Merchants using Airwallex can now offer Affirm’s flexible payment options to U.S. shoppers without needing a complex new integration. This update allows international and domestic retailers to provide monthly installment plans or interest-free biweekly payments directly at checkout. For your business, this means a faster way to implement Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) and capture more sales from budget-conscious customers. Adding these financing options can directly impact your bottom line by increasing average order values. Customers are often more willing to commit to larger purchases when they can spread the cost over time. Because the integration is handled through your existing Airwallex setup, you avoid the technical debt of managing multiple payment providers. This is a strategic move to reduce cart abandonment, especially as shoppers increasingly look for alternatives to high-interest credit cards. Whether you sell high-ticket items or everyday goods, giving your customers more ways to pay simplifies the path to purchase and builds loyalty.
