X-Cart, the leading automotive eCommerce platform, has announced the expansion of its partnership with Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), the payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth, to bring Affirm’s flexible and transparent payment options to X-Cart’s Canadian merchants.
Canadian X-Cart merchants will be able to offer Affirm as a payment option at checkout. Consumers who choose to pay with Affirm will go through a quick, real-time approval process. Once approved, consumers can select from custom payment plans with APRs starting at 0% for eligible purchases. Consumers are shown the total cost of their purchase and will never pay more than they agree to upfront as there are no late or hidden fees with Affirm.
"We are always thinking of ways to enhance the checkout experience for owners of automotive stores online. This expansion of Affirm to our Canadian merchants will empower us to offer consumers greater choice and flexibility for their automotive purchases," said Brandon Checketts, CEO of X-Cart.
X-Cart joins over 279,000 merchants and platforms offering Affirm’s flexible and transparent payment options. Offering Affirm at checkout can drive overall sales, increase average order value, and increase customer repurchase rates.
