Why Embedded Payments Matter for Business Central Users
Business Central is purpose-built for mid-market companies needing an integrated, cloud-based ERP. But its native payment capabilities leave a meaningful automation gap — particularly for companies with high payment volumes or complex AR workflows.
ERP-embedded payments fill that gap: integrating payment execution directly into Business Central AP and AR workflows so payments are initiated, executed, and reconciled without leaving the ERP.

The Three Business Central Payment Gaps
Outbound Payments: The Manual Process Problem
Most Business Central users process vendor payments through manual bank uploads, check runs, and wire transfers — each requiring data export from BC, external processing, and manual reconciliation back into the ERP.
Inbound Payments: The Cash Application Gap
Matching incoming customer payments to open invoices — especially ACH with incomplete remittance data — is one of the most time-intensive tasks in finance operations.
Reconciliation: The Month-End Sprint
When payments are processed outside Business Central, reconciliation requires manually matching bank statement entries to ERP records across every payment method and account.
How Paystand Solves These Problems
Paystand provides a purpose-built embedded payment platform for Dynamics 365 Business Central — enabling finance teams to execute, reconcile, and report on AR and AP payments natively within Business Central workflows.
On the Paystand network, payments carry zero transaction fees. Reconciliation is automatic. Month-end close effort is dramatically reduced.
Business Central customers using Paystand consistently see: reduced DSO, lower payment processing costs, and faster close cycles.
