HOW IT WORKS

The Terrace Finance platform works to match the customer with a lender.

The contract and first payment are initiated by the assigned lender.
You receive confirmation from the lender and release the goods!

Click the “+” Sign
Certain fields within the invoice will be auto-populated. You will need to fill in the rest. Click the “+” sign to enter the product in formation of the item(s). Keep clicking the “+” to add more items.
You can upload your own invoice from your computer, but it must contain the same required info such as brand, SKU, etc. To upload your own, click the “+” sign and then below it hit the blue “select file(s)” button to import.
Submit
In order to submit the final invoice, fields in red should be auto-populated by the system. Fields in green* should be completed by you.
If the lender has not issued an approval yet, the Approval Amount field will be blank. You can click Save and come back to the invoice when the customer receives their approval.
Click the Save and Submit buttons when all fields are complete.
