significantly higher then other programs. Pros The way affirm processes pay later transactions is amazing.

Admin Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Affirm Is Great" November 23, 2024 5.0 Affirm is great for increasing sales on an e-commerce website. It's an established and trusted brand that legitimizes the website, instantly. Pros Super easy to set up and they provide a Wordpress Plugin for WooCommerce which makes it very easy to implement across an ecommerce website. Cons Sometimes, I'd have a backend issue with reporting being delayed, but it was infrequent. Review Source SP Stephanie P. Technical Recruiter and Marketing Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love Affirm" May 23, 2025 5.0 Overall very good. I think the app allows consumers to purchase items within their means while not going too far above and beyond. Pros I love that since Affirm came out. They have given people more options on how and where to spend their money. Cons I think they need to have less pop-ups when logging in. I noticed a lot of apps are doing that now, just let me log in. Review Source AW Angela W. Founder of The Mandated Reporter School E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My Experience with Affirm" June 10, 2025 5.0 On the customer end, Affirm has allowed me to pay for big ticket items over time in smaller payments that better suit me. As a business owner, this feature allows the parents to break their monthly fees into smaller, more manageable, payments that work with their own financial needs. Pros This feature is great because it allows customers to break their monthly payments into smaller increments. This is a win for both my business, and the clients that I service. Cons I haven't found anything that I don't like about this service as it is still a bit new. It seems to be a great plan. I have no complaints. Review Source SB Sierra B. Consumer Consumer Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Affirmatively easly" June 1, 2025 5.0 My experience over all with Affirm has been easy to navigate and very simple to use. Haven't had any issues except slow loading pages as described above. Pros What I like most about Affirm aside from the ease of use, its great for big purchases that you can't out right afford or justify at the moment, and breaks your bill up into payments to pay over time. Cons I don't have any complaints about Affirm that I can think of off the top of my head aside from slow loading pages but that is probably just my internet. Review Source SJ SHERYL J. FIELD ESTIMATOR Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An "All Fun, No-Fuss" Shopping Experience" February 18, 2025 5.0 I've used affirm for over 2 years, & have not yet had a negative experience. It allows for multiple options on how I'd like to pay for a product overtime, integrating very well with company monthly budget requirements. Pros Flexibility & Freedom: Allows you to buy now & pay later, in whichever increments work for your budget. Cons The end cost will always add up to more than if the item was just paid all at once upon shopping. This is understandable as companies need to charge a little more for loans in order to make a profit for their business to continue to be up & running.
