**STEP 2 - Apply to Offers**

If Affirm is your only gateway option, assign the gateway to your campaign offers. Otherwise, skip this step and use the forceMerchantId option in the next step.

**STEP 3 - Apply to Checkout Page**

{% hint style="success" %}
To add Affirm to a CheckoutChamp funnel, please follow [this documentation](https://konnektive.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CC/pages/1859552886/Affirm+Checkout+Champ)
{% endhint %}

A checkout page should be secure HTTPS. A non-secured call to the Affirm gateway will be rejected.

Pass paySource=PREPAID and prepaidType=AFFIRM on the import order API call from your checkout page. Do not pass any other card information.

One option is to use hidden input fields on the page.

```
<input type="hidden" name='paySource' value="PREPAID">
<input type='hidden' name='prepaidType' value='AFFIRM'>
```

\
If your standard credit card gateways are applied to your offers, use the **forceMerchantId** parameter in the Import Order API call. Note that this will only work for one time sales, it will not work with recurring transactions.
