Affirm has announced an exclusive, multi-year tie up with Sam’s Club that will give eligible shoppers a buy now, pay later option.

Affirm will be available on SamsClub.com in the coming weeks, with plans afoot to expand availability to Sam’s Club locations in 2027.

“Making every dollar count shouldn’t stop at checkout,” says Wayne Pommen, CRO at Affirm. “When people pay over time with Affirm, they know what they’ll owe and choose a plan that fits their lives. That way, every dollar counts after checkout, too.”

At checkout, shoppers will complete a quick, real-time eligibility check for purchases. If approved, they can choose a monthly plan and see each payment and exactly when they’ll be done before they commit. Affirm says that it never charges late fees, and interest never compounds.
