DICK’S Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS), a U.S. based full-line omni-channel sporting goods retailer, and Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), the payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth, announced an extension of their partnership, which originally began in 2020.
Eligible DICK’S and Golf Galaxy shoppers can now “choose Affirm’s flexible, transparent payment plans when checking out directly on DICKS.com or GolfGalaxy.com.”
Whether shopping for “sports equipment and apparel, footwear, or outdoor summer essentials, paying with Affirm is simple.”
After selecting Affirm at checkout, “approved consumers can split purchases into biweekly or monthly payments up to 36 months, for as low as 0% APR.”
As always, every time “a consumer chooses Affirm, they go through a quick eligibility check.”
If approved, they will see “personalized payment plans and no late or hidden fees, ever.”
Josh Conklin, Sr. Director, Treasurer at DICK’S Sporting Goods.
“Providing our athletes with a seamless shopping experience and flexible payment options is extremely important to our team. With the success of the partnership to date, integrating Affirm directly into our online checkout process was a natural next step. We’re excited to continue giving our athletes control, clarity, and convenience in how they pay, so they’re ready for every season.”
Pat Suh, SVP of Revenue at Affirm
“It’s clear that consumers love to ‘Affirm’ their DICK’S purchases via the Affirm app, and with summer shopping season in full swing, this was the perfect time to bring Affirm directly into the checkout experience. We’re excited to build on our partnership with DICK’S and offer an even simpler, more seamless way for shoppers to pay over time – always with no late or hidden fees.”
DICK’S Sporting Goods is one of nearly “360,000 retail partners who trust Affirm to deliver superior value to their customers.”
