Affirm Adds Chrome Autofill to Expand Product Suite, Boost Transactions
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Affirm integrates pay-over-time plans into Chrome Autofill for eligible U.S. customers.
Plans range from $35-$30,000 with 0% APR options and no late or hidden fees.
Feature aims to grow AFRM's consumer base after a 46% year-over-year Q3 transaction count jump.
Affirm Holdings, Inc. (AFRM - Free Report) recently announced an expanded partnership with Google Pay to make its flexible, transparent payment options available through Chrome’s autofill feature. This enhancement builds on AFRM’s initial 2024 integration with Google Pay, which enabled eligible customers to make installment purchases anywhere Google Pay is accepted.
Autofill provides a safe, simple way to complete purchases for Google users on Chrome and Android. U.S. customers using Chrome on desktop can now select “Pay over time options” from the autofill dropdown. Once Affirm is chosen, they will complete a quick eligibility check and, if approved, select a personalized payment plan—ranging from four biweekly installments to monthly payments over 24 months. These plans cover purchases from $35 to $30,000, with interest rates starting at 0% APR, and no late or hidden fees.
Additionally, consumers can link their Affirm account with Google Pay, enabling faster and more secure checkout for future transactions. Both new and existing Affirm users can now access pay-over-time options via Chrome autofill at participating merchant websites. This feature activates automatically for merchants, requiring no additional integration work.
The facility to make installment payments infuses greater peace of mind as it alleviates the strain on the finances of a consumer and boosts their purchasing power. This, in turn, paves the way for the widespread adoption of AFRM’s diverse range of pay-over-time options, bolsters its consumer base, increases transaction count and brings higher consumer interest income. Transaction count increased 46% year over year in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
