Affirm Expands Google Partnership with Chrome Autofill Payment Option

Share It:

Affirm, a payment network, has announced an expansion of its collaboration with Google Pay, enabling its flexible payment options to be available via autofill on Chrome.

This initiative builds on Affirm’s integration with Google Pay in early 2024, which allowed eligible consumers to utilize Affirm’s pay-over-time services where the Google Pay button was accepted. The new autofill functionality on Chrome aims to provide eligible shoppers with a quicker and more convenient way to access Affirm’s payment options at a wider array of online retailers.

U.

S. shoppers using the Chrome desktop browser can access Affirm by selecting “Pay over time options” from the autofill dropdown menu during checkout. After a brief eligibility check, approved users can select personalized payment plans, including four biweekly payments or monthly installments extending up to 24 months. These plans accommodate cart sizes ranging from $35 to $30,000, with interest rates starting at 0% APR. Affirm states it does not charge late or hidden fees.

Vishal Kapoor, SVP of Product at Affirm, stated, “By integrating Affirm with autofill on Chrome, we can deliver payment choice and flexibility seamlessly and at scale. We are excited to expand our work with Google Pay and bring Affirm to many more consumers, through a checkout experience that combines flexibility and transparency with speed, security, and convenience.”

New and existing Affirm users will also have the option to link their Affirm account with Google Pay, aiming to streamline future checkouts. For merchants, this feature will activate automatically, requiring no additional integration effort on their part.

Affirm’s stated mission is to provide financial products that improve lives, operating a payment network based on transparency. The company aims to empower consumers to manage their spending and saving, while offering businesses tools for growth. Payment options through Affirm are subject to eligibility and availability, and are provided by various lending partners. Rates can range from 0–36% APR, for example, an $800 purchase might cost $72.21 per month over 12 months at 15% APR. Loans by Affirm Loan Services, LLC in California are made or arranged pursuant to a California Financing Law license.
