PaymentsBilling

AR platform automating invoice delivery, B2B payments, cash application, and credit decisioning.

Updated July 2026 billtrust.com

Overview

Billtrust is an order-to-cash platform focused on the receivables side of B2B finance. It automates invoice presentment across channels (email, portals, print, AP-network integrations), accepts payments, applies cash to open invoices with machine learning, and supports credit decisioning on new and existing customers. Typical buyers are finance and AR teams at distributors, manufacturers, and B2B services companies with high invoice volume. In the revenue stack it sits after billing, turning issued invoices into collected, reconciled cash.

Collector workflow

Do collectors get prioritized worklists with promises and disputes tracked?

Can customers see, dispute, and pay invoices self-serve?

2 · Strong Invoicing and payment portals including AP-portal delivery.
AR analytics & cash forecasting

What makes it different

Billtrust is one of the few AR vendors that treats invoice delivery itself as a hard problem, with connections into the AP portals and payment networks buyers actually use. Its Business Payments Network bridges supplier AR systems and buyer AP systems so remittance data travels with the payment, which is what makes automated cash application work.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of company gets the most value from Billtrust?

B2B companies with high invoice volume and fragmented payment channels — buyers paying by check, ACH, card, and AP portals all at once. If your customers all pay by card on a self-serve portal, a full AR suite like this is more than you need.

Does Billtrust replace my billing system?

No. Billtrust starts where billing ends: it takes invoices your ERP or billing platform generates and handles delivery, payment acceptance, cash application, and collections. It complements rather than replaces rating and invoicing engines.
