Sprinque enables B2B merchants, platforms, and marketplaces to offer Pay by Invoice to their buyers — seamlessly integrated into the purchasing journey, removing manual work for finance teams and eliminating potential risk. Sprinque performs real-time credit and fraud risk assessments on buyers and issues a revolving credit limit as well as net payment terms to approved buyers. Approved buyers can then select Pay by Invoice when placing their orders. When the final invoice is generated, Sprinque pays out the merchant and takes over the default risk of the receivable, while the buyer pays Sprinque according to the payment terms they received.

Our white-label B2B payments platform drives growth, unlocks cash flows, de-risks net terms, and eliminates administration overhead. Sprinque handles all tasks related to offering net payment terms to buyers - risk and fraud assessment, collection, dunning, and reconciliation, allowing ambitious B2B merchants and marketplaces to focus on growth.

The Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) term comes from B2C e-commerce, but the concept of BNPL has existed in B2B commerce for centuries. Business buyersexpect to pay for transactions using an invoice. Given that B2B transactions are often far more complex than B2C transactions, we prefer to use the term Pay by Invoice with different net payment terms, including 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, or 90 days, and instalments.

Traditional factoring services usually solve only for cash flow. Sprinque solves both cash flow and process issues. We provide an end-to-end, automated solution that allows merchants to offer Pay by Invoice to both online and offline buyers without any default risk and with the option to get paid instantly. This allows the merchant to focus on their growth while Sprinque takes care of the rest.

Sprinque is industry-agnostic and works with merchants and buyers globally.
