Xsolla, a global leader in video game commerce, has partnered with Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), a payment network, to integrate Affirm’s flexible payment options into Xsolla’s payment tools for game developers. This integration is currently available in the U.S., with plans for expansion to Canada and the UK in the coming months.
Through this collaboration, game developers utilizing Xsolla’s checkout solutions can now offer Affirm’s payment options to their players. Consumers purchasing games or in-game content with a cart value of $50 or more can select Affirm at checkout to split their purchases into interest-free biweekly payments or longer-term monthly installments. The process involves a quick eligibility check, and if approved, players can choose a personalized payment plan with no late or hidden fees.

Partnering with Xsolla brings these principles to the gaming world. For developers, it means offering their communities a trusted payment option that can help drive engagement and growth. For players, it delivers more control and choice in how they pay for the content they love.”
