Affirm
We use Affirm with a Woocommerce/Wordpress website and there is a plugin that integrates Affirm for us. We also use a payment method plugin that limits Affirms availability only to products that they support. Generally, we have had a good experience with integration and payments from Affirm to us are consistent and timely. People finance guitars, pedals, and amplifiers and it offers us a way to reach a customer base that may not otherwise purchase from us.

If you are buying online, Honey may be able to save you money. By using it as a Chrome extension, this can happen automatically. In recent months some new coupon searching services have arrived (Capital One), but to me, Honey is the "gold standard" by which others are compared.

  • It is always there on the Chrome bar, which makes sure I use it even if i don't think about it
  • It does the searching for discount codes for me, which can save time and stress when digging through emails or trying to google for codes.

Usability
Affirm
Easy to use, simple to integrate, especially if you are using Shopify Plus. Putting everything live and active was easy. We did have to do some simple HTML/CSS to make everything look the way that we wanted it to, but that was very easy and something that we did in house. If you can do some simple style work, you won't have any issues at all.
