Introducing: Payability Instant Advance for Shopify
Multichannel funding and early payout solution, Payability, recently launched Instant Advance for Shopify! If you're ready to take your Shopify growth plans to the next level, apply now to get up to $250,000 in 24 hours based on your Shopify sales. Connect all of your other marketplaces and platforms and you can get an offer based on your entire eCommerce portfolio, not just one of the many channels you sell on.
In order to qualify you need 9 months of selling history with an average monthly sales of $2,000 on Shopify. Once you've connected your Shopify store, you can get funded as soon as the next business day. There are no credit checks and Payability works well alongside Shopify Capital and the financing options you already have in place. Unlike other funding options that hold you to the full cost even if you're able to pay it back in full early, Instant Advance is different.
Payability offers a true rebate, so the sooner you pay it back, the less you'll pay in fees. Best of all you'll get to speak to actual people the whole way through (no virtual answering services or all-or-nothing automated offers). Their U.S.-based team is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST to answer all your questions and offer real human support both pre and post funding.
Get an offer now at go.payability.com/KeywordShopify. Payability also provides funding including next-day marketplace payouts to businesses on Amazon, Walmart, Newegg, Tophatter, Etsy and more.
