On April 9, 2025, Affirm Holdings (AFRM) saw a significant surge in trading volume, reaching $641 million, marking a 46.19% increase from the previous day. This surge placed Affirm in the 274th position in terms of trading volume for the day, reflecting a notable rise in investor interest.

Affirm and Shopify have announced an acceleration in their global expansion plans, focusing on empowering merchants through transparent and flexible payment options. This partnership aims to unlock new opportunities for merchants by offering installment payment plans, which are now available in general access to Shopify merchants in Canada.

As part of this expansion, Affirm is powering Shopify's 'Buy Now, Pay Later' (BNPL) services into new markets, including Canada, the UK, and Western Europe. This move allows for zero-fee installment payments, facilitating cross-border commerce and providing merchants with a competitive edge in the global market.

The collaboration between Affirm and Shopify is set to continue, with plans to extend Shop Pay Installments to Australia and other regions in the near future. This strategic expansion is expected to drive further growth and innovation in the e-commerce payment landscape, benefiting both merchants and consumers alike.
