Cash needs in ecommerce rarely arrive on schedule

A viral post doubles orders overnight. A marketplace holds your payouts for review. A supplier needs a deposit on a reorder sooner than you planned. These are the moments a business line of credit for ecommerce was made for. You get a set amount you can draw from, use what you need, repay it, and the balance is available again.

Unlike a lump sum, you are not carrying funds you are not using.

How to apply

  1. Complete the 5-minute application.
  2. Share about three months of business bank statements.
  3. Review your offer, which shows the full repayment amount and schedule.

We start with a soft credit pull and consider FICO 500+. No tax returns. Sole proprietors can apply. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, with funding in as little as 24 hours for qualified businesses.

Good fits for a line

What we look for in your statements

For a revolving line, reviewers want to see a store whose deposits are steady enough to support repeated draws. That usually means regular processor and marketplace payouts, few negative balance days, and existing obligations that leave room in monthly cash flow. Seasonal swings are normal in ecommerce, so if your fourth quarter dwarfs your spring, say so when you apply.

Refunds and chargebacks are part of selling online too. A reasonable level is expected. If you had an unusual spike from a bad batch or a shipping problem, a short explanation helps us read the numbers in context.

Using a line responsibly

A line is most useful when draws are short and tied to revenue you can see coming. For illustration: a store draws to cover a reorder while waiting on a delayed marketplace payout, then repays once the payout clears. That is a healthy cycle. Drawing every month to cover a gap that never closes is a sign the business needs a different fix, like better margins or slower growth.

We would rather you use a line for the first pattern than the second, and we will be straightforward if your statements suggest otherwise.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a line of credit different from a lump sum?

You draw from a set amount as needed and repay, then the balance is available again. A lump sum is funded all at once.

What size line can my store get?

It depends mainly on your deposits and existing obligations. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000.

Do I need tax returns?

No. About three months of business bank statements are what we review.

Does applying affect my credit?

We begin with a soft credit pull, which does not affect your score like a hard inquiry can.

Can I see the costs before I accept?

Yes. Your offer shows the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept.
