Resolve Pay vs Hokodo vs FundThrough

Written by Resolve Team | Sep 11, 2026, 11:02:23 AM

 

Selecting the right B2B financing solution can determine whether your business thrives with healthy cash flow or struggles with working capital constraints. While Hokodo once offered European B2B BNPL services and FundThrough provides invoice factoring, Resolve Pay delivers comprehensive net terms financing with non-recourse protection and full AR automation. Understanding these fundamental differences helps mid-market manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers select the approach that matches their cash flow goals, risk tolerance, and operational requirements.

When B2B suppliers evaluate financing options for their accounts receivable, the choice between non-recourse net terms financing and traditional invoice factoring becomes critical. Three distinct approaches have represented different philosophies toward B2B payment management. Hokodo operated as a European B2B BNPL provider until its shutdown in late 2025. FundThrough functions as an invoice factoring company. Resolve Pay takes a different approach, combining non-recourse invoice advances with integrated AR automation to reduce supplier exposure to buyer default risk while streamlining receivables workflows.

Key Takeaways

  • Resolve Pay provides non-recourse advances on eligible approved invoices, meaning suppliers generally keep the advanced funds if an approved buyer defaults, while FundThrough may charge back significantly overdue invoices and require repayment or invoice substitution
  • Hokodo ceased all operations in late 2025 after raising approximately $177 million, making it no longer a viable option for businesses seeking B2B payment solutions
  • Resolve Pay serves 15,000+ businesses and provides fast AI-powered credit decisions, while FundThrough states that businesses can receive an initial funding limit within 24 hours and eligible approved invoices can be funded as soon as the next business day
  • FundThrough uses a process that includes customer verification and a Notice of Assignment directing customer payments to FundThrough, whereas Resolve Pay offers a white-label buyer experience that maintains your brand relationship throughout the payment process
  • Resolve Pay includes native ecommerce integrations with Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Magento, enabling embedded net terms at B2B checkout, while FundThrough focuses primarily on invoice factoring workflows
  • Resolve Pay's comprehensive platform combines credit decisioning, accounts receivable automation, and collections management in a single solution, while FundThrough functions primarily as a funding tool
  • Businesses previously evaluating Hokodo now need an active solution suited to their geographic market and B2B payment requirements

Understanding the Landscape: Invoice Factoring vs. Non-Recourse Net Terms Financing

The B2B financing market encompasses distinct categories, each serving different operational models and risk profiles. Understanding these fundamental differences helps finance leaders select solutions aligned with their growth stage and risk tolerance.

Traditional Invoice Factoring

Companies like FundThrough purchase your outstanding invoices, providing immediate cash while your customers pay on their normal terms. The value proposition centers on fast access to working capital. Factoring typically involves customer verification processes, and if an invoice becomes significantly overdue, the factoring company may charge it back and establish a repayment plan or request another eligible invoice.

B2B Buy Now Pay Later Solutions

Platforms like the former Hokodo offered deferred payment options for business buyers at checkout, similar to consumer BNPL but designed for B2B transactions. These platforms handled credit assessment and payment collection while merchants received payment upfront. However, geographic limitations and business viability challenges affected this category.

Non-Recourse Net Terms Financing

Platforms like Resolve Pay represent a fundamentally different model. Rather than traditional invoice factoring, Resolve Pay enables sellers to offer Net 30, 60, or 90 payment terms while receiving advances on eligible invoices within 1-2 business days. Critically, Resolve Pay uses a non-recourse structure on approved invoices, meaning suppliers generally keep their advance payments if approved buyers fail to pay.

The fundamental distinction lies in risk allocation: traditional factoring may require repayment or substitution on significantly overdue invoices, while Resolve Pay's non-recourse model reduces that exposure away from suppliers on eligible approved transactions.

Resolve Pay: Non-Recourse B2B Payments and AR Automation

Resolve Pay's Approach to B2B Financing

Resolve Pay operates as a B2B payments platform enabling manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers to offer competitive payment terms while protecting cash flow and reducing credit risk on eligible approved advances. Resolve Pay originated as a B2B-focused spinout from Affirm in 2018. Its broader credit team includes professionals with experience at companies such as Amazon and PayPal.

