The platform supports major e-commerce integrations and offers custom solutions, facilitating a hassle-free experience for both retailers and consumers. For online retailers, Katapult’s integration process is streamlined and supported by major e-commerce platforms, while physical stores require no special equipment to start offering financing options.
