Affirm, the payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth, and New Look Vision Group, a leading North American optical retailer with over 475 stores in the US and Canada, today announced a new partnership in Canada, bringing Affirm’s “honest, transparent pay-over-time options” to customers shopping at New Look Eyewear, Greiche & Scaff, Vogue Optical, IRIS, and more.
Whether shopping for prescription glasses, sunglasses, or contact lenses, approved Canadian shoppers can select Affirm at checkout to split their purchases into biweekly or monthly payments. If approved, they can choose the customized payment plan that best suits their needs and never pay any late or hidden fees, said the companies in a news release.
“We’re proud to partner with Affirm in Canada, advancing our vision of making high-quality vision care more accessible and affordable to consumers across the country,” said Antoine Amiel, President & CEO of New Look Vision Group. “Eyewear is often a necessary investment, and offering a flexible way to pay helps remove a meaningful barrier for many consumers. Integrating with Affirm helps us offer shoppers greater confidence and clarity over how they pay, without compromising on quality or experience.”
With this launch, New Look Vision Group joins nearly 360,000 merchants offering Affirm at checkout, including partnerships with leading Canadian retailers Amazon, Apple, Samsung, Brown’s Shoes, CheapOair, and more.
“Eyewear and prescriptions are tailored to meet individual needs, and the way people pay should be no different,” said Wayne Pommen, Chief Revenue Officer at Affirm. “By teaming up with New Look Vision Group, we’re thrilled to offer personalized payment options without any late fees or hidden charges. Consumers should not have to worry about gotchas or fine print when shopping for vision care, and with Affirm they don’t have to.”
