Read MoreHide Full Article
Affirm Holdings, Inc. (AFRM - Free Report) recently announced that it has expanded its partnership with WooCommerce. With this move, AFRM became a leading pay-over-time provider for merchants using WooPayments, the integrated payment solution of WooCommerce,in the United States and Canada.
Affirm's payment plans, including biweekly and monthly installments and a new "Pay in 30" option, will now be automatically enabled for WooCommerce merchants, offering more flexible payment options at checkout. This move aims to increase Affirm’s reach, especially among small and mid-sized businesses, while helping merchants boost sales and customer satisfaction.
By becoming a default payment option on WooPayments, Affirm gains exposure to thousands of WooCommerce merchants, expanding its footprint across a diverse range of online businesses. AFRM can attract more consumers, including those shopping with smaller cart sizes, thanks to its new "Pay in 30" option alongside existing plans.
As more WooCommerce merchants adopt Affirm, the volume of transactions processed through its platform is likely to grow, driving revenue. It also reinforces Affirm’s reputation as a trusted and reliable buy now, pay later (BNPL) provider.

Additionally, the company anticipates its revenue as a percentage of GMV to grow by at least 20 basis points compared to fiscal 2024.
