Xsolla, a global video game commerce firm, has teamed up with Affirm, a payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth.
Through this partnership, Affirm’s transparent and flexible payment options are now available to game developers using Xsolla’s payments tools in the U.S., with plans to expand to Canada and the United Kingdom in the coming months.
Xsolla powers checkouts for thousands of game developers and now Affirm is automatically available to their players—enabling them to split purchases into interest-free biweekly payments or longer-term monthly installments for carts starting at $50.
Whether players are buying games or in-game content, they can select Affirm at checkout, complete a quick eligibility check, and if approved, choose a personalized payment plan with no late or hidden fees—ever.
“At Xsolla, we’re dedicated to building the best commerce and payment solutions for the video game industry—making it easier for developers, from indie studios to enterprise teams, to connect with players around the world,” said Chris Hewish, president of communication and strategy at Xsolla, in a statement. “By integrating Affirm’s customer-first payment options—known for their flexibility and predictability—we’re empowering developers to offer gamers a smarter way to pay for the content they love while driving deeper engagement and long-term growth.”
“At Affirm, we’re reshaping how people pay by putting transparency and personalization at the center of every transaction,” said Pat Suh, senior vice president of revenue at Affirm, in a statement. “Partnering with Xsolla brings these principles to the gaming world. For developers, it means offering their communities a trusted payment option that can help drive engagement and growth. For players, it delivers more control and choice in how they pay for the content they love.”
Affirm’s mission is to deliver honest financial products that improve lives. By building a new kind of payment network—one based on trust, transparency, and putting people first—we empower millions of consumers to spend and save responsibly, and give thousands of businesses the tools to fuel growth.
