Awards

Xero Global Small Business App of the Year 2025 and NZ Small Business App of the Year 2026

Runs on

Xero, QuickBooks Online, Stripe, Pinch Payments, CloudDepot, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zapier. Newer ledgers such as Rillet, Campfire, Digits, DualEntry, Puzzle, Accounting Seed and Odoo on every plan through the closed testing program. NetSuite, Sage Intacct, MYOB, Sage Accounting and Dynamics 365 Business Central on the Custom plan only

Late fees and interest

Yes. Two charge types on the same customer group, an invoice late fee and a statement interest charge against the whole overdue balance, both raised on the ledger as Draft or Approved. Compounding is on by default. Multiple policies run at once because policies sit under customer groups

Does best

A separate late fee policy per trade group, so a buying group, a national account and a disputed-accounts group each run a different rule at the same time

What Paidnice adds to Xero or QuickBooks Online is the charging rather than the invoicing. Reminder sequences, statement schedules, installment plans and a payer portal all hang off customer groups, and the late fee policy hangs off the same group, so the rule governing a buying group is set once and then runs.

Email and SMS leave from your own authenticated domain, which matters when the reader is an accounts payable clerk paying two hundred suppliers and sorting the inbox by sender.

Two mechanics earn their place on a trade ledger specifically. Consolidated parent and child statements settle the way a buying group settles, one head office account rather than forty branch invoices arriving separately.

And the Adjust for Credit setting computes the charge on the balance after credits, so the credit note raised for a short shipment shrinks the fee instead of leaving a controller to explain on the phone why it did not.

Statement interest is recalculated at the moment the statement leaves rather than at the last policy run, so the figure the buyer opens is the figure that morning.

An invoice reference filter lifts one disputed line out of a policy without moving the account or switching the policy off, which is the working state of any distributor with returns in flight.

Limitations with Paidnice. Xero and QuickBooks Online are on every plan. Newer ledgers such as Rillet, Campfire, Digits, DualEntry, Puzzle, Accounting Seed and Odoo are available on every plan through Paidnice's closed testing program. NetSuite, Sage Intacct, MYOB, Sage Accounting and Dynamics 365 Business Central connect on the Custom plan, and other ERPs, SAP Business One among them, connect as a Custom-plan build.

Essentials stops at 150 invoices and two team members, a ceiling a busy trade ledger clears inside a month.

2. ezyCollect, best for ANZ trade credit screening

Best for: Australian and New Zealand distributors that screen trade credit before granting terms.

What is ezyCollect best for?

For an Australian or New Zealand wholesaler on MYOB, Pronto Xi or SAP Business One that wants a risk score on a buyer, then chasing, demand letters and collections referral in the same platform.

Late fees and interest

None found. No late fee or interest function appears in the help center or the relaunch materials; card surcharging is the only charge mechanic documented

Does best

Credit Insights: a risk score on a trade buyer built from your own aged trial balance and terms plus Experian external data, grouped into risk bands. Credit Insights is a premium add-on at extra cost

Customers

Named on its website: Martec, Sheffield Group and CW Systems. Martec's case study reports overdue accounts cut from 27% to 5%.

ezyCollect works the customer rather than the invoice, which is the correct shape when one buyer holds forty open lines against a single accounts payable inbox. Statements go out monthly, installments split by subscription, fixed amount or fixed count, and the SimplyPaid portal takes card and direct debit.

Its integration list is the deepest here for Australian and New Zealand distribution, reaching MYOB Exo, Acumatica, Pronto Xi and Attaché as well as Xero.

The escalation ladder also stays inside the platform, through demand letters and referral to a collections partner, so an account that stops moving does not have to leave the tool to get harder treatment.

Limitations with ezyCollect. Nothing in the help center or the relaunch materials documents a late fee or an interest calculation, so charging for the wait is a person's job. Installments exist as a paid add-on, so check the add-on price before you plan arrangements on trade accounts.

As last published, the entry tier adds setup from A$900, holds you to 200 debtors and one workflow, and costs 20 percent more billed monthly than annually. A buyer that runs past the end of a workflow stops being followed up, which a long tail of trade accounts will do.

Mail, SMS and fax are metered, demand letters are charged one at a time, and a referred account runs at commission from 25 percent of what is recovered. Reviewers report quotes well above the advertised tier.

3. Chaser, best for bureau checks and letters

Best for: Distributors that want credit checking and letters in the same tool, up to £4m on the entry tier.

What is Chaser best for?

For a distribution finance team with a named credit controller that wants Creditsafe credit checks, email, SMS and posted letters running from one system.

Fits

Businesses with a named credit controller; Compact is priced for revenue under £4m, and the tiers run to £100m

Runs on

Late fees and interest

Yes. Four calculation types including a Bank of England base rate type, recalculated daily, but one set of late-fee rules, across the account or for selected debtors, not tied to schedules, with no documented way to run different rules per group. No fee is raised on payment-plan invoices, and Chaser's help says a late fee cannot be added or updated after a part payment when written to Xero

Does best

Creditsafe credit checking and monitoring in the same tool as email, SMS and letter chasing

Customers

Named on its website: Gipsy Hill Brewery, Pact Coffee and Minor Figures.

