About Parafin

Parafin provides a financing solution designed for online platforms and their merchant partners. The service allows these platforms to offer financing under their own brand, which helps them generate revenue and build loyalty with their merchants. Parafin's offerings include underwriting, funding, go-to-market strategies, servicing, compliance, and customer support. The financing is based on the sales history of the merchants, with no interest, late fees, or credit checks involved. Payments are automated and adjust according to sales, with funds available in as little as one business day. Parafin has partnered with major platforms like Amazon, MindBody, and DoorDash to facilitate quick and flexible financing for various business needs, such as opening new locations or upgrading equipment.
