Financing & Checkout Tools
Katapult vs. Fitzy for Tire & Wheel Shops
A lease-to-own financing provider used by retailers to offer flexible payment options at checkout.
Katapult is a real, legitimate financing & checkout tools provider — this page isn't claiming otherwise. It's not a full storefront, so the fair comparison isn't feature-for-feature; it's what you'd still need to build (or buy) around it to sell tires and wheels online, versus what Fitzy already includes in one platform.
| What It Takes | Fitzy | Katapult |
|---|---|---|
| What it actually is | A complete ecommerce platform (financing included) | A financing/checkout option only |
| Tire & wheel fitment engine | Yes, built in | Not applicable |
| Live supplier inventory & fulfillment | Yes | Not applicable |
| Consumer financing at checkout | Yes (Affirm/Snap, already integrated) | Yes, this is their core product |
| Requires you to already have a storefront | No — it's the storefront too | Yes |
Common Questions
Does Fitzy use Katapult?
Fitzy's checkout includes consumer financing (Affirm and Snap Finance) built in, so you don't need to separately integrate Katapult or a similar provider to offer payment plans.
Is Katapult a replacement for a tire & wheel storefront?
No — Katapult is a financing/checkout option, not a storefront, fitment engine, or inventory source. It's typically layered on top of an existing ecommerce platform.
Can I keep using Katapult with Fitzy?
Fitzy's built-in financing options are already tied to checkout, so most shops don't need an additional financing provider. Mention any specific requirement during your demo.
What else would I need besides Katapult to sell tires and wheels online?
A fitment engine, live supplier inventory, a storefront, and fulfillment management — all of which are already included in Fitzy.
