Fexco and Affirm
Fexco has partnered with Affirm to bring its innovative and hugely popular 'Buy Now, Pay Later' (BNPL) payment solution to cruise line customers via the Fexco payUnite orchestration platform. Serving over 35% of the global cruise market, the payUnite platform now enables guests to choose Affirm’s BNPL option when making reservation payments. This offering is available to any company already integrated with the payUnite orchestration platform, which is set to expand to the airline, retail, and hospitality industries.
Use cases
- Cruise Guest selects Affirm as a payment method to pay for a cruise.
As a feature of the Fexco Hosted Payment Page, it is possible for the cruise line to enable Affirm as an alternative payment method for its paying guests. The cruise line is still required to set up a merchant profile with Affirm as well as completing UAT and Product certification/validation, however in general it is very straightforward and quick to integrate.
- Cruise Guest selects Affirm as a payment method to pay for a cruise
As an alternative integration method to Fexco’s Hosted Payment Page model, APM-Link provides an option for cruise lines to integrate directly via API. This option provides more flexibility for the cruise line if they prefer to design their payment page and would like more control over the user interface aspect of the checkout flow process. Using this approach, however, APM-Link requires more effort by the cruise line during integration than if they were simply integrating via the Hosted Payment.
