An approved invoice shouldn’t have to start over at payment
Stampli Direct Pay carries approved invoice context into payment and reconciles every transaction to the ERP.
Everything finance needs between
“approved” and “reconciled"
Pay by the method that fits
Use ACH, paper check, virtual card, or supported international payment methods without leaving the connected workflow.
Validate before funds move
Check ERP status, vendor readiness, and required controls before a payment is released.
Keep invoice and payment
approvals distinct
Configurable payment approvals preserve segregation of duties without repeating the invoice review process.
Track the payment—not just the submission
Approvals, payment events, remittance details, and status changes stay attached to the transaction.
Reconcile one-to-one
Automatic ERP sync preserves a direct relationship between the payment, bank transaction, and ERP record.
Different ways to spend. One finance-ready workflow.
Faster payments made work easier on both sides
The Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce replaced slow, sometimes lost checks with Direct Pay and Stampli Card—improving vendor payment reliability and reducing manual reconciliation.
“Our vendors appreciate getting their money quicker and on time, and they don’t have to deal with the manual stuff, like depositing checks.”

FAQ
What is Stampli Payments?
Stampli Payments is the module where finance manages approved vendor payments using Direct Pay. It connects payment approval, supported payment methods, vendor readiness, ERP validation, status, remittance context, and reconciliation to the invoice and vendor record.
What is the difference between Payments and Direct Pay?
Payments is the navigation label, page category, and SEO-focused H1. Direct Pay is the Stampli offering described within the page, so the copy should say that buyers use Direct Pay within Stampli Payments rather than treating the two names as separate products.
Which payment methods does Stampli support?
Stampli supports approved vendor payments through methods such as ACH, paper check, virtual card, and international payments, subject to product availability and configuration. The page should route detailed method questions to the appropriate child or supporting page.
How does Stampli support payment approvals and segregation of duties?
Payment approval rules can be configured separately from invoice approval when policy requires distinct responsibilities. The payment record should show the approvals and status required before funds are released.
How do Payments work with the ERP?
Stampli uses ERP status and accounting context to support pre-payment review and validation. Payment results can synchronize back to the ERP through the configured integration while the ERP remains the system of record.
How does Stampli help verify vendor readiness before payment?
The payment workflow can surface missing vendor information, incomplete records, or configured compliance issues for review before release. Finance remains responsible for resolving exceptions and authorizing the payment.
How does reconciliation work in Stampli Payments?
Stampli connects payment status and transaction context to the invoice and ERP record to simplify reconciliation. The page may describe verified one-to-one reconciliation behavior, but final copy should match the exact method, bank, and integration workflow.
Can finance manage domestic and international vendor payments in one workflow?
Stampli supports domestic and international payment paths within the broader Payments module. Available currencies, countries, methods, timing, fees, and controls vary, so buyers should be directed to the relevant product details instead of receiving universal promises.
