Any approved US-based hotel can drive additional direct business by adding Affirm’s monthly and biweekly payment options, with interest as low as 0%. With summer in full force and Affirm now available as a payment method on Selfbook’s direct booking flow, more than 5% of bookings at The Kartrite Resort & Indoor Waterpark were paid for using Affirm throughout July 2023. Guests will never pay more than they agree to at checkout, as Affirm never charges any late or hidden fees.

“This partnership brings Affirm’s flexible payment options to the hundreds of hotels that use Selfbook to power their bookings,” said Becca Stone, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Affirm. “By offering their guests personalized payment options and the confidence they will never pay more than they agree to upfront, hotels can accelerate their growth for the busy summer travel season and beyond.”
