Finance at the point of need
At basket or invoice stage, quote the order value with the quote endpoint and show 'spread this cost' with a real monthly figure.
Hand the buyer off
Submit an enquiry with the order context and redirect to the handoff_url. Credicorp lends to the buyer's limited company, keeping your marketplace out of the credit relationship.
async function financeOrder(order) {
const res = await fetch(`${BASE}/enquiries`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Idempotency-Key': order.id },
body: JSON.stringify({
company: { name: order.buyer.companyName, number: order.buyer.companyNumber },
contact: { email: order.buyer.email },
amount: order.total,
purpose: 'stock_purchase',
}),
});
const { handoff_url } = await res.json();
window.location.href = handoff_url;
}
Place it at the right moment
Timing decides conversion. Surface the option where the buyer feels the cost — at basket review, on the invoice, or on an order-confirmation screen for a repeat purchase — not on a generic footer. Pre-fill the amount from the order total so the quote is instantly relevant, and pass the marketplace order id as the idempotency key so a retried checkout never creates a duplicate enquiry.
Stay out of the credit chain
Your marketplace introduces the buyer; Credicorp underwrites and lends to the buyer's limited company directly. That keeps you clear of the regulated credit relationship while still adding a genuinely useful funding option. For revenue share and settlement callbacks, onboard to the partner ring.
Frequently asked questions
Who holds the credit relationship?
Credicorp lends directly to the borrowing company. Your marketplace is the introducer, not the lender.
Can I finance sellers too?
Yes — a seller needing working capital is a standard use case. Quote and hand off exactly the same way.
