Frequently asked questions
Alternative Payments covers accounts receivable, accounts payable, and analytics in one subscription. If you want to manage vendor payments and get financial visibility across your entire operation in the same place you collect client payments, Alternative Payments is the broader platform. Alternative Payments also offers financing through approved partners.
Alternative Payments uses flat subscription pricing with free ACH and no processing caps. FlexPoint plans include monthly processing caps ranging from $50,000 to unlimited depending on the tier.

Alternative Payments operates on standard T+3 payout timing, with T+1 and T+2 options available for faster access to funds.
