  2. Enter your billing address (if different from your shipping address), and then click the Complete Order button at the bottom of the page:screenshot-checkout.embrlabs.com-2019.05.16-15-15-47.jpg
  3. This will take you to Affirm's website, where you will be prompted to enter a few pieces of information: Name, email, mobile phone number, date of birth, and the last four digits of your social security number. This information must be consistent and your own. 
  4. To ensure that you’re the person making the purchase, Affirm sends a text message to your cell phone with a unique authorization code.
  5. Enter the authorization code into the application form. Within a few seconds, Affirm notifies you of the loan amount you’re approved for, the interest rate (if applicable), and the number of months you have to pay off your loan. Affirm states the amount of your fixed, monthly payments and the total amount of interest you’ll pay over the course of the loan.
  6. To accept Affirm’s financing offer, click Confirm Loan, and you’re done.   
After your purchase, you’ll receive email and SMS reminders about your upcoming payments. You can also set up autopay to avoid missing a payment.  
 
Please note that if you return your order for a refund, you are required to continue making monthly payments until Affirm has processed your refund.
