Adaptive Checkout uses Affirm’s smart decision engine to deliver personalized payment options based on the transaction size as well as a real-time underwriting decision. As is always the case with Affirm, consumers never pay a penny more than they agree to upfront and are not charged any late or hidden fees, like compound or deferred interest.

“Adaptive Checkout provides consumers with even more choice and flexibility at checkout,” said Geoff Kott, Chief Revenue Officer at Affirm. “Providing an optimized set of payment options for consumers to choose from has resulted in our highest-converting checkout solution for merchants. Adaptive Checkout extends our ability to intelligently service a wide range of transactions, providing the option to select from four interest-free payments every two weeks to monthly payments spanning three to 36 months.”

“As a 145-year-old family-owned company helping busy families Live in the Moment, Not the Mess™, working with Affirm allows us to provide the most flexible payment options so our customers can purchase now and pay over time on a budget-friendly schedule,” said Kevin Marsh, Director of DTC Ecommerce & Data Activation at BISSELL, the top-selling brand in floor care appliances. “Since adding Adaptive Checkout, we’ve seen incremental increases in sales volume and average order value, driving meaningful growth for our business while continuing to provide the premium home cleaning solutions our customers expect.”

“Using Adaptive Checkout proves that offering flexibility encourages consumers to shop with us. We’re able to capture new customers who may have wanted to shop with Luisaviaroma but didn’t have the ability until now,” said Nicola Antonelli, CMO at LuisaViaRoma. “Adaptive Checkout allows us to offer the most relevant payment options to both the younger consumer who may typically purchase lower-priced items as well as consumers interested in higher-end luxury purchases, all with one checkout solution.”

Adaptive Checkout is now available for new and existing Affirm merchant partners. To learn more visit http://affirm.com/business/blog/affirm-adaptive-checkout-lifts-sales.
