How Automated Credit Card Payments Simplify Invoicing for Distributors
Food and beverage distributors handle dozens of invoices every week. Unfortunately, chasing payments and processing them manually takes hours away from core business activities. This is where automated credit card payment solutions make a real difference by handling the entire process from start to finish.
- Accurate and Hassle-Free Payments
When you enable automatic credit card payments, your invoicing becomes instant and accurate. As a result, cash flow improves because payments arrive on schedule. At the same time, the administrative work of tracking customer accounts drops significantly.
- Seamless Credit Card Payment Integration
Automated credit card payment integration takes this further by generating and sending invoices automatically at set intervals. Once customers receive their invoice, they simply click the “Pay Now” button to settle immediately. Alternatively, they can choose credit card auto payment to handle all future transactions without manual intervention. Better yet, the system allocates each payment to the correct invoice in real time. This means your records stay accurate with zero manual reconciliation.
- Make Your Business Operations Smooth
Beyond just saving time, this automation transforms how your business operates. Instead of collecting overdue payments, your team can focus on growing the business. In fact, distributors using this system regularly save several hours per week on billing tasks. Additionally, customer relationships strengthen because the payment experience runs smoothly and professionally.
- Scalable for Every Distributor
The system works equally well for any size operation. Whether you run small local routes or nationwide networks, invoice automation software like EasyVend eliminates manual billing headaches completely. The platform handles reminders and follow-ups automatically so you never have to chase payments again.
Seamless Credit Card Payment Integration at Low Transaction Costs
Distribution margins are tight, which means every cost matters. Unfortunately, traditional credit card processing includes hidden fees and requires staff time to manage payments manually. In contrast, EasyVend’s automated payment solutions process automatic invoice payments for a flat 1.5% plus 30 cents per transaction.
Even better, distributors can pass this fee to customers as a surcharge. This approach makes the entire process cost-neutral. Furthermore, the credit card payment integration has no setup fees and no monthly subscriptions. Instead, you get a direct way to accept payments while maintaining a steady cash flow.
Because the system manages everything from invoice creation to payment receipts without human input, late payments become rare. Records match perfectly every time as well. Ultimately, this approach is faster and more secure than phone payments or manual card entry while keeping operations lean and efficient.
COVID is forcing us all to move to more efficient ways of doing business. The biggest challenge facing food and beverage vendors and distributors in 2021 is debtors.
EasyVend has released an automatic credit card payment solution for B2B Food and Beverage distributors that automates everything from invoicing to receipting.
This new feature is the perfect way to instantly remove debt, maximise growth and save hours of time every week.
The EasyVend Automatic credit card payment solution provides vendors and distributors with:
- One touch Pay Now button that enables instant credit and debit card payments
- Automatic payments for repeat billing customers – like how utility companies do it
- Automatic allocation of payments to specific invoices with complete accuracy
- Customer invoices are generated and sent automatically at the correct interval
- Your whole process is automated
Once you set up the payment feature in EasyVend, the system will automatically handle your entire payment and receipting process for you. You never have to ask for money again.
Many Distributors are currently paying around 1% or more for existing credit card transactions plus the expensive wage cost for someone to chase money, allocate and chase again.
The automatic payment solution will cost distributors 1.5% plus 30 cents per transaction. If you want to, you can even add this as a surcharge onto your invoices – to save even more money.
Such is the recent shift to automatic payments, we are seeing many Australian Distributors refuse new customers unless they setup automated payment methods. It’s very accepted today, in fact its far safer than people giving credit card numbers over the phone.
It’s never been easier for you to add our automated payment feature to your EasyVend system, no set up costs and no monthly subscription fees!

“I recently switched my credit card payments from a third-party provider to the linked system within EasyVend. I can now process credit card payments with a single click within EasyVend, which is saving me a stack of time plus I have the option of setting up automatic payments which will eliminate me having to process the payments manually all together. The transaction rates are also very competitive. Highly recommend this system.”
