Understanding Affirm Financing


We understand the importance of flexibility when it comes to managing your finances. That’s why Ron Jones has partnered with Affirm, a revolutionary payment solution that allows you to buy now and pay later. To ensure you have a seamless shopping experience, we’ve created this comprehensive guide on Affirm and how it works.


What is Affirm?

Affirm is a financing alternative to credit cards and other payment methods. It offers real-time financing for online purchases, allowing you to buy what you want today and pay for it over time. Think of it as a modern-day layaway, but you get your item immediately!


How Does Affirm Work?

  1. Choose Affirm at Checkout: When you’re ready to purchase, select Affirm as your payment option.
  2. Quick Application: Fill in a few basic details to get an instant loan decision. This will not affect your credit score.
  3. Flexible Payments: Choose the payment schedule that works best for you, with terms ranging from 3 to 36 months. Interest rates can be as low as 0% APR for qualified customers, but rates will vary based on your credit and the merchant.
  4. Transparent Fees: Affirm prides itself on honesty. There are no hidden fees or compounding interest. The price you see at checkout is exactly what you’ll pay.
  5. Stay Informed: Receive email or SMS reminders about upcoming payments. Pay directly through the Affirm website or the Affirm app.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will using Affirm affect my credit score?
  • When you first create an Affirm account and your identity is verified, a ‘soft’ credit check is performed. This will not affect your credit score. However, if you decide to proceed with a purchase and financing via Affirm, they may perform a ‘hard’ credit check, which could have an impact.
  • Can I pay off my Affirm loans early?
  • Absolutely! There are no penalties or fees for early payments. In fact, it can save you money on interest.
  • What happens if I return an item I purchased with Affirm?
  • Refunds will be processed by Ron Jones and will be credited back to your Affirm account. You’ll only be responsible for any interest accrued between the time of purchase and the time of return.

At Ron Jones, we’re committed to offering you choices that make your shopping experience both enjoyable and manageable. With Affirm, we hope to provide more flexibility in how you pay, making it easier for you to get the items you love, when you want them.
