ZERO Stars!!! I have to wait 30 days for their regulatory checks before I get my first payout. So I already provided a product to their borrower and have to wait 30 days to get paid. What a ridiculous wait time!!!! The app does not work well with shopify themes and I have to login off site, in a separate tab to view my account. I can't access the bank info tab to see where my payout will be going, whenever I actually get my payout for my first sale under this app. I tried to click on the bank info tab and it just returns me to the home screen. There is no customer service number or online live chat. I have to wait a day or two to get a response. Customer service (most likely based in some 3rd world country) replied I will need to wait the full 30 days, there is nothing I can do or provide to expedite the information gathering needed for their review. So basically in the mean time, "go pound sand". Customer service never gave me an answer about the bank info tab error. I doubt CEO Levchin even cares about all these low reviews. Maybe, he should put his computer science degree to use and fix this horrible merchant app. I uninstalled this app and won't be using Affirm again as a merchant payout. Just a horrible experience overall!!!
this app. we actually Lost clients when we implemented it.
I am giving a zero, there in no phone number to speak with a human tech in resolving issues connecting to Shopify. After getting accepted its just been continued login failures connecting with Shopify. Their loss
Trash. They have issues with the login after getting accepted, but haven't fixed their login issue. I'm unable to sign in to my merchant account and there's no live support to even chat with. Horrible.
I have waisted 2 days trying to install this bullcrap app. No support, no chat and the app is full of bugs. I received recaptcha error, and 404 forbidden errors. Even after I dump my cache, open different browsers and used different devices. This is a nightmare to install. I'm done!!
Absolute crap with zero support. Impossible to install or get any knowledgeable assistance from Affirm or Shopify support. Save yourself time and just move on....
After a couple attempts of struggling to find the solution to add this feature. I was able to fix and add the messaging app to my store. It does take small steps to be able to add this. If you need assistance intergrading this to you store I will be glad to help
This app is giving me so much trouble. and customer service will give you the run around. nothing is solved!! even the app goes in circles
I would give it 0 stars if I could. I ran into an issue where they somehow put 3 customers orders onto 1 customers account. There is no phone number to call, so I messaged and also emailed for support. The only response I got was to have the customers call customer support. Of course, the 2 customers who's furniture purchases didn't get associated with their accounts have gone MIA now. This complete lack of support ended up costing me $6000 through no fault of my own.
Randomly bloating the app with new pop-ups and updates that noone asked for. Does not work as intended, cannot recommend.
Don't get discourage by the negative reviews, yes the implementation requires a little bit of coding experience and reading the documentation, but in our case we have a very customized template and we made it work, just read and follow the instructions, don't be afraid to ask for help.
doesnt ever work. been dealing with customer service for days now. its just a huge hassle and not worth it when there si klarna and afterpay available
App and messaging has not loaded for nearly two years, even after changing themes and several of the Shopify Helpers/Hireable team looking into it. Have not been able to integrate it at all.
Terrible app. It does not work. It doesn't show up in the check out page. It looks like there is a ton of additional configuration that has to happen at the code level to get this to work. Uninstalling, not worth the hassle.
You can look forward to them unexpectedly holding the funds on your first order for the reason that they are "getting to know your business." There is nothing in the merchant agreement that says they can do that, so it's fraud. Meanwhile you can't ship the order to your customer because you have no idea if you are actually going to receive the payment. The Feds need to look closely at this trashy company.
Horrific experience with them. They moved away from "paybright" We do not know how to fix API or mesh code. We asked for help and they kept coming back with " We are not complying to their standards" We asked for help and its an automated response every single time. You cannot call them and nobody will help you . Its been an awful experience and hopefully another loan company can take care of us. If you cannot provide customer service you shouldn't be in business.
