Shopmonkey, a cloud-based platform for auto shop management, has selected Affirm, a payment network, to provide flexible financing options directly within its payment processing solution for eligible auto repair businesses in the United States and Canada.The integration makes Affirm a default payment method for the thousands of auto shops, predominantly small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), that utilize Shopmonkey’s payment processing. This partnership enables these shops to offer their customers the ability to split the total cost of auto repair bills into biweekly or monthly payment plans, with options available for as low as 0% APR. Affirm states that customers will not incur late or hidden fees.Travis Bickham, Chief Commercial Officer at Shopmonkey, commented on the collaboration: “Offering flexible payment options like Affirm is a natural extension of our belief that the automotive care experience starts the minute you drive the car off the lot until you turn the keys over to the next owner. We are excited to partner with Affirm given their commitment to bringing innovative customer-centric solutions to market.”Wayne Pommen, Chief Revenue Officer at Affirm, added, “By bringing Affirm’s flexible, transparent payment options to the Shopmonkey platform, we’re helping thousands of small and medium-sized auto shops better serve their customers. Car owners – who often spend nearly $800 per year on maintenance – gain a responsible way to spread out the cost, making it easier to pay for the services they need. This in turn will support improved customer satisfaction and long-term growth for auto shops.”Shopmonkey, founded in 2016 by Ashot Iskandarian, provides a cloud-based system that consolidates various aspects of running an auto repair business, including appointment scheduling, parts ordering, customer communications, and payment processing.
