Emburse Pay - B2B Payments is an integrated solution that enables teams to easily manage and track the entire invoice approval and payment process. This allows Certify AP customers to save time, lower costs, increase efficiency and enhance the user experience by reducing the need to print and mail physical checks
This document shows you, a Certify AP User, how to enable customers to use B2B Payments to pay Certify AP Invoices.
Please Note: To get started, the Certify AP Administrator contacts their Customer Success Manager (CSM) to begin the implementation process. Once the implementation process is complete, the Administrator can begin configuring B2B Payments for their company in Certify AP.
Enable B2B Payments Company Preference
To pay AP Invoices through B2B Payments, an Administrator must enable the B2B Payments option on their Company Preferences page.
Step 1: Log in as the Certify AP Administrator and click the gear icon.
Step 2: On the Department Configuration page, click on the Company Name on the left-hand side.
Step 3: Open the Company Preferences tab.
Step 4: Scroll down to Invoice Payment Settings and select the B2B Payments option to pay vendors through B2B Payments.
Step 5: In the Emails to Notify field, enter the email address of every employee who should receive email notifications when a payment succeeds or fails to process.

Update Vendor Banking Information
Once B2B Payments is enabled for Certify AP, a user with the Add/Edit Vendors permission needs to update each vendor’s Payment Method and banking information. If the vendor using B2B Payments has missing or incorrect banking information, Invoice Payments to the vendor will fail to process.
Step 1: On your Certify AP account home page, select the Configurations tab.
Step 2: Under the Catalog Management section, select the Manage Vendors tile.
Step 3: The Vendors page opens. Select the name of the vendor that you wish to pay through B2B Payments.

In the Payment Method section, enter the following information in the fields provided:
- Bank Name: Enter the name of the bank your company will use to pay this vendor.
- Address: Enter the vendor’s bank’s street address in this field.
- City: Enter the city in which the vendor’s bank is located in this field.

Please Note: The Bank Address and Account Information are not required for the By Check and Virtual Card options.
Step 5: Check that the vendor’s Phone Number and Notification Email have been entered, then click Save.
The Notification Email is used to send payment notifications to the vendor when the payment is processed.
