When B2B companies need to manage net terms, accelerate cash flow, and streamline accounts receivable, selecting the right payment platform becomes a pivotal business decision. Two options in this space Kickfurther and Slope represent fundamentally different approaches to B2B financing. Kickfurther operates as a community-funded inventory consignment platform for CPG brands, while Slope is positioned around embedded B2B payments and order-to-cash automation for enterprise and software-led commerce environments. This comparison examines how these platforms differ and explores why mid-market B2B sellers seeking net terms financing with non-recourse protection and comprehensive AR automation often turn to Resolve Pay.
Kickfurther positions itself as an inventory consignment funding platform, specifically designed for consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands that sell physical products. Founded in 2014, the platform operates through a unique community marketplace model where individual investors fund inventory "Co-Ops" in exchange for returns when products sell.
The platform targets CPG brands needing to finance inventory production without taking on traditional debt or giving up equity. Brands create Co-Op listings detailing their inventory needs, and individual investors on the platform commit capital to fund those purchases. The funds go directly to manufacturers, and brands repay investors as the inventory sells over a period typically ranging from 1 to 10 months.
Slope takes a different approach, positioning itself as an embedded B2B payments platform with order-to-cash automation capabilities. The company emphasizes its API-first architecture and AI-supported risk assessment for buyer underwriting. Slope has established enterprise credibility through its partnership with J.P. Morgan, which validates its positioning in the large enterprise segment.
Slope's platform enables B2B marketplaces and commerce platforms to offer payment terms directly within their checkout experiences, handling credit decisioning, payment processing, and accounts receivable workflows on behalf of the marketplace.
Resolve Pay is a B2B payments and net terms platform that combines embedded credit expertise, invoice advancement, payments, and receivables automation.

Mid-market B2B companies face unique challenges in balancing competitive payment terms with cash flow management and credit risk. Resolve Pay addresses these challenges comprehensively for established manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors.
Eligible Resolve Pay advances are non-recourse for covered buyer credit default, subject to buyer approval, invoice validity, verification, exclusions, and applicable program terms. This structure helps sellers manage credit exposure when extending payment terms to customers.
Eligible approved invoices may receive advance payment before the buyer's due date, with advance amounts and timing determined by underwriting and program requirements. This transforms cash flow for businesses that traditionally wait 30, 60, or 90 days for customer payment.
Resolve Pay uses AI-supported analysis, business information, behavioral signals, and credit expertise. Some qualifying workflows can produce rapid or instant decisions, while other applications may require additional verification. This speed enables sales teams to provide credit approvals during customer conversations.
The platform handles invoice generation, payment reminders, reconciliation, and agentic collections. This automation reduces the administrative burden on finance teams while improving collection rates and reducing days sales outstanding
Direct integrations with Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, and WooCommerce enable net terms at online checkout. B2B buyers can apply for credit, receive instant decisions on qualifying purchases, and complete transactions immediately all without leaving the seller's website.
With over 15,000 businesses on the platform and documented customer success stories spanning construction equipment, lighting, industrial supply, and many other verticals, Resolve Pay has demonstrated its model works across diverse B2B industries.
For B2B wholesalers, manufacturers, and distributors seeking to grow sales through competitive payment terms while protecting cash flow, Resolve Pay provides a comprehensive solution built specifically for established B2B sellers.
Resolve Pay enables B2B sellers to offer Net 30, 60, or 90 payment terms to business buyers while receiving working capital through invoice advances. When a seller invoices an approved buyer, eligible transactions may receive advance payment before the buyer's due date. Resolve Pay handles the entire credit-to-cash workflow including buyer credit evaluation, invoice processing, payment collection, and reconciliation. The platform integrates with major ecommerce platforms and accounting systems, allowing sellers to embed net terms directly into their sales channels without disrupting existing workflows.
Non-recourse financing means that for eligible approved invoices, Resolve Pay assumes the credit risk on covered buyer defaults. Subject to buyer approval, invoice validity, verification, exclusions, and applicable program terms, if an approved buyer fails to pay an eligible invoice, the seller is not required to repay the advance they received. This protection helps B2B sellers extend payment terms more confidently, knowing that covered credit risk is managed by Resolve Pay rather than remaining entirely on the seller's balance sheet.
Resolve Pay uses AI-supported analysis, business information, behavioral signals, and credit expertise to evaluate buyer creditworthiness. Some qualifying workflows can produce rapid or instant decisions, while other applications may require additional verification depending on the buyer profile, transaction amount, and available data. For certain ecommerce purchases up to $25,000, instant approval may be available. The credit evaluation considers thousands of data points to make informed risk assessments while maintaining speed that supports the sales process.
Resolve Pay provides comprehensive AR automation covering the full invoice-to-cash cycle. The platform automatically generates and delivers invoices, sends payment reminders on configurable schedules, processes incoming payments across multiple channels (ACH, wire, credit card, check), and reconciles payments against open invoices using machine learning. The agentic collections capability automatically follows up with buyers through email, SMS, and voice AI when payments approach or pass their due dates. Real-time dashboards provide visibility into aging, DSO, and collection performance without manual report generation.
Resolve Pay supports integrations with major ecommerce platforms including Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento 2, and WooCommerce, enabling net terms at online checkout. On the accounting and ERP side, the platform connects with QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage Intacct, and Oracle NetSuite for invoice synchronization and payment reconciliation. Industry-specific integrations include AIMS360 for apparel and fashion businesses. For custom implementations, Resolve Pay provides a REST API with webhooks and a sandbox environment for development. These integrations enable sellers to embed net terms into existing sales channels and maintain synchronized financial records without duplicate data entry.
