AR/AP Automation, explained.
When every invoice and bill is entered by hand, mistakes and late payments follow. AR/AP automation connects your billing and payment tools to the books so the work happens with fewer manual steps.
Invoices and bills sync into QuickBooks or Xero, approval steps are set up for bills, and customer and vendor payments match to the right invoice and bill.
The setup uses tools such as BILL, Stripe and PayPal together with your accounting software.
