What is Affirm?
Affirm provides shoppers with flexible payment options for both Store Pick-up and Ship to Home online purchases at Giant Tiger. You can select Affirm as a payment method at checkout and select how you would like to pay. You can enjoy your purchases immediately, while spreading out your payments over time.
How Do I Use Affirm for Giant Tiger Purchases?
At checkout, select Affirm as a payment method. If you haven’t used Affirm before, you will have to set up an account. Once approved, you will need to provide bank account details or a credit card number. This is how you will make your payment installments. You will then select the number of installments you wish to pay in and accept the terms of your payment plan.
Please note, you may only use Affirm as a payment method on orders of $50 or more, after discounts. Gift card and grocery purchases are not eligible.

No, you will not be charged. If you’ve already made a payment to Affirm and are owed a refund, the refund may take up to 5-10 business days to appear on your bank account or credit card statement. If you have any questions about the refund process, please reach out to Affirm.
Why Was I Not Able to Complete My Transaction with Affirm?
Unfortunately, not every applicant is approved for Affirm’s payment plans. This could be due to the information on your credit file or because Affirm was unable to verify your identity or payment method.
Can I Return an Item I Purchased with an Affirm Plan?
Yes, all returns are subject to Giant Tiger’s standard return policy. If you made a Store Pick-Up purchase online, you can return items back to that store and a store associate can provide a refund to a card or provide a Giant Tiger gift card. If you made a Ship to Home purchase online and would like to return items, please contact our Customer Service team.
