In 2020, Cricut implemented Affirm as a Payment Processing solution on its public ecommerce site. Cricut uses Affirm for Payment Processing to provide an alternative checkout payment option and to support consumer installment approvals and online payment authorization.
Affirm was embedded into the website checkout through the provider's front end widget and API, delivering consent flows, credit decisioning, and payment authorization within the site checkout experience.

Operational coverage focused on Cricut's online retail channel in the United States and impacted ecommerce, payments operations, and customer support functions.
Governance changes centered on updating checkout routing rules, merchant payment policies, and customer service workflows to account for Affirm specific refund and dispute procedures, plus training for ecommerce and support teams. The Affirm deployment introduced a vendor managed underwriting and authorization step into Cricut's payment workflow.
