How Does Paystand Optimize the NetSuite Payment Process?

Automation becomes crucial for growth when switching to an ERP like NetSuite. However, finance and AR departments still rely on archaic payment processes requiring manual labor and are error-prone, costing businesses up to 25% of new revenue due to poor billing and A/R processes.

1. Automation can save businesses $16/invoice. Paystand's pricing plans ensure predictable cash flow and profit for our customers.
2. Simplified AR processes to cut costs and time. Automate invoicing for faster collections. Our reconciliation feature eliminates the need for manual conciliation.
3. Reduced aging receivables by using Paystand's banking network. Allow customers to pay with their preferred method with a few clicks.

Reduce Collection Costs and Payment Fees

Transaction fees are most likely to be involved when conducting a payment. With B2B Payments, the question remains: How much are you willing to give up in fees for every payment you make or receive?

• Guide your merchants to the best payment option with Paystand's proprietary Least-Cost-Routing technology. This technology steers customers to the payment rail, resulting in the lowest cost.
• You can choose to offset transaction costs. You can either absorb the cost, split it, pass it on to your customer, or set a threshold that decides for you based on the invoice amount, customer location, or customer type.
• Zero fees: Paystand's Bank Network is a zero-fee, digital payment rail that gives you access to real-time fund transfers and automated payment settlement. It also offers real-time fund verification and tracking, so you can immediately check if a customer has sufficient funds to pay an invoice.

Cut Down Aging Receivables

SuiteApp payment integrations like Paystand are helping companies reduce their DSO by 30 to 70%. Paystand's features make the receivables process nearly effortless.

• Create digital receivables and capture essential customer data to set up smart processes. NetSuite users love using this feature to attach meta-data and custom fields to open receivables.
• Automate invoices, schedule them in advance, enable auto-pay, or create your customized payment schedule to support subscriptions, future invoices, rentals, utilities, and more.
• Add payment links to your automated invoices, billing reminders, sales orders, and statements to make it easy for customers to pay immediately.

Automate Cash Application and Reconciliation

One of the most significant benefits our customers experience when integrating Paystand is automating the payment process, from invoicing to reconciliation. By optimizing this, collection time is significantly reduced, and cash flow is overall improved.

• Paystand's integration Instantly reconciles payments to your invoices, sales orders, and statements.
• Once payments are received, our integration updates your records in real time. It sends you automatic transfer reports with details of a deposit, its transactions, and any invoices and sales orders a deposit affects.