Same Experience As All Other Users - Doesn't work
They only have email support for merchants and they don't respond
I was excited to partner with a buy now, pay later app after having no success with AfterPay in Canada. Affirm has TERRIBLE customer service; merchant accounts have no contact number. When you finally get ahold of someone via email, they aren't able to help you anyway.... " uninstall the app and reinstall. Still needs to be fixed!! Buyer be ware! I would give zero stars if I could :(
Probably the worst customer support in the business for this type of app. No one is helping me and when they do reply all they say is uninstall the app and reinstall it. For such a major company, their customer service is subpar at best. Come on! I've had this app and it worked great. Now I have a new theme and it's not working and no one from Affirm is helping. How do you expect to keep your customers if you're not helping them? I need help ASAP with this app. UPDATE: Still no help from support. I would think if you want me to add your app on my store you would provide help besides directing me to a document.
We tried to integrate Affirm to our Shopify store and it was a nightmare. We provided our banking + verification info only to get an error message. We created a support ticket and instead of resolving the error, support told us to abandon the current email address and use a new email to make a new business account (makes no sense as our Shopify store is already linked to the original email account we were told to abandon.). After troubling our IT to create a new email address, we got an error and could not create a new business account. This is a very buggy app, the FAQ is not helpful at all, the customer service is horrible, I am at the verge of just forgoing split payment.
The Affirm app works just fine. I followed the instructions and was able to add the Affirm messaging in a matter of minutes.
They are definitely self righteous, acting as if they are better than God. From looking at these ratings it is very clear that they don't care about their merchants, just the money they collect from the consumer. But then again the guy who founded Affirm is so rich now he doesn't have to care.
On the collection page, I use the plugin to add Affirm Messaging. When Affirm Messaging appears, the affirm logo keeps flashing, getting bigger and smaller, repeating for a few seconds before returning to normal, and if our price is a range , there are two values, and the amount of confirm will link them into a large number, which will cause the message to not be displayed.
Very poor integration with Shopify, no support for product variants. 10+ emails and a lot of hand-waving and the integration still not working. First, I provided 3 test cases where Affirm integration fails with Shopify. Affirm support didn't test all 3 only 2. Second, I pointed to the 3rd test case that wasn't fixed, they said "oh yeah, here I fixed it". And again, they didn't (Affirm messaging calculated the wrong installment payment amounts, 4 * $24 != $1200 ). Then they claimed it's a third-party app issue. I uninstalled it, and that didn't help either. Exactly the same problem after the 3rd-party app was gone. Then, they blamed it on the browser caching (I tested the site in 2 different browsers on 2 different OS, mobile and desktop). Finally, they basically said "it is too difficult to debug", let's just disable the functionality globally... i.e. stop calculating installment payment on the product page. But I thought the whole point of Affirm is to display the visitors know of potential lower payments **before** they add to checkout, not after... Sorry, Affirm, I am sure you can do better, but this is frustrating. UPDATE: after 11 emails, it's working finally now and the fix was on their side. I'll keep the rating at 1 star as out of ~20 Shopify apps I tried so far, this was the worst so far.
first off this app is ridiculously expensive. basically 6%. after looking at my loses on 2 orders im removing this option. i had a order for 1299... of which i made $200 profit and affirm took $96 out of that........ I had another order for $4000 of which i profit $560.. and affirm took $240! .Bye affirm. 1299 is one of my cheapest products.. so that means ill be giving affirm $96 or more for every order they process. This app is not for me.
The app did not load right away (i have a custom theme), but once I reached out to tech support, they helped me fix the problems. After that, everything went very smoothly. I would recommend it.
I'm not a coder, so that been said, is a complicated setup that I have to spend 5 hours just to figure it out and nothing. The instructions are not clear and not much explaining. Videos can be helpful for does not code-savvy. Super frustrated because I'm approved but can't use the app. UPDATE Customer support fixed the problem for that I'm happy, but they needed to enter the code manually seen the app is not compatible with all the themes that Shopify offers and the one I'm using free Supply theme is not compatible. I hope they can make it simple to implement affirm to any theme.
