Affirm and Amazon Introduce Buy Now, Pay Later Option to Customers in Canada
Affirm is expanding its relationship with Amazon to Canada, bringing increased payment flexibility and transparency to customers shopping on Amazon.ca.
This Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) payment option will be available during checkout to all eligible customers in both English and French within the next month.
Customers who select Affirm as a payment option during checkout on Amazon.ca will go through a quick, free soft credit check that won’t impact their credit score.
In seconds, Affirm’s technology will determine available payment options for each customer. If approved, eligible customers will be able to split their purchases of $50 or more into simple monthly payments.
From the start, eligible customers will know how many monthly payments they have and when they’ll be done paying.
Even if they’re late or miss a payment, a customer’s total payment amount will not increase, and they will not be charged a late or hidden fee.
“We’re always looking to enhance the paying experience for our customers, including how and when they can pay for their orders,” shares David Williams, Vice President of Amazon Payment Products.
“Introducing Affirm in Canada gives our customers another flexible payment option for their purchases.”

“Since launching with Amazon in the US, we’ve been providing eligible Amazon customers with a powerful tool to responsibly increase their purchasing power,” said Geoff Kott, Affirm’s Chief Revenue Officer.
“We are excited to bring customers shopping on Amazon.ca the opportunity to pay for everyday items and milestone purchases with Affirm as we deliver the same level of transparency and flexibility that customers have come to expect from Affirm across our markets in North America and beyond.”
