Affirm Teams up with Google Pay to Bring More Choice and Flexible Payment Options to Shoppers
SAN FRANCISCO – December 13, 2023 – Affirm, the payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth, today announced their flexible and transparent payment options will be offered to consumers and merchants that use Google Pay for online checkout in the U.S.
Beginning in Q1 of calendar year 2024, Affirm will be available as a payment option for Android users on select merchant apps and websites that offer Google Pay at checkout.
"People are shopping on Google more than a billion times per day, and consumers are increasingly looking for more choice and flexibility when it comes to payment options,” said Drew Olson, Senior Director, Google Pay. "By teaming up with pay over time providers like Affirm, we are able to give Google Pay users more payment options when checking out, while providing merchants with another tool to drive their growth.”
Offering Affirm at checkout can drive overall sales — merchants using Affirm have reported 60% higher average order values when compared to other payment methods. It can also increase customer loyalty, as approximately 90% of Affirm purchases are from repeat Affirm users.
"By integrating Affirm into Google Pay, we are making it easier for consumers to take advantage of Affirm’s flexible and transparent payment options and for merchants to drive growth," said Jamie Cunningham, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Affirm. "This is an exciting step forward in our distribution strategy, as roughly half of shoppers are using digital wallets more frequently than they did before the pandemic and mobile commerce is growing faster than overall e-commerce."
Google Pay joins Amazon Pay and Shop Pay as major digital wallets that are integrated with Affirm’s transparent and flexible payment options.
