Testimonials

“Teampay by Paystand has been incredibly transformational for our business. Reimbursable business expenses have dropped dramatically, which is amazing. And it just allows us much greater control over the expenses that are coming through to the business.”

Go Beyond POs with Proactive Spend Approval

Apply policy before money moves—across every payment workflow.
Not all purchases run through a PO. Marketing campaigns, subscriptions, travel, and one-off expenses still need control. Paystand extends spend approval and payment approval to every request, embedding checks inside the tools your teams already use. With guided payment workflows, budgets stay on track and policy is enforced before funds are committed.

What this adds beyond PO approvals

Unified spend approval for PO and non-PO purchases (cards, reimbursements, software, vendors)
Dynamic payment workflows that route by amount, category, department, or vendor risk
Faster payment approvals with Slack/Teams prompts, inline Q&A, and instant status updates
Pre-approved payment methods (cards or virtual accounts) provisioned only after approval
Complete audit trail from request → approval → payment → reconciliation

Outcomes you can measure

Fewer out-of-policy payments and surprise expenses
Shorter cycle times from request to approved payment
Clearer budget visibility across all payment workflows—not just POs

Transform Your Purchase Approval Workflow

Empower employees to get the resources they need quickly—securely, and in-policy. With Paystand’s purchase order automation, you’ll have a fully auditable, automated approval process from request to payment.
