Affirm is expanding its buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services through various global partnerships. In August 2026, Airwallex integrated Affirm’s platform into its checkout suite, enabling international merchants to offer installment plans to American customers via the Airwallex dashboard.

Concurrently, Affirm and Shopify launched Shop Pay Installments in Australia. This expansion follows previous rollouts in Canada and the United Kingdom, with plans to target Western European markets such as France, Germany, and the Netherlands. While Shopify provides the merchant-facing integration, Affirm manages the underwriting and financing infrastructure.
