Inviting A Vendor To Pay Electronically

When a vendor is invited to be paid electronically, the invitation email will include a link that can be used only by the vendor to connect their My Aplos account to the organization. From there, they can set up their bank configuration to successfully accept electronic payments made by your organization.

If you need to resend the invitation, you can select the Actions menu and click “Resend Invite to Pay Electronically.” This will send another email to the email on file for the vendor to connect their My Aplos account.
