Through this collaboration, World Market shoppers can now enjoy greater flexibility at checkout-both online and in nearly 250 store locations nationwide-by choosing Affirm’s transparent biweekly or monthly payment plans.
“Helping our customers bring home unique finds they love while delivering the best shopping experience is World Market’s mission,” said Eric Hunter, CEO of World Market. “We are thrilled to have Affirm as a partner that will help us deliver on our mission by providing enhanced payment solutions that offer longer payment terms without hidden fees, giving our customers more choices in how they pay for their next furniture update, seasonal decor refresh or celebration essentials.”

For in-store purchases, customers can simply scan a QR code with their smartphone to begin the checkout process. Online shoppers can select Affirm directly at checkout. After a brief eligibility check, qualified customers are shown customized payment options, including 0% APR offers, terms of up to 36 months, and-most importantly-no hidden or late fees.
“Today’s consumers want more control and flexibility in how they pay,” said Pat Suh, SVP of Revenue at Affirm. “That’s why brands like World Market choose Affirm – to offer a smarter, more transparent way to manage purchases, with no late or hidden fees. Now, whether shopping in-store or online, World Market‘s customers can pay over time with confidence.”
