The rollout needs broad merchant activation without turning contract eligibility into a field-by-field judgment call.
Field speed protects the promotion window, while verified commercial terms protect pricing consistency.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My CSM said we could run the offer, then finance asked why our terms don’t match it.”
Emi Suzuki · Merchant Payments Manager

What is at stake
Merchants are being contacted for promotional financing that their current terms do not support. You must weigh rapid activation against a rollout group the field can trust.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- activation speed vs. verified eligibility
- field clarity vs. contract nuance
- merchant reach vs. standard economics
- dashboard scale vs. source-term validation
Why Affirm
Promotional financing is a merchant-facing checkout lever whose adoption depends on translating pricing and contract terms into field-ready actions.
