How does Paystand achieve a 'zero-fee' model for B2B payments, unlike traditional processors?
Paystand utilizes its proprietary blockchain-powered network to process B2B payments. This infrastructure removes intermediaries that typically charge per transaction, allowing businesses to eliminate processing fees and keep more of their revenue. The blockchain ensures secure, tamper-proof transactions without the traditional costs associated with payment gateways and networks.
What specific benefits does the enterprise blockchain technology provide for financial operations beyond just fee reduction?
Beyond fee reduction, Paystand's enterprise blockchain technology provides immutable transaction records, creating a tamper-proof audit trail for every payment. This enhances security, minimizes fraud risks, and provides real-time verification, making audits and financial reporting more reliable. It also enables smart contract-enabled payment workflows for automated AR lifecycles and offers cross-border transaction capabilities with near-zero latency.
Can Paystand's API be used to build custom payment experiences for customers, such as branded checkouts or unique payment schedules?
Yes, Paystand offers powerful, open APIs that allow developers to customize B2B payment workflows. This includes building branded checkout experiences, automating payouts, enabling scheduled or recurring payment options, and securely moving funds through the Paystand Network. The API supports integration with ERPs, CRMs, or custom platforms to streamline billing, collections, and reconciliation.
How does Paystand's 'Assurety' feature contribute to data integrity and audit readiness for financial teams?
Assurety is a built-in feature that stores data on a permanent virtual ledger with a full audit history. This blockchain-based ledger ensures end-to-end data integrity by creating immutable transaction records. This means every payment is verifiable, traceable, and secure, providing finance teams with a new level of assurance for audits and financial reporting, eliminating the need to manually verify records.
What is the typical impact on Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) for businesses implementing Paystand's AR automation?
Businesses using Paystand's AR automation typically experience a significant reduction in Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), with some seeing cuts by as much as 40%. This is achieved through accelerated collections, instant access to funds with same-day availability, and real-time reconciliation, which eliminates manual cash application delays.
