How Affirm Works
Making Purchases:-
Affirm payment service allows a customer to buy goods and services from a merchant. In this case, Affirm pays the merchant for the goods or services on behalf of the customer and receives its own payment from that consumer when he/she has completed his/her payment in installments. Before completing any negotiation on behalf of a customer, Affirm secures the promise of that consumer to pay for that product or service by disclosing the terms and conditions of that negotiation and securing the consent of that customer to those terms and conditions.
Interest Rate:-
Depending on the worth of credit or type of product that is being purchased or service that is being paid for, interest rates range from 0% to 30% fixed APR (Annual Percentage Rate).
Scheduled Payment:-.
a customer can cancel a payment that has been scheduled for up to 24 hours before the payment date. This can simply be done by signing into one’s Affirm account, navigating to the “Pay” section, selecting “Purchase” and canceling the scheduled payment.
Payment Of Late Fee:-
Affirm does not charge customers with extra fees when they pay late.
Delay in processing:-
negotiations are sometimes delayed to be processed and confirmed by either Affirm or the merchant a customer is purchasing a product from. Until it is confirmed by Affirm, a purchase can be canceled anytime during the course of a negotiation.
