Which payment methods are available for B2B customers?
In short and in plain language
Firms mostly pay by invoice. Direct debit, payment in advance and card are also possible.
You decide who may use which way to pay. If you wish, the shop can check first if a buyer is able to pay.
B2B customers expect different payment methods than consumers. The focus is on purchase on invoice with configurable payment terms, complemented by SEPA direct debit, prepayment and credit card. Which options a customer is offered can be controlled per customer group or individual, for example invoice purchase only above a certain trust status.
For protection, credit checks via interfaces to business credit agencies can be integrated. For existing customers with framework agreements, automatic invoicing is common, and partial deliveries with proportional invoicing are also supported.
Connecting payment and credit-check services falls under Integrations. Which setup suits your receivables management, we discuss on request.
