Affirm’s shopping app delivers high-value customers

The new Affirm app gives your business an exciting opportunity to acquire high-value customers who might not otherwise visit your site or store. 

We designed the app’s experience to maximize ways that our network of over 3 million shoppers can discover your brand. Here’s how:

3. Seamless shopping virtually anywhere

After shoppers discover your brand, the app facilitates a seamless buying experience. App users can prequalify to see their spending power with Affirm. The in-app browser draws them through brand discovery to purchase on your site. Shoppers can also use the app to create a one-time-use virtual card that enables them to shop almost anywhere.

Our network delivers the customers you really want

The shoppers in our growing network—including the 1+ million active monthly users on our app—can convert at a higher rate and spend more on your site. That’s because they come to us looking for great deals on highly considered purchases from brands they love, and we provide them with the spending power—in the form of monthly payments—to make those purchases. 

When you put your brand in front of Affirm shoppers, you’ll attract a customer base that’s nearly 50% millennial and Gen Z, with high lifetime value. Some retail partners featured on the Affirm app have seen up to a 3x lift in on-site conversion relative to other apps. Those that accept Apple Pay or Google Pay have also seen up to 14% of transactions driven in-store, making the Affirm app an omnichannel solution for acquiring new customers.

Our app’s popularity with consumers gives it a commanding edge against competitors. Mobile market data from App Annie (May through October 2019) reveals the Affirm app had:

  • 4.8x higher U.S. install penetration than the 2nd ranked app in our competitive set and at least 8x higher than the 3rd ranked app.

  • 2.3x more daily active users than the 2nd ranked app and at least 4.5x more than the 3rd ranked app in our competitive set.
