What they do

Problem

E-commerce companies struggle to fund inventory upfront, limiting growth due to cash flow constraints and lack of accessible financing.

Solution

Kickpay uses customer data to provide inventory financing where businesses pay for inventory only after it sells.

Who it's for

E-commerce brands and online retailers that need financing to purchase and scale inventory.
