Vagaro, a leading software provider for businesses in the beauty, wellness, and fitness sectors, has announced a partnership with Affirm, a payment network. This collaboration enables Vagaro’s nearly 100,000 U.

S. business clients, including salons, spas, fitness studios, and wellness providers, to offer Affirm’s flexible pay-over-time options directly at checkout, available for both online and in-person transactions.

Fred Helou, CEO of Vagaro, stated that the partnership aligns with Vagaro’s mission to equip businesses with the necessary tools for growth. He emphasized that by collaborating with Affirm, a company sharing a commitment to trust, transparency, and customer-centricity, Vagaro can empower its businesses to better serve clients by providing a flexible and responsible payment method.

Pat Suh, SVP of Revenue at Affirm, noted the significant growth trajectory of the U.

S. health and wellness market, which is projected to reach $3.7 trillion by 2034.
