What is Affirm?

Affirm is a financing alternative to credit cards and other credit-payment products. Affirm offers instant financing for online purchases to be paid in fixed monthly installments over 3, 6 or 12 months.

Why buy with Affirm?

  • Buy and receive your purchase right away, and pay for it over several months. This payment option allows you to split the price of your purchase into fixed payment amounts that fit your monthly budget.
  • If Affirm approves your loan, you'll see your loan terms before you make your purchase. See exactly how much you owe each month, the number of payments you must make, and the total amount of interest you'll pay over the course of the loan. There are no hidden fees.
  • The application process is secure and real-time. Affirm asks you for a few pieces of information. After you provide this information, Affirm notifies you of the loan amount that you're approved for, the interest rate, and the number of months that you have to pay off your loan -- all within seconds.
  • You don't need a credit card to make a purchase. Affirm lends to the merchant directly on your behalf.
  • You may be eligible for Affirm financing even if you don't have an extensive credit history. Affirm bases its loan decision not only on your credit score, but also on several other data points about you.
  • Affirm reminds you by email and SMS before your upcoming payment is due. Enable Autopay to schedule automatic monthly payments on your loan.

What is required to have an Affirm account?

To sign up for Affirm, you must:

  • Be 18 years or older (19 years or older in Alabama or if you're a ward of the state in Nebraska).
  • Not be a resident of Iowa (IA) or West Virginia (WV).
  • Provide a valid U.S. or APO/FPO/DPO home address.
  • Provide a valid U.S. mobile or VoIP number and agree to receive SMS text messages. The phone account must be registered in your name.
  • Provide your full name, email address, date of birth, and the last 4 digits of your social security number to help us verify your identity.

How does Affirm work?

Affirm loan-application process steps:

1. At checkout, choose Pay with Affirm.
2. Affirm prompts you to enter a few pieces of information: Name, email, mobile phone number, date of birth, and the last four digits of your social security number. This information must be consistent and your own.
3. To ensure that you're the person making the purchase, Affirm sends a text message to your cell phone with a unique authorization code.
4. Enter the authorization code into the application form. Affirm instantly notifies you of your approved loan amount, the interest rate, and the number of months you have to pay off your loan. You have the option to pay off your loan over three, six, or twelve months. Affirm states the amount of your fixed, monthly payments and the total amount of interest you'll pay over the course of the loan.
5. To accept Affirm's financing offer, click Confirm Loan.

We have received several reports from Apple customers who have had trouble staying connected to their Audioengine products via Bluetooth since the release of recent iOS and MacOS software updates. We are doing our part to provide Apple with reporting on these issues and working toward a timely resolution.

Apple has recently released their 13.3.1 update that addresses Bluetooth connectivity issues and we would encourage you to download it by going into your iPhone/iPad Settings> General> Software Update. After the update to 13.3.1, please go to Settings> Bluetooth> tap the encircled "i" to the right of the Audioengine product> tap Forget this device. Then unplug/power off your Audioengine product and plug it back in/power it back on, and pair to it again from your phone. Most customers have had success with these post-update steps, but some have had to repeat them a few times to achieve it. For those who have not, here are our troubleshooting tips that most other iOS users have confirmed resolved their Bluetooth connectivity issue:

(For our wireless speakers, please check to verify that the antenna is attached to the back of the powered speaker. If you’re unable to locate the antenna, double-check the plastic bag that contains the product manual and brochure.)

1) Try restarting your iPhone and iPad as well as the speakers to see if that fixes the issue.

2) Check to make sure your Apple device is running the most up to date version of software available.

3) Try disconnecting from and forgetting the Audioengine device through your iPhone/iPad’s Bluetooth settings, and re-pairing.

4) Try playing audio from more than one application on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

5) Try using a different source device (not your iPhone or iPad) with your Audioengine product to see if the issue follows. Be sure to test your Audioengine product using the analog input as well.

6) If none of the previous steps have worked for you, try resetting the network settings. This will wipe all networks from your iPhone/iPad (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Cellular) so you will want to make sure you know or have stored the Wi-Fi passwords you need. You will likely need to set up all Bluetooth connections again as well. To reset the network settings, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

 

For MacOS users:

The first thing we'd recommend trying is a NVRAM/PRAM reset. This resets the system configurations for some audio and video related functions and can help clear up problems related to audio. After this reset, you may have to go into your Bluetooth settings and "forget" your Audioengine product, power your Audioengine product off and on, restart your Mac, and pair with the Audioengine product again. Here are the steps for how to do the NVRAM/PRAM reset:

1) While holding the Shift + Option (Alt) keys on your Mac's keyboard, click the Bluetooth symbol in the top-right corner of the macOS menu bar. (If you don't see it there, you need to check Show Bluetooth in menu bar in System Preferences -> Bluetooth.)

2) Locate the revealed Debug submenu and hover your mouse cursor over it.

3) Click "Reset the Bluetooth module".

4) Now, restart your Mac.

*We also recommend checking the App store to see if there is a newer version of Mac OS you could be running.
