Full summary	Affirm's Buy Now, Pay Later Chrome extension brings flexible, fee-free financing to your browser. See estimated purchasing power on merchant sites, discover exclusive offers like 0% APR or longer plans with no late fees, and request a payment plan directly from the extension. If approved, Affirm issues a one-time virtual card so you can complete checkout without leaving the site. How to use: browse your favorite stores, add items to your cart, open the extension at checkout, choose a payment plan that fits your budget, and pay with the issued virtual card. Rates range from 0–36% APR and options vary by merchant and state; approvals and terms aren’t guaranteed. By enabling the extension, Affirm may receive the domains of sites you visit and will handle that data according to its Privacy Notice and lender disclosures.	Acima Leasing offers a lease-to-own alternative for customers seeking flexible purchase options without credit cards or cash. You can lease furniture, electronics, appliances, tires, and more — with up to $4,000 in shopping power. Simply choose from popular online retailers via the Acima MarketPlace™, get approved upfront, and use the Acima LeasePay Card™ at checkout for a seamless lease payment experience. This solution is ideal for shoppers with less than perfect credit, as Acima considers multiple data points beyond credit history. Note that ownership is optional and contingent upon completing lease payments. While the extension provides convenient lease options for eligible products online, it cannot be used for in-store purchases. Acima delivers a flexible, transparent way to get the things you need without traditional financing constraints.
