Affirm Transaction Events API

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Affirm Checkout Authorization Transaction Events API
  description: The Affirm Checkout API enables merchants to initiate and manage the Affirm buy now pay later checkout flow for customers at the point of purchase. It provides endpoints to create and store checkout sessions, read and update checkout objects, and resend checkout links via email or SMS. The API supports both redirect and direct checkout integration patterns. Once a customer authorizes a loan, the resulting checkout token is exchanged server-side to complete the transaction authorization via the Transactions API. Authentication uses HTTP Basic Authentication with the merchant's public and private API keys.