The core value proposition combines three elements:

  • Non-recourse financing: Sellers generally keep advanced funds if approved buyers default, helping reduce bad-debt exposure on eligible approved advances
  • Immediate cash flow: Advances on eligible invoices within 1-2 business days while buyers pay on Net 30, 60, or 90 terms
  • Complete AR automation: AI-powered invoice generation, payment reconciliation, and agentic collections management

AI-Powered Credit Engine

Resolve Pay's proprietary credit engine evaluates thousands of buyer data points including cash flow trends, payment history, and behavioral signals to deliver credit decisions within 24 hours. The system provides:

  • Fast credit decisions, with some qualifying purchases up to $25,000 eligible for instant approval
  • Dynamic credit lines that adjust based on payment history
  • Quiet credit checks that do not notify buyers or impact their credit scores
  • Elimination of manual trade reference calls and spreadsheet tracking

This AI-driven approach replaces the manual underwriting processes that slow down traditional credit assessment, enabling suppliers to approve new customers quickly and confidently.

Comprehensive AR Automation Platform

Beyond financing, Resolve Pay automates the entire accounts receivable workflow:

  • Automated invoice generation synced from ERP and accounting systems
  • Smart payment reconciliation using ML to match invoice-to-cash automatically
  • Real-time AR dashboard showing DSO, aging, and portfolio health
  • Automated bookkeeping sync to QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, and NetSuite

Companies using Resolve Pay report 14+ hours saved weekly on manual AR work, with workload reductions of up to 90%.

Agentic Collections

Resolve Pay's agentic collections system manages the follow-up process through:

  • Multi-channel automated sequences via email, SMS, and voice AI outbound calls
  • Intelligent escalation based on buyer response and payment history
  • Configurable day thresholds that adapt to each customer's profile
  • Automatic pause when payment or dispute is received
  • Professional, relationship-preserving communication tone

This automated approach preserves customer relationships while reducing DSO.

Native Ecommerce and ERP Integrations

Resolve Pay connects directly with the platforms B2B suppliers already use.

Ecommerce platforms:

  • Shopify
  • BigCommerce (winner of 2025 BigCommerce Innovative Integration Award)
  • Magento 2
  • WooCommerce

ERP and accounting systems:

  • QuickBooks Online
  • Xero
  • Sage Intacct
  • Oracle NetSuite

The native integrations enable embedded net terms at checkout, automatic invoice syncing, and payment reconciliation without manual data entry.

When Resolve Pay Fits Best

Resolve Pay serves mid-market B2B suppliers needing:

  • Non-recourse protection to reduce default risk on eligible approved invoices
  • Comprehensive AR automation beyond simple funding
  • Native ecommerce integration for embedded B2B net terms
  • White-label buyer experience maintaining brand relationships
  • Integrated credit, payments, AR automation, and collections workflows for growing B2B businesses

Hokodo: A Cautionary Tale in B2B BNPL

What Happened to Hokodo

Hokodo operated as a European B2B BNPL provider from 2018 until its shutdown in late 2025. According to FinTech Futures, the company had raised approximately $177 million in equity and debt funding and processed over €500 million in invoices across 10+ European countries.

Key timeline:

  • Final transaction processed: November 2025
  • Production and sandbox APIs permanently disabled: March 23, 2026
  • Founders subsequently launched new venture Liquidity Lab

Why This Matters for Your Evaluation

Hokodo's shutdown carries important implications for businesses evaluating B2B payment solutions:

  • Geographic coverage: Hokodo served European markets exclusively. US-based suppliers always needed alternative solutions.
  • Business continuity risk: Companies relying on Hokodo faced sudden disruption when the service ended.
  • Platform status: Businesses previously evaluating Hokodo now need an active solution suited to their geographic market and B2B payment requirements.

For US-based B2B suppliers, Resolve Pay provides comprehensive solutions with the financial stability of $85 million in funding and a growing base of 15,000+ businesses.

FundThrough: Invoice Factoring Approach

FundThrough's Primary Focus

FundThrough positions itself as an invoice factoring solution for small and mid-sized businesses in North America. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Toronto, the company has funded nearly $3 billion in invoices and raised $96.3 million in funding according to PitchBook data.

