Frequently Asked Questions

What is the option to pay in installments on Shop Pay?

When checking out with Shop Pay, you have the option to pay now or later. Paying in installments on Shop Pay allows you to split your purchase amount into four equal, biweekly installment payments with 0% APR, or monthly installments with no hidden or late fees.

Does checking my eligibility affect my credit score?

No—checking your eligibility will not impact your credit. Once payment plan terms are accepted, your payments may be reported to a credit bureau.

How do I make my payments?

You can pay with your debit card or credit card for all Shop Pay Installments purchases on the Shop app, affirm.com or in the Affirm app.

Can I pay off my purchase early?

Yes! There’s no penalty for paying early.

What if I make a return on a purchase made through installments with Shop Pay?

You can submit your return here. If your refund is more than your purchase balance, then the difference is returned to your original payment method within 3-10 business days. If your refund is less than your total purchase balance, then it might not lower your next payment. Instead, you can expect fewer payments, a smaller final payment, or both.

If your order is made with interest payments, then the paid interest isn't refunded. When you make payments, the funds are first applied to the accrued unpaid interest and then to the principal. Interest is the cost of borrowing, and isn't refundable.

Is there a limit to how much I can spend on a single Shop Pay Installments order?

Yes. In the United States, $30,000 USD is the order value limit that applies to purchases using Shop Pay Installments, including discounts, shipping, and taxes.

What if I miss an installment payment?

There are no late fees for customers who miss a scheduled payment. However, partial payments or late payments might impact your credit score, or your eligibility to use Shop Pay Installments in the future.
