How Allterra Solar Improved Its Solar Business with Paystand

As Allterra Solar grew, its finance team faced increasing operational complexity. With over 400 projects and $7M in annual payments managed by just two people, manual payment processes created bottlenecks across both accounts receivable and accounts payable.

The company was losing margin to credit card fees, slowing collections with paper checks, and spending hours on manual reconciliation across disconnected systems. Traditional payment systems were not built for modern B2B operations, making it difficult to scale financial workflows efficiently.

Spend visibility was also limited. A shared corporate credit card meant one compromised transaction could disrupt operations, with no way to control or track spend by employee or purchase type.

Paystand deployed a fully digital payment infrastructure to modernize Allterra Solar's financial operations across accounts receivable and accounts payable.

The platform introduced embedded payment links in invoices, a branded digital payment portal, automated invoice processing and reminders, virtual cards for secure vendor payments, eCheck and zero-fee payment options, and real-time QuickBooks sync for automatic reconciliation.

This end-to-end automation dramatically simplified both accounts receivable and accounts payable workflows — eliminating manual entry and accelerating cash collection.

On the spend side, virtual cards gave Allterra Solar the ability to assign secure, trackable cards to individual employees and accounts, with transactions syncing automatically to QuickBooks — replacing a shared card and closing a major security gap.
