Selecting the right B2B payment and financing solution can determine whether your business thrives with healthy cash flow or struggles with working capital constraints. While FundThrough offers invoice factoring and Coupa Pay provides enterprise spend and payment capabilities, Resolve Pay delivers comprehensive net terms financing combined with AR automation and non-recourse protection on eligible approved invoices. Understanding the fundamental differences between recourse factoring, buyer-side procurement tools, and seller-focused financing platforms helps manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers select the approach that matches their cash flow needs, risk tolerance, and growth objectives.
The B2B financial technology market encompasses three distinct categories, each serving different operational models and business objectives. J.P. Morgan research on payment trends highlights the growing importance of treasury optimization, payment technology, and cash-flow management as businesses evaluate financial tools that support operational efficiency and growth.
Invoice factoring platforms like FundThrough serve as liquidity tools that purchase your outstanding invoices at a discount. These platforms provide quick access to cash tied up in receivables, operating on a recourse basis where sellers remain responsible when buyers fail to pay. The value proposition centers on speed and spot-factoring flexibility, allowing businesses to select which specific invoices to factor based on immediate cash needs.
Procurement and AP automation platforms like Coupa Pay represent the buyer side of B2B transactions. These tools help enterprises manage supplier relationships, streamline purchase orders, automate invoice processing, and control spending across the organization. Coupa Pay serves large enterprises managing complex procurement workflows across multiple countries, with supplier-facing capabilities available through the Coupa Supplier Portal. However, the primary focus remains enterprise spend management rather than seller financing.
Integrated B2B financing platforms like Resolve Pay represent a paradigm shift from point solutions to comprehensive revenue operations. Rather than simply purchasing invoices or automating buyer-side processes, Resolve Pay combines non-recourse net terms financing on eligible approved invoices with complete AR automation in a single platform. Sellers offer Net 30, 60, or 90 terms to buyers while receiving payment within one to two business days. The platform handles credit decisioning, collections, and payment reconciliation automatically.
The fundamental distinction lies in risk allocation and operational scope:
The spectrum of risk management in B2B payments spans from full seller exposure to structured risk transfer, with profound implications for financial planning and growth capacity. Federal Reserve research notes that business cash flow can significantly influence investment, particularly for firms with more limited access to external capital.
Recourse models require sellers to guarantee payment. If a buyer defaults, the seller must repurchase the invoice or cover the loss directly. FundThrough operates this way, advancing funds against invoices while retaining the right to collect from sellers when buyers fail to pay. This model works for businesses confident in their customer creditworthiness but creates exposure that can impact cash flow.
Non-recourse models transfer applicable credit risk to the financing provider for eligible approved transactions. Resolve Pay evaluates buyer creditworthiness through its AI-powered credit engine, approves qualified buyers, and assumes responsibility for collecting payment on covered invoices according to program terms. For eligible approved invoices covered by Resolve Pay's non-recourse program, sellers keep the advance if a covered buyer default occurs, subject to the applicable program terms.
This risk difference impacts your customer portfolio in several ways:
FundThrough's recourse structure means sellers bear the risk of buyer non-payment. Coupa Pay operates in a different dimension entirely, focusing on helping buyers manage their payment obligations and spend workflows while also giving suppliers tools to view and manage payments through the Coupa Supplier Portal.
Resolve Pay operates as an integrated B2B payments platform combining net terms financing with complete accounts receivable automation. Rather than simply purchasing invoices, Resolve Pay enables sellers to offer competitive payment terms while receiving immediate cash and offloading credit and collections work.
The platform runs continuously across the entire receivables lifecycle:
The credit decisioning depth distinguishes Resolve Pay's approach. The AI credit engine evaluates cash flow trends, payment history, and behavioral signals in real time, with instant approvals for many transactions rather than multi-day manual reviews.
Multi-channel integration spans both e-commerce platforms and accounting systems:
E-commerce platforms:
ERP and accounting systems:
Native connections with e-commerce platforms enable embedded net terms at checkout. Two-way sync with accounting systems ensures automatic invoice generation and payment reconciliation without manual data entry.
Enterprise compliance capabilities include SOC 2 Type II certification supporting deployments at regulated businesses. The platform maintains security standards appropriate for handling sensitive financial data and payment processing.
The white-label payment portal maintains seller branding throughout the buyer experience. Customers interact with your company's identity when viewing invoices, making payments, and managing their accounts. This preserves relationships that notification factoring can affect by revealing third-party involvement.
Resolve Pay serves mid-market B2B sellers needing:
The platform works particularly well for manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers extending net terms to business buyers. Industries including HVAC parts distribution, electrical supplies, plumbing supplies, and industrial equipment have achieved significant results with Resolve Pay's approach.
