Trusted by finance teams changing how money moves

Reasons B2B finance teams switch from PayPal for Business to Paystand

Agentic accounts receivable automation

PayPal for Business accepts invoice payments and sends reminders. Paystand automates the full AR workflow, from collections to cash application and deposit reconciliation in the ERP.

Change your payment mix, not just your card rate

PayPal for Business charges 2.99% + $0.49 per card invoice payment. Paystand steers customers to zero-fee bank payments and supports card-fee pass-through where permitted.

Cash application that runs inside your ERP

PayPal Invoicing syncs with QuickBooks and Xero, and Braintree connects to NetSuite as a gateway. Paystand runs cash application and reconciliation inside the ERP itself.
