Pros I like the fact that customers can get their product and pay for it over time. Cons Affirm can get people into debt. While you are making smaller payments, they tend to overspend making multiple purchases Review Source JA James A. CEO Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Affirm is there to Help" April 10, 2025 5.0 Very pleased with Affirm. I have been with them for at least five years. Very easy to use with outstanding customer service. Pros Low interest on purchases and ease of use Cons Low purchasing amount. Wish it was available to me for larger purchases and smaller monthly payment options on large purchases. Alternatives considered [Klarna](https://www.capterra.com/p/230509/Klarna/) Reason for choosing Affirm More options for extended payment and lower payments Review Source LC Leziel C. Personal User Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy-to-Use Payment Method" July 15, 2026 5.0 Affirm is almost everywhere I make purchases. I like the accessibility of the payment method and the ease of transaction it provides. Pros What I like with Affirm is the low promotional APR they provide plus the generous purchasing power they give borrowers. Cons What I did not like is the length of time to for low APR for purchases. I hope they give longer 0 APR promotions. Review Source HW Heather W. Owner Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Worst ever" March 5, 2025 2.0 Pros Nothing I have never been able to use this product they kept denying me but when contacted they can’t tell me why all they have said is this is odd there is not reason you should have been denied Cons Everything no one can tell me why I can’t have an account after almost 2 years of being told there’s no reason why you should be getting denied no one can tell me anything so I took my business elsewhere 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 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 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 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 AC April C. CEO E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Affirm is THE place to go for flexible financing" January 29, 2025 5.0 Overall, Affirm has allowed me and my family to achieve some of the goals that we had without the stress of figuring out how to financially do it. Pros The flexibility that is provided is absolutely amazing. Cons On occasion, not being approved has frustrated me. I feel like if a human being had reviewed the information, the decision would have been different. Review Source LL Leah L. Study Coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Affirm User Review" January 27, 2025 4.0 Affirm provides me with a convenient way to make purchases, especially larger ones, by breaking them into manageable payments. Pros I like that many Affirm merchants offer 0% APR financing through Affirm, making it an affordable way to spread out payments without incurring extra costs. Cons Affirm can only be used with participating merchants, limiting its versatility compared to general-purpose credit cards. Review Source YD Yasmin D. 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 SB Sarah B. Research Analyst Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great For Large Purchases" August 17, 2023 5.0 It is an amazing tool to use as far as purchasing school necessities, and even car related issues or covered under the Affirm application. Pros It is an amazing way to manage payments when purchasing larger items; the fact that the interest is 0% as long as you continue your set schedule, also you can extend your payments for a lengthier amount of time before checkout without any added fees or taxes. Cons I do not care for your in ability to make future purchases once you have made a payment late by chance. Review Source ML Madison L.

Cons I can't say that I don't like anything about Affirm. Review Source jH johnny H.

Reliability Technician Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Affirm has won me over" December 5, 2022 5.0 Pros The software is easy to navigate. But the actual program itself is amazing. I have done paypal and zip, affirm offers a year long payment plan if you wish. Something I haven't seen Zip or PayPal offer. Cons I wish it was available in more online stores. I've found it on Amazon and a few other sites. 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 SP Stephanie P.

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.

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 EJ Eric J.
