3. Payments and Financing Through Affirm

We accept payment through Affirm, a third-party financing provider that lets you pay for your purchase over time.

How Affirm Works With Our Store

• When you choose Affirm at checkout, you are sent to Affirm’s secure platform to finish your application and payment.
• Affirm collects the information it needs to check your eligibility and process your loan directly. This may include your name, date of birth, phone number, email, address, the last four digits of your Social Security number, and income details.
• Affirm may run a soft credit check to see if you prequalify. According to Affirm, this does not affect your credit score.

What We Receive and Store

• We do not receive or store your Social Security number, bank account details, card numbers, or credit history.
• Affirm tells us whether your purchase was approved, along with the order amount and transaction reference, so we can fulfill your order.

What We Share With Affirm

To process your financing, we share your order details with Affirm, including the items purchased, order total, and your name, email, phone number, and shipping and billing address.

Affirm’s Privacy Practices

Affirm’s handling of your information is governed by Affirm’s own Privacy Policy, available at https://www.affirm.com/privacy. Please review it before applying. Loan terms, approval decisions, repayments, and any disputes about your loan are handled by Affirm, not by Chad Staton.
