Yes, when you first create an Affirm account, Affirm performs a 'soft' credit check to help verify your identity and determine your eligibility for financing. This 'soft' credit check will not affect your credit score.
Affirm tries hard to approve every purchase but sometimes can't approve the full amount. When this happens, Affirm provides a debit card down payment option so that you may still complete your purchase right away.
Affirm sometimes requires additional information to consider a credit application. Such information may include an active checking account, which helps Affirm verify your identity and your ability to repay the requested loan. If they prompt you for this information but you are unable to provide it, Affirm will be unable to approve your credit application.

When you want the item so bad you don't want me to sell it, I can 'lay it away' for you!
BikePartners Bike Shop's layaway program is available all year. With 20% down (50% for Special Orders) I will place anything on a layaway for you so you can spread out payments over up to 3 months. You can pay as much or as little as you would like and as often as you like as long as the item is paid in full in 3 months. Once your final payment is made, the item(s) are yours (I get to keep the items until you are paid in full.)
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
During these trying times brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic supply chain disruption, it has become increasingly difficult for me to purchase inventory for resale to my customers. For this reason I offer a Pre-Purchase option: Make full payment on a backordered item now, and I will issue you 2x (double) BikePartners Rewards Club loyalty points at the time of delivery.
Example: Purchase a $2,000 bicycle now. When the bicycle is delivered in 6-months, you will received 4,000 Rewards Club points. These points are worth 5% cash value on any store purchase. (e.g. $2,000 purchase earns 4,000 Rewards Club Points which are worth about $200 in store credit or other incentives.)
This payment option allows my shop and my vendors to better gauge the demand for the product which is in the pipeline. It also helps my locally owned business to remain afloat during times of supply chain disruption. If you have made your pre-purchase for the product you will be given first priority when the product becomes available at sometime in the future.
You can apply your point credits to any item or service
Times change, conditions change, and sometimes it's necessary to cancel the purchase. Your funds can be returned to you at any time. They will paid out via the same method they were initially paid (card, check, cash.)
