The order your customer could not place this week.

You are paid by the lender, on release

Not when the shop has sold the goods, and not on terms you had to extend yourself. The lender pays you directly against the accepted offer, and you release the stock against the code the retailer quotes.

Your invoices are the evidence

The score a lender underwrites on is built from invoices you raised and a person verified. The trading record you already keep is the thing that makes a shop fundable — which means the shops that buy from you most consistently are the ones that qualify.

What you have to do

• Verify a collection code

  At the counter, in the dashboard or on the app. It tells you which loan the order belongs to and what was approved.

• Mark the goods delivered

  Which closes the order and is what the lender’s records rest on.

• Publish where you want to be paid

  A mobile-money account, a bank account, or both. You can hold several and retire one without losing the record of what was paid into it.
