The story

Factory Buys was founded in 2017 in Brisbane, Australia, as a direct-to-consumer online retailer focused on furniture, mattresses, and home goods. The company operates a direct-to-you model designed to undercut traditional retail pricing. The Shopify-powered storefront is complemented by buy-now-pay-later via Afterpay, reflecting a standard embedded finance pattern for Australian e-commerce: BNPL at checkout to increase conversion on higher-ticket items.