Chaser has traded since 2014 and sends from the team's own Gmail or Outlook mailbox, with SMS, posted letters, a payer portal and partner collections layered on.

The posted letter is worth more in distribution than in most sectors: a buyer that has stopped replying to email will still open an envelope addressed to the registered office, and a warehouse credit controller usually knows exactly which accounts those are.

The in-app credit report comes from Creditsafe, carrying a score, a recommended limit, the buyer's payment score, credit event history, and Companies House filing and director data, with monitoring alongside, which covers the UK, USA and Canada but not Australia. Chaser credit checks need Chaser billing, not Xero App Store billing, and are sold by credit on any plan.

For a distributor the recommended limit is the only figure on that report that changes a decision, because it is the one that says how much stock goes out on terms.

Limitations with Chaser. One set of late-fee rules, across the account or for selected debtors, not tied to schedules, with no documented way to run different rules per group, so the buying group and the cash-terms account are charged the same way if both are covered. No fee is raised on a payment-plan invoice, and Chaser's help says a late fee cannot be added or updated after a part payment when written to Xero.

Installments split weekly through to yearly, but the chasing follows the original due date rather than the installment dates, and Chaser's own documentation says to chase the installments manually. Statements are monthly, on a fixed day. Compact holds the team to four.

Letters, SMS, calls and credit checks all draw metered credits above the plan allowance. And the entry price is tiered on company turnover rather than invoice volume, the wrong metric for a high-revenue, thin-margin wholesaler.

4. Quadient AR, best for remittance matching

Best for: Distribution groups that need cash application at remittance volume, quote only.

What is Quadient AR best for?

For a distribution group on NetSuite, Sage Intacct or SAP where the bottleneck is matching remittances to hundreds of open invoices rather than sending reminders.

Fits

Upper mid-market and enterprise distributors. No revenue band published

Regions

Sold globally as the accounts receivable pillar of Quadient's digital suite; formerly YayPay, founded 2015 in New York and acquired by Quadient in July 2020

Entry cost

Not published. Quadient quotes by demand. Capterra lists a starting price of $500 per feature per month, and third-party estimates last seen put implementation from $5,000. None of those figures are vendor-published.

Late fees and interest

None found. No native late fee or interest module appears in the help documentation

Does best

Cash application, with remittance association and auto-allocation, plus machine-learning payment date predictions running at 83 to 94 percent accuracy

Quadient AR is a rules engine sitting over a distribution ledger. Triggers fire on customer-level events, a balance threshold crossed, a buyer reaching 90 percent of its credit limit, a score change, and on invoice-level events, a partial payment landing in the ERP, a dispute opening, a promise to pay broken.

The credit-limit trigger is the one a distributor buys it for, because it is the event that should stop the next order rather than start the next reminder.

Credit application forms, scorecards and a disputes module sit next to it, and cash application allocates against remittance advice instead of leaving a clerk to match one deposit to eleven invoices. Payment date predictions order the collections list.

Limitations with Quadient AR. No late fee or interest module is documented, so the charge goes back to the ERP. A single invoice cannot be split into installments in the portal, and an arrangement means a support ticket, which is slow when a national account asks to stage a large order.

Sending runs through one shared receivables mailbox, with no per-specialist mailboxes and no distribution lists, so a team that splits the ledger by territory cannot split the sending. Write-back to the ERP covers NetSuite and Sage Intacct only, is off by default, and abandons delivery attempts after seven days.

No price is published at any tier, and reviewers return to payment failures and support response times.

5. Versapay, best for distributors on NetSuite

Best for: North American distributors on NetSuite, Sage Intacct or Dynamics.

No price published

What is Versapay best for?

For a North American distributor that wants trade buyers viewing, disputing and paying invoices in a shared portal instead of by email.

Late fees and interest

Not documented. Nothing the vendor publishes covers late fees, interest or payment plans

Does best

Collaborative accounts receivable: a shared buyer-facing portal where a trade customer views the invoice, raises the dispute and pays, with the conversation attached to the invoice

Customers

Named on its website: TireHub, Wurth Canada and Carter Lumber. Wurth Canada's case study reports time on accounts receivable cut by 75%.

Versapay puts receivables automation and business-to-business payments in the same product, and it keeps a wholesale distribution page alongside manufacturing and professional services.

The portal is the whole argument. A short-shipment dispute that normally consumes three email threads and a phone call instead sits against the invoice, with both sides reading the same record. For a distributor whose deductions and claims are the real reason invoices age, that is the part to evaluate.

Limitations with Versapay. There is no Xero or QuickBooks Online connector at all, which removes it from consideration for any distributor on either ledger.

It publishes no price and the feature inventory is not documented, so two of the five criteria cannot be scored for it. Nothing it publishes describes a late fee, an interest calculation or an installment schedule.
