How do I sign up?
If your purchase is eligible for payment with Affirm, the option will be presented at checkout. After confirming your phone number, you'll be sent a one-time SMS password to confirm your identity. You'll then enter a few details for a real-time decision. If you're approved, you will have the option to set up your repayment method with Affirm and accept the terms of your payment plan.
Does Affirm do a credit check?
When creating an Affirm account and seeing if you qualify, a soft credit check is performed. Soft credit checks will not affect your credit rating.
Will using Affirm affect my credit score?
Checking your eligibility won't affect your credit score. However, making purchases with Affirm may affect your credit score.
Are there late, NSF or other fees?
Affirm does not charge late, NSF, annual, pre-payment or any other hidden fees.
Which payment methods are accepted?
Affirm currently accepts pre-authorized debits from your Canadian bank account or a debit card. Available payment methods may vary depending on the payment plan selected. Please note that prepaid cards are not accepted.
How can I track my payments and access my Affirm account?
To access your account information, make payments and view your payment schedule, log in to the Affirm app or the Affirm customer portal at

How do returns work if I paid using Affirm?
Purchases made using Affirm are subject to PC Tires' standard return policy. Any returns will be processed by PC Tires and your Affirm balance will be reduced, cancelled, or refunded accordingly. For information on returns, review
our return policy.
I was not able to complete an Affirm transaction. What happened?
Unfortunately, Affirm is not able to provide payment plans to every applicant. This could be due to the information on your credit file, or because Affirm was not able to verify your identity or your payment method. Qualifying orders can also be placed with a $50 deposit at checkout, with the balance due at installation.
Can I use Affirm in the shop or over the phone?
Affirm is offered through our online checkout. Call or text
519-397-4686 and we will build your order and send a checkout link to your phone, so you can select Affirm from there.
I still have questions.