The platform offers:

  • Invoice advances based on eligible approved invoices
  • Next-business-day funding on approved invoices
  • Flexible invoice selection
  • QuickBooks integration for basic accounting sync
  • No long-term contract requirements

FundThrough's Operating Model

FundThrough focuses on invoice factoring for businesses that want to receive payment on eligible receivables before their customers' original payment terms. Its process includes customer verification and a Notice of Assignment directing customer payments to FundThrough.

If an invoice becomes significantly overdue, FundThrough states that it may charge the invoice back and establish a repayment plan or request another eligible invoice. Resolve Pay uses a different structure, providing non-recourse advances on eligible approved invoices alongside credit management and AR automation.

FundThrough also supports QuickBooks-based invoice workflows. Resolve Pay extends its platform across credit decisioning, invoicing, payment reconciliation, collections, ecommerce checkout, and ERP or accounting integrations.

How Resolve Pay Differs

FundThrough centers its offering on invoice factoring and selective receivables funding. Resolve Pay is designed for B2B suppliers that want invoice advancement alongside credit decisioning, AR automation, collections, payment workflows, and ecommerce or ERP integrations in one platform.

Comparing Key Features: Risk, Funding Speed, and Automation

Who Bears the Credit Risk?

The most significant difference between these solutions lies in risk allocation.

Resolve Pay (Non-Recourse):

  • Resolve Pay uses non-recourse advances on eligible approved invoices
  • Suppliers generally keep advance payments if approved buyers fail to pay
  • Credit risk transfers away from the seller on approved transactions
  • Reduced bad-debt exposure on eligible approved advances

FundThrough:

  • If an invoice becomes significantly overdue, FundThrough may charge back the invoice
  • Sellers may need to establish a repayment plan or provide another eligible invoice
  • Credit exposure may continue on factored receivables

Hokodo (No Longer Available):

  • Previously offered financing when operational
  • No longer a viable option following shutdown

For suppliers seeking to reduce credit risk, Resolve Pay's non-recourse model provides protection on eligible approved invoices.

FundThrough: Initial funding limit can be provided within 24 hours. Approved invoices can be funded as soon as the next business day.

Hokodo: No longer operational.

Resolve Pay's AI-powered credit engine delivers fast decisions while maintaining rigorous risk assessment, enabling suppliers to onboard new customers quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between non-recourse and recourse financing?

Non-recourse financing, like what Resolve Pay offers on eligible approved invoices, means the financing provider assumes the credit risk. If an approved buyer fails to pay, the seller generally keeps their advance payment. With traditional factoring arrangements, if an invoice becomes significantly overdue, the factoring company may charge back the invoice and require repayment or substitution. This fundamental difference determines who bears the bad debt risk in your accounts receivable portfolio.

Can Resolve Pay integrate with my existing ERP or accounting software?

Yes, Resolve Pay provides integrations across major ERP and accounting systems, including QuickBooks Online and NetSuite, with additional supported connection options across its financial technology stack. Integration behavior varies by system and configuration, helping streamline invoice, payment, and reconciliation workflows while eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors.

What happened to Hokodo and what does that mean for businesses?

Hokodo shut down in late 2025, and its APIs were subsequently disabled in March 2026. Businesses seeking an active B2B payments platform should assess geographic availability and required workflows. Resolve Pay provides US-focused B2B sellers with net terms, non-recourse invoice advances, credit management, and AR automation.

How quickly can I get credit decisions and funding with Resolve Pay?

Resolve Pay's AI-powered credit engine delivers decisions within 24 hours, with some qualifying purchases up to $25,000 eligible for instant approval. Once buyers are approved, suppliers receive advances on eligible invoices within 1-2 business days. This enables suppliers to onboard new customers quickly while maintaining rigorous risk assessment standards.

Will my customers know I am using a financing solution?

With Resolve Pay's white-label approach, buyers interact with a branded payment portal that maintains your company's identity throughout the experience. Buyers are not notified of the financing arrangement, and quiet credit checks do not impact buyer credit scores. This helps preserve customer relationships while you benefit from improved cash flow and credit protection.
