Small business loans and credit for online stores
Online stores need funding for inventory that is repaid as orders come in, not on a fixed schedule. Stripe Capital charges a flat fee with no interest, needs no paperwork, and takes a cut of your Stripe sales. It's only available if Stripe offers it; Shopify Capital does the same for Shopify stores.
