Glasses available in simple monthly payments,
with no hidden or late fees
SAN FRANCISCO ,
Dec. 13,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), the
payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive
growth, today announced a partnership with Zenni Optical, the
world's leading online eyewear retailer. Now, eligible shoppers can
pay over time for their favorite items from Zenni's extensive
selection of fashionable and high-quality prescription and
protective eyewear.
After choosing eyewear from Zenni's vast collection and
selecting Affirm at checkout, approved Zenni customers can split
the total cost of any purchase over $75 into monthly payments. They are shown the
total cost of their purchase and will never pay more than they
agree to upfront. Affirm never charges customers any late or hidden
fees.
"We're thrilled to partner with Affirm to provide Zenni
customers another option to pay. We're constantly improving our
customer experience to make purchasing on Zenni.com as simple as
possible," said David Ting, Global
CTO and General Manager at Zenni Optical. "Affirm was the next step
in that process. We believe that everyone should have access to
high-quality, affordable eyewear, and Affirm can give customers a
more seamless pay-over-time shopping experience without the burden
of paying in full at checkout."
"On average, consumers paying with Affirm on Black Friday spent
nearly $260 per checkout on eyewear,
an increase of more than 30% year-over-year. This illustrates the
significant consumer demand for more flexible payment options,"
said Pat Suh, Affirm's SVP of
Revenue. "By partnering with Zenni, we're helping eligible
consumers increase their purchasing power responsibly so they can
pay over time for high-quality and stylish eyewear and avoid hidden
fees or compounding interest."
Zenni joins 266,000 Affirm retail partners, including Casper,
DICK'S Sporting Goods, Newegg, SeatGeek, Priceline, American
Airlines, and more. Offering Affirm at checkout can drive overall
sales, increase average order value, and increase customer
repurchase rates.
