Costco, Mattress Firm, World Market offer Affirm flex payments
Three retailers across the warehouse club, mattress and home goods verticals are all teaming up with a flexible omnichannel payment platform.
Costco, Mattress Firm and World Market have all launched partnerships with Affirm to provide their customers with a pay-over-time option for select purchases. Every time a shopper wants to pay with Affirm, they go through a real-time eligibility check.
If approved, customers can choose from personalized payment plans with upfront pricing and no late or hidden fees.
Here’s a breakdown of each partnership:
Costco
The membership warehouse club retailer is now offering Affirm online for purchases between $500–$17,500, providing their members a way to pay over extended time periods for big-ticket items and bulk buying. Costco members will also have access to special credit offers, including annual percentage rate discounts.
"Costco members in particular know the value of planning ahead and buying in bulk," said Pat Suh, senior VP of revenue, Affirm. "Through this partnership, we're excited to offer them a responsible, predictable alternative to traditional credit, helping them confidently manage their spending on larger purchases and ensuring they never run into hidden fees."
Mattress Firm
The nation’s largest mattress specialty retailer now offers Affirm online and at more than 2,200 stores across the U.S. The launch comes ahead of Mattress Firm’s major Memorial Day sale.
"At Mattress Firm, we’re always looking for ways to make it easier for our customers to get the sleep products they need," said George Hanson, chief digital officer at Mattress Firm. "With Affirm now available both online and in-store, we’re giving shoppers a simple, flexible way to pay — especially during one of our biggest sales of the year."
World Market
World Market is now live with Affirm offering flexible payment options online and at nearly 250 stores nationwide.
"We are thrilled to have Affirm as a partner that will help us deliver on our mission by providing enhanced payment solutions that offer longer payment terms without hidden fees, giving our customers more choices in how they pay for their next furniture update, seasonal decor refresh or celebration essentials," said World Market CEO Eric Hunter.