FundThrough is an invoice factoring provider focused on helping B2B companies access cash from eligible outstanding invoices. The platform advances funds against receivables, with sellers selecting specific invoices to factor based on immediate cash needs.
The platform offers capabilities for businesses seeking invoice liquidity:
Several characteristics define FundThrough's operational scope:
The platform integrates with QuickBooks and OpenInvoice for importing eligible invoices but provides narrower accounting system coverage than Resolve Pay's broader ERP connectivity.
FundThrough's recourse model creates different financial dynamics than Resolve Pay's non-recourse approach:
Bad debt exposure: Under recourse factoring, sellers must repurchase invoices or cover losses when buyers default. This contingent liability can materialize unpredictably, affecting cash flow when businesses can least afford it.
Operational scope: FundThrough handles collection of invoices that it factors. Resolve Pay takes a broader approach by combining eligible invoice funding with credit decisioning, invoicing, reconciliation, payment reminders, and collections workflows.
The financial implications of recourse factoring depend on the seller's agreement, customer payment performance, and the treatment of unpaid invoices. Sellers should review the specific recourse provisions associated with their factoring arrangement.
Resolve Pay combines non-recourse protection on eligible approved invoices with AR automation and collections workflows in one platform, helping sellers manage cash flow and receivables administration together.
Coupa Pay is part of Coupa's spend management platform and supports enterprise payment and procure-to-pay workflows. Its operating model differs from Resolve Pay's seller-focused net terms and accounts receivable platform.
Coupa Pay serves enterprise procurement and payment needs:
The platform integrates with major ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics, supporting complex enterprise workflows and approval hierarchies.
Coupa Pay primarily supports enterprise spend and payment workflows while also giving suppliers tools to view and manage payments through the Coupa Supplier Portal. Resolve Pay instead centers on seller-side net terms, credit, and receivables workflows.
Key differences:
For B2B sellers seeking to offer net terms, accelerate cash flow, and automate receivables, Coupa Pay provides no comparable functionality. The platforms serve complementary rather than competing purposes in the B2B ecosystem.
Understanding specific capability differences helps sellers select the right tool for their operational needs.
Resolve Pay provides non-recourse net terms financing where the platform transfers applicable buyer default risk on eligible approved invoices to Resolve Pay, subject to program terms. Sellers receive advances on qualifying invoices within one to two business days while buyers pay on Net 30, 60, or 90 terms. The non-recourse structure transfers applicable buyer default risk on eligible approved invoices to Resolve Pay, subject to program terms.
FundThrough offers recourse invoice factoring where sellers guarantee payment. Advances arrive quickly after initial setup, but sellers must repurchase invoices or cover losses when buyers default.
Coupa Pay provides no seller financing capability. The platform manages buyer-side payment and spend workflows rather than accelerating seller receipts.
Resolve Pay includes comprehensive AR automation with:
FundThrough handles collections associated with factored invoices, while its core product remains focused on invoice factoring rather than full-lifecycle AR management.
Coupa Pay focuses on payment processing for buyers, providing invoice workflows and payment capabilities rather than seller-side collections.
Resolve Pay offers native integrations with major B2B e-commerce platforms:
These integrations enable embedded net terms at checkout, allowing buyers to select payment terms during purchase rather than arranging financing separately.
FundThrough provides no e-commerce checkout integration. Sellers must factor invoices after orders complete rather than offering financing at the point of sale.
Coupa Pay serves enterprise procurement rather than e-commerce sellers, providing no comparable checkout integration for B2B seller platforms.
Resolve Pay maintains two-way sync with:
The integration automatically generates invoices, reconciles payments, and syncs data without manual entry.
FundThrough connects with QuickBooks and OpenInvoice for importing eligible invoices, providing narrower ERP coverage than Resolve Pay's multi-platform connectivity.
Coupa Pay integrates with SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics for enterprise procurement workflows, serving buyer-side system requirements.
The theoretical advantages of integrated non-recourse financing translate to measurable business outcomes across diverse B2B companies. Customer results demonstrate the pipeline impact, efficiency gains, and growth that differentiate Resolve Pay's approach.
Resolve Pay customers consistently report significant business growth enabled by the ability to offer competitive payment terms without cash flow constraints:
The automation capabilities deliver substantial time savings and reductions in manual work:

Resolve Pay is designed for manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and other B2B sellers that want to offer flexible net terms while improving cash flow and reducing receivables administration.
Resolve Pay supports B2B sellers with:
For manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers extending payment terms to business buyers, this integrated approach connects buyer credit, seller cash flow, and accounts receivable operations in one platform.
Point solutions require sellers to stitch together separate tools for credit checks, invoice factoring, collections, and payment processing. Each integration creates manual touchpoints, data gaps, and operational friction.
Resolve Pay consolidates these functions into a single workflow:
This integration eliminates manual work at each stage while maintaining a consistent buyer experience under your brand.
