What makes Direct Pay different?
Audit-ready control before funds move
Pre-payment ERP checks, safety guardrails, and approval controls enforce policy before payment release instead of relying on cleanup after the fact.
1-to-1 reconciliation built in
One payment creates one bank transaction and one ERP record, giving finance cleaner reconciliation, clearer visibility, and fewer manual adjustments.
International payment control without extra complexity
Manage cross-border payments with local currency support, FX rate visibility, and built-in compliance screening – all inside the same controlled workflow as domestic payments.
Stampli Direct Pay capabilities
Domestic payments
Support ACH, paper check, virtual card, and other payment methods through one approval and execution framework. Payment activity, remittance details, and audit history stay attached to the transaction.
International payments
Pay vendors across countries in USD or local currency with FX targeting and execution controls built into the same payment workflow.
Card payments
Use virtual card payments as part of the same vendor payment system, preserving approval discipline, visibility, and reconciliation consistency across methods.
Key features of Stampli Payments
Multiple payment methods: ACH, check, virtual card, international
Give finance one system for domestic and international vendor payments without forcing separate workflows for each payment method.
Pre-payment ERP validation and safety checks
Verify ERP status, vendor readiness, and required controls before payment release so funds do not move on incomplete or non-compliant records.
Segregation of duties between invoice and payment approval
Enforce distinct approval responsibilities across invoice and payment workflows to strengthen governance and reduce payment risk.
FX optimization for international payments
Set FX targets and execute international payments with better control over rates, timing, and cross-border payment workflows.
1-to-1 reconciliation with automatic ERP sync
Preserve a direct relationship between the payment, the bank transaction, and the ERP record so reconciliation is faster and easier to audit.
Payment audit trail
Keep every approval, payment event, remittance detail, and status change in one record for stronger audit-ready accuracy and cleaner traceability.
Vendor readiness controls
Block or reroute payments automatically when vendor details are incomplete or compliance documentation is expired or missing.
Prepayments
Support approved prepayment workflows within the same controlled payment environment instead of handling them outside the system.

Avid Acceptance
“We send invoices to the approvers across all departments the same day the invoices come in, which is at least four times faster than before. And, we’ve reduced our invoice lifecycle by 2X because now we’re processing and paying invoices the same week we receive them.”

FAQ
Can I see all invoice details before paying?
Yes. Payments operate in the same connected environment as AP, so finance can review invoice context, approval status, and supporting details before funds move.
How does Stampli support payment approvals?
Stampli supports configurable payment approval rules and segregation of duties so payment release stays aligned to policy and independent from invoice approval when required.
Am I required to use one payment method?
No. Stampli supports multiple payment methods, including ACH, check, virtual card, and international payments, while keeping the same controls across every method.
How do Payments work with my ERP?
Stampli validates against ERP status before payment release and automatically synchronizes payment data back to the ERP so execution and reconciliation stay aligned to the system of record.
How does Stampli help mitigate payment risk?
Stampli applies pre-payment safety checks, vendor validation guardrails, approval controls, and audit-ready traceability to reduce the risk of releasing funds on incomplete, non-compliant, or unapproved transactions.
How do Payments contribute to faster processing and smarter spending?
Faster processing comes from removing bank-portal switching, manual reconciliation, and fragmented execution steps. Smarter spending comes from keeping payment timing, approval discipline, vendor readiness, and payment method decisions visible and controlled before funds move.
