At TicketSocket, we’re always looking for ways to empower our clients with greater flexibility, control, and innovation. Today, we’re excited to announce a powerful new integration that does just that: Affirm is now available as a checkout option for all TicketSocket Premiere clients.
This update means that your customers can now choose to pay over time using Affirm’s flexible, transparent financing options—helping you close more sales, boost order values, and provide a premium purchasing experience, all while maintaining full control over your brand, data, and revenue.
What Is Affirm?
Affirm is a modern payment platform offering flexible buy now, pay later (BNPL) solutions. It’s used by over 50 million addressable consumers across North America and is accepted at over 337,000 global businesses—including household names in retail, travel, and entertainment.
Unlike traditional financing options, Affirm provides consumers with simple, easy-to-understand terms and no late fees or hidden costs. Customers can choose to pay in four interest-free payments, monthly installments, or a mix of both, depending on the total purchase amount and their preferences.
For merchants, Affirm pays you upfront and takes on the credit risk, so you can focus on growing your business without worrying about chargebacks or collections.
Why This Matters for TicketSocket Clients
This new integration reflects TicketSocket’s commitment to providing total brand control, full revenue control, and true customer data ownership—while also delivering top-tier checkout experiences.
Here’s what you can expect with Affirm now enabled:
1. Increase Average Order Value (AOV) and Conversions
Affirm removes price as a barrier, giving customers the confidence to commit to higher-ticket purchases. According to Affirm’s shareholder data, merchants who offer Affirm experience an average 70% increase in AOV.
By giving customers more spending power, you’re helping them say yes to bundled purchases, upgraded experiences, and premium add-ons—translating directly into more revenue for your business.
2. Tap Into a High-Intent Consumer Network
Affirm’s user base isn’t just large—it’s loyal. 93% of Affirm transactions come from repeat users, indicating a high level of satisfaction and trust. With Affirm now part of your checkout flow, you’re tapping into a segment of customers who are actively seeking out BNPL options.
For many consumers, especially younger generations and families, pay-over-time isn’t just a preference—it’s an expectation. Offering Affirm can give your event an edge when it comes to capturing this fast-growing demographic.
3. Seamless Integration—No Extra Effort Required
Affirm will be enabled by default for all new and existing Premiere clients starting June 16, 2025. This opt-out model simplifies the setup process and ensures that your customers can immediately start using Affirm with no technical lift on your end.
TicketSocket clients who prefer not to offer Affirm can disable the feature within their account settings, but for most, enabling it by default is the fastest path to adoption and sales impact.
4. Secure and Transparent Customer Experience
Affirm’s commitment to transparency aligns closely with TicketSocket’s values. Customers know exactly what they owe, when it’s due, and what to expect—there are no hidden fees or confusing terms.
This transparency builds trust and improves satisfaction, which is essential for event organizers aiming to build long-term loyalty and repeat attendance.
5. Your Brand, Your Data, Your Revenue
One of TicketSocket’s core differentiators is our white-label architecture that puts your brand—not ours—at the center of every customer touchpoint. This integration with Affirm is no different.From e-ticket branding to domain and receipt customization, your checkout experience stays uniquely yours. And just like every other feature in our Premiere system, you maintain 100% ownership of your customer data and direct access to your revenue, processed through your own merchant account.
