LendPro, Storis announce strategic partnership on NextGen financing for home furnishings retailers

CHARTLOTTESVILLE, Va.  — LendPro 2.0, the rapidly evolving consumer finance platform, and Storis, the retail industry’s leading Unified Commerce Solution for home furnishings and appliance retailers, are proud to announce a strategic partnership agreement that seeks to “bring transformative speed and modernization to retail financing.”

This initial integration embeds LendPro 2.0 into the Storis ERP and NextGen platforms—streamlining access to a powerful, multi-lender waterfall system from within the merchant’s existing POS and eCommerce workflows. The result: faster deployment, more approvals, and a seamless consumer financing experience online and in-store. The future integration will include LendPro 2.0 and eSTORIS.

The partnership also establishes LendPro 2.0 as a strategic enabler of Storis’ “NextGen” financing roadmap, working with each lender on the platform to upgrade integrations, data visibility, and compliance—accelerating the entire ecosystem’s ability to support modern consumer expectations.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Storis to bring NextGen financing to the forefront,” said Matthew Dishman, president and chief executive officer of LendPro.

“LendPro 2.0 is about speed, data, and seamless consumer experience. This partnership gives retailers the full power of our multi-lender system directly inside Storis, which they already trust.”

A Shared Vision for Smarter Financing

With this partnership, Storis retailers can gain access to a plug-and-play financing solution that routes every credit application through a single path — evaluating prime, near-prime, and lease-to-own options with real-time waterfall logic. The integration eliminates the need for multiple lender portals and manual re-entry, allowing retailers to offer smarter, faster financing choices to every customer.

“Our collaboration with LendPro enhances the financial tools available to our retailers,” said Doug Culmone, president of Storis.

“It aligns with our mission to simplify retail operations while enriching the customer experience through technology. This integration will support long-term growth for our clients, both in-store and online.”

Industry Leaders Endorse the Partnership

One of the first major adopters of the integrated solution is American Furniture Warehouse (AFW), a top 100 retailer and longtime Storis client.

“LendPro has been a white-glove partner from day one,” said Lee Nelson of AFW.

“We’ve used Storis for years, and adding LendPro brought immediate value. The LendPro reporting is best-in-class, their service is hands-on, and we now have unified insight across lenders. This partnership is a big step forward in giving our customers more flexible and transparent financing options.”
