She could only pay the fine because she had no prior criminal record - it's mentioned in the article.

You're referring to this part, right?

[...] her lack of a prior criminal record made it legally possible to convert the 74 lashes into a cash fine.

Does a criminal record include cash fines in Iran, or does she continue having no criminal record?

If it's like pretty much anywhere else, the fine simply replaces the lashes in the sentencing phase. The conviction happened long before that and is separate.
