Affirm Holdings, Inc. AFRM recently teamed up with StockX, a global resale marketplace for current culture products. Through this collaboration, eligible StockX shoppers in the United States can now take advantage of Affirm’s flexible payment plans when purchasing highly sought-after items from top brands such as adidas, Supreme, Gucci and more. 

With this new feature, eligible shoppers can opt for Affirm’s biweekly or monthly payment plans at checkout. The process remains a seamless one, wherein customers, after selecting Affirm, provide some basic information and undergo a quick, real-time eligibility assessment. If approved, they can choose a tailored payment plan that aligns with their requirements. Needless to say, AFRM maintains transparency, charging no late or hidden fees.

StockX and Affirm are introducing a special, limited-time offer for eligible customers. From March 10 to March 17, shoppers can choose Affirm at checkout on the StockX website or app to check if they qualify for the Affirm 0% APR Drop, allowing them to pay over three or six months with no interest.

The facility to make installment payments infuses greater peace of mind as it alleviates the strain on the finances of a consumer, thereby paving the way for the widespread adoption of AFRM’s diverse range of pay-over-time options, including extended-term plans. In addition to this, the timeliness of the recent move can be demonstrated with the fact that the demand for flexible payment options on buying apparel and accessories continues to be on the rise, as cited by Affirm management.  

Benefits of the Recent Move to Affirm

The latest partnership is likely to expand the merchant partner network of the company and a growing number of merchants joining the network implies increased utilization of AFRM’s financing solutions while shopping. This, in turn, may fetch higher fees to Affirm from merchants in return for increased sales generated through the usage of its financing products. 

AFRM boasts an extensive global network of more than 337,000 merchant partners, which comprises leading fashion brands such as Canada Goose, Net-a-Porter and adidas. The company remains on a spree to enter into partnerships to bolster its merchant partner network. In February 2025, it collaborated with Stitch Fix, Inc. SFIX, an online personal styling service provider, to offer flexible pay-over-time options for fashion purchases.
