Buying personally, or want the fastest path? Shop Pay at checkout — instant decision, no separate application. Accessory orders under $1,000 can even split into 4 interest-free payments.

Registered business with a Part 107 license? APPROVE. Multiple lenders compete for your loan, which drives rates down — established businesses see the strongest terms, and you can finance up to $500,000.

Credit below what Shop Pay or APPROVE’s lenders want? ClickLease approves scores down to ~500. It costs more, but it keeps the door open.

Two things: a registered business (LLC, sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation) and a FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. The application takes about 60 seconds and uses a soft credit pull to show you offers. APPROVE’s network of lenders then competes to fund your equipment — you pick the best terms.

Don’t have your Part 107 yet? It’s a knowledge test you can typically prep for in 1–2 weeks — and if you’re flying commercially, you need it anyway. Get the cert, then finance the drone at business rates.

If you run a business and hold a Part 107, apply with APPROVE — business underwriting looks at more than personal credit, and rates are better. Otherwise, ClickLease underwrites the business case, not just the FICO, and approves customers down to ~500 credit with a 2-minute application and no hard inquiry.

Shop Pay Installments: Soft credit check at checkout for both the 4-pay and monthly options. No impact to your credit score.

ClickLease: Soft pull only on the application. No hard inquiry.

Yes. Both Shop Pay and ClickLease can cover the full cart: drone, payload, extra batteries, ground station, cases, and training packages. Bundle everything you need for the job into one purchase and one payment plan.

If the drone is used for your business, yes — with either financing option. The financing method doesn’t change whether the equipment is deductible; the use does.

Shop Pay: You own the drone immediately, so your accountant can typically take a full Section 179 deduction in year 1 (up to current annual limits) or use bonus/MACRS depreciation across multiple years.

ClickLease: Monthly lease payments are commonly deducted as a business operating expense. Because the lease ends with a buyout (lease-to-own), some CPAs treat it as a capital lease and apply Section 179 to the equipment instead. Your accountant will pick the most advantageous treatment.

We’re not tax advisors — talk to your CPA before year-end to confirm what applies to your situation.

At the end of your lease term, you make three additional monthly payments (the "purchase option") and then own the drone outright. You can also choose to return the equipment if your needs have changed — flexibility that’s harder to get with a traditional loan.

No. Sole proprietors, single-member LLCs, partnerships, and corporations all qualify. You’ll need a verifiable business, a valid SSN or EIN, a mobile phone number, and to be 18 or older.

Same-day to next-business-day in most cases. Shop Pay orders ship the moment checkout completes. ClickLease orders ship as soon as your signed lease agreement is in place — usually the same day you’re approved.

Yes — through APPROVE, which finances from $1,500 all the way to $500,000. Fleet orders, thermal platforms, full enterprise kits with payloads and ground stations — all fundable in one application. Shop Pay and ClickLease cap around $30,000, so APPROVE is the path for larger purchases.

Shop Pay Installments has no prepayment penalty. ClickLease lease terms vary — ask during your approval call about early buyout options if that matters to you.
