Can I prepay my outstanding balance?

No, there are no late fees if you miss a scheduled payment.
What if I miss an installment payment?
There are no late fees for customers who miss a scheduled payment. However, partial payments or late payments might impact your credit score, or your eligibility to use Shop Pay Installments in the future. If you have questions about a missed installment payment, then you can contact Affirm support for
assistance.
What if I have pre-order products?
For pre-orders, the first payment will be due when you place your order. Because our pre-order products have extended delivery times which are subject to change, your loan payments may be due before you receive your purchase. If you decide to cancel your pre-order product,
incurred interest payments are non-refundable.
How do returns work if I paid using Shop Pay Installments?
If your return is less than your total purchase balance, then it might not lower your next payment. Instead, you can expect fewer payments, a smaller final payment, or both. If your return is more than your purchase balance, then the difference is returned to your original payment method within 3-10 business days.
If your order is made with interest payments, then the paid interest will not be refunded. When you make payments, the funds are first applied to the accrued unpaid interest and then to the principal. Interest is the cost of borrowing and isn't refundable.
To make a return, please reach out to us at 1-800-786-0625.
What if I need to cancel my order?
If you need to cancel your order and your order has already been shipped, you will need to pay the restocking fee. For doorstep delivery items, it is a flat rate fee of $75. For in home delivery items, it is a flat rate fee of $150. The restocking fee needs to be paid before we refund your payment. In the event of a cancellation, incurred interest payments are non-refundable.
