The renewal price that keeps merchants reachable could widen financing exposure.
The platform wants a simple merchant offer for holiday planning, while Risk needs eligibility limits that keep the agreement durable.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My CFO wants a fee answer this week, and the platform keeps asking which financing option we’re turning on.”

What is at stake
A platform renewal covering $180 million in annual GMV is stalled over merchant fees and promotional-financing access. You must weigh a faster commercial concession against the eligibility and economics that have to hold for two years.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- platform simplicity vs risk-based eligibility
- holiday deadline vs durable contract terms
- merchant fee competitiveness vs blended economics
- call-summary speed vs verified negotiation evidence
Why Affirm
