90-day clean streakMeasured by FlareWarden's own checks of affirm.com from multiple regions every 6 hours. Affirm's status page sets the verdict above when it reports trouble, but never these figures. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 90 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.
What Affirm does
Affirm offers instalment financing at checkout, letting shoppers split a purchase into scheduled payments while the merchant is paid up front. It sits inside the checkout flow of retailers and marketplaces, so an outage does not degrade a store: it removes a payment method mid-purchase and loses the sale.
What an outage looks like
The Affirm option fails to appear at checkout, or appears and then errors when selected, leaving the basket intact but unpayable. Prequalification hangs without returning a decision. Existing customers cannot open the Affirm app to view or make payments. Merchant-side API calls for charges and transactions fail, so orders stall between authorisation and capture.
What to do about it
Check status.affirm.com, which reports Affirm Checkout, Prequalification, the Purchase, Transactions and Charges APIs, the mobile app and the platform integrations (Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Wix) separately, split by US, Canada and UK. Leave other payment methods enabled so checkout still completes. Avoid retrying a charge that may have authorised, since duplicate authorisations hold a customer's credit twice.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?
If this page says Affirm is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

How we measure this
- We request Affirm's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them. When you open this page and our last check is more than 30 minutes old, we check again on the spot; those checks update the verdict, never the availability figures.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. Our checks only change their verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where Affirm publishes an official status feed we read it too, and the verdict is the worse of what it reports and what our checks see: a major outage of Affirm itself is Down, trouble with one part of it is Degraded, problems at a few of a provider's many locations change nothing, and a security notice that marks nothing down is shown but changes nothing either. We check the feed every 3 minutes and read it again within minutes of any change to its incidents or components; a reading counts for 45 minutes after the last check that found nothing changed. The availability figures above are our measurement alone.
Get alerted when Affirm goes down
We check Affirm every 6 hours, and again when you open this page if that was more than 30 minutes ago. Your own monitors run as often as every 30 seconds, from up to 17 cities across three regions, and tell you the moment something breaks.
