## Confirm an Affirm payment

`stripe.confirmAffirmPayment(clientSecret: string, data?: object, options?: object)`

Use `stripe.confirmAffirmPayment` in the Affirm payment method creation flow when the customer submits your payment form.
When called, it will confirm the [PaymentIntent](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents.md) with `data` you provide, and it will automatically redirect the customer to authorize the transaction.
Once authorization is complete, the customer will be redirected back to your specified `return_url`.
When you confirm a `PaymentIntent`, it needs to have an attached [PaymentMethod](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_methods.md).
In addition to confirming the `PaymentIntent`, this method can automatically create and attach a new `PaymentMethod` for you.
If you have already attached a `PaymentMethod` you can call this method without needing to provide any additional data.
These use cases are detailed in the sections that follow.

> Note that `stripe.confirmAffirmPayment` may take several seconds to complete.
> During that time, you should disable your form from being resubmitted and show a waiting indicator like a spinner.
> If you receive an error result, you should be sure to show that error to the customer, re-enable the form, and hide the waiting indicator.
