Fast enablement is pulling against the work of making financing visible to shoppers.
Merchant payments managers want a simple path to demand, while co-marketing investment needs proof that orders are incremental.
Who you’d be doing this for
“We turned it on weeks ago, and leadership keeps asking where the financed orders are.”
Katarzyna Wisniewski · Merchant Payments Manager
Owns checkout payment methods for a commerce-platform merchant that has enabled financing but has not yet built demand for it.
What is at stake
Six merchants can enable financing quickly but do not have a proven way to create shopper demand. You must weigh a focused co-marketing test against the risk of paying for orders that would have happened anyway.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- merchant reach vs. measurable incrementality
- fast platform activation vs. tailored shopper relevance
- co-marketing commitments vs. test discipline
- marketplace visibility vs. checkout conversion
Why Affirm
Affirm Marketplace and merchant co-marketing investment connect enabled checkout financing to the shopper demand that produces financed orders.
