Expected Outcomes

Measurable results our retail & e-commerce clients achieve with payment collection automation.

14 days faster

Wholesale Collection Speed

Consistent automated reminders and easy payment links reduce the average wholesale payment cycle, improving cash flow and reducing the working capital needed to fund stock purchases.

65% recovered

Failed Payment Recovery

Automated retry logic and customer notification sequences recover a significant portion of failed online payments that would otherwise be lost revenue.

80% reduction

Reconciliation Time

Automated daily reconciliation across POS, ecommerce, and wholesale channels replaces the manual process that previously consumed hours of bookkeeper time.

The Challenge

Common payment collection automation challenges facing retail & e-commerce businesses.

Wholesale customers on 30-day terms regularly pay at 45 to 60 days because there is no systematic follow-up process, and the brand does not want to damage the stockist relationship.

Failed online payments from declined cards and insufficient funds are not retried or followed up, resulting in lost sales from customers who intended to purchase.

Reconciliation across POS, Shopify, and wholesale invoicing takes the bookkeeper hours each week because each channel reports differently.

No real-time visibility into the total receivables position across all channels, making cash flow planning reactive rather than proactive.

Implementation

How we implement payment collection automation for your retail & e-commerce business.

Automate Wholesale Invoice Generation

Wholesale orders trigger automatic invoice generation with customer-specific pricing tiers, volume discounts, and agreed payment terms applied. Retail transactions are captured through your POS and ecommerce platform.

✓ Tools: Make, Shopify, Xero

Chase Wholesale Payment Terms

Wholesale customers on credit terms receive automated statement and payment reminders at defined intervals. Overdue accounts are flagged before the next order is processed.

✓ Tools: Make, Xero, Twilio

Manage Failed Online Payments

Failed subscription payments, declined cards, and incomplete checkout payments are retried automatically with customer notifications. Persistent failures trigger alternative payment method requests.

✓ Tools: Make, Shopify, Stripe

Revenue Reconciliation and Reporting

Daily reconciliation matches payments across POS, ecommerce, and wholesale channels against bank deposits. Weekly revenue reports break down performance by channel, product, and customer segment.

✓ Tools: Make, Xero, Google Sheets
