Affirm Payments Shopify Apps – Analytics & Insights

Scala Payment Method Discount ranks #1 for affirm payments with 8.9% share — the leader position in a fragmented field where many apps are within striking distance, -45.8pp ahead of ETP Sort Hide Payment Methods (54.7%). HidePay: Hide Payment Methods sits at #3 with 4.7% share, rounding out the top tier. The top 3 apps together control 68.3% of affirm payments installs — a clear leadership tier with a meaningful long tail behind them. Partialy: Partial COD Payment is the standout mover this month, climbing 3 positions — a momentum signal worth tracking. Worth noting: the top-ranked app and the highest-share app aren't the same here — App Store rank and our market share metric (computed from review counts and other factors) move on independent dynamics, so cross-checking both views matters in this category.
