Similar to Newegg’s U.S. e-commerce site, Newegg.ca customers who select Affirm as a payment option at checkout will go through a quick and free soft credit check that won’t impact their credit score. In seconds, Affirm's technology will determine available payment options for each customer. If approved, eligible customers will be able to split their purchases of $100 CAD or more. From the start, eligible customers will know how many payments they have and when they'll be done paying. Even if they're late or miss a payment, a customer’s total payment amount will not increase. They will also not be charged a late or hidden fee.

“Our Canadian customers now have the same benefits and shopping flexibility with Affirm that we have been offering our U.S customers since 2021,” said Danny Yip, Senior Category Manager for Newegg Canada. “Unlike other financing options, Affirm’s platform doesn’t charge late fees and allows approved customers to choose their preferred payment plan at checkout. We expect our Canadian customers will appreciate Affirm’s flexible payment option for their tech purchases.”

“Consumers are voting with their wallets by adopting transparent and flexible payment methods like Affirm,” said Vassil Chalashkanov, Affirm’s Country Manager, Canada. “Nearly three out of four Canadians have their budget top-of-mind when shopping. With the holiday season just around the corner, we are excited to be expanding our relationship with Newegg into Canada and enabling eligible consumers to purchase their favorite tech products over time so they can enjoy gifts without gotchas.”
