Affirm Feature Availability
HYPR Affirm is the base capability, and every add-on below builds on it. Which add-ons you see in the Control Center depends on what HYPR has switched on for your tenant. If a capability described elsewhere in the documentation does not appear in your tenant, find it below.
Who Does What
- HYPR switches an add-on on for each tenant you name. There is no control in the Control Center to do it yourself. See Requesting an Add-On.
- Your administrators do everything after that, in the Control Center: add the add-on to a verification flow, choose its step settings, and build risk policies or customizations. The Admin Setup column links to each add-on's page.

Requesting an Add-On
- Open a case with HYPR Support, or contact your HYPR representative.
- Name the add-on from the tables above. If you are not sure which add-on covers what you need, describe the behavior you are looking for; the documentation page that describes it names the add-on.
- List each tenant that needs it, for example your non-production and production tenants. HYPR enables each tenant separately.
Once HYPR confirms, set the add-on up on the page in its Admin Setup column.
