Reclaim plan consideration in wallet-first checkouts
Payment options can become less visible even when they remain fully available.
Merchant-controlled checkout patterns often compete with the need to preserve a recognizable consumer financing choice.
“I use my wallet because it’s quick, but I didn’t even notice there was another way to pay.”

Uses a mobile wallet for household purchases and encounters financing choices inside a merchant-controlled checkout layout.
What pulls against what
- wallet convenience vs. plan visibility
- merchant autonomy vs. consistent consideration
- standardization vs. layout-specific evidence
- quarterly recovery vs. partner adoption pace
What is at stake
Eligible shoppers are reaching checkout without noticing an available no-interest option. The response must work across merchant-owned layouts, not just one interface
Why Affirm
At Affirm, this may matter as checkout formats evolve faster than shoppers’ awareness of the plans available to them.
