Merchant reports show more Pay in 4 plans than the underlying checkout records.
Accurate plan volume protects merchant trust, while historical reporting definitions must remain stable.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My finance lead asked why our report has plans we can’t find in yesterday’s checkout records.”
Joost Hamilton · Payments Operations Manager
Reconciles checkout activity and plan volume for a merchant using external reporting.
What is at stake
A source event is causing 2.8% of Pay in 4 plan rows to appear twice in merchant reports. You have to restore accurate counts without changing valid historical reporting.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- fast report recovery vs durable model correction
- source fidelity vs duplicate suppression
- merchant confidence vs stable definitions
Why Affirm
