Built for how food distributors get paid

One statement and one interest line per route account.

Head office gets one statement covering every drop at every site, with interest charged once on the overdue balance.

  • Sends itself weekly or monthly

When reminders run out or an account breaches its credit limit, Paidnice raises a call task.

  • Payer's record attached

  • Exclude chosen lines, such as delivery fees

How it works for food and beverage suppliers and distributors

How does Paidnice know which invoices to chase?
Every drop invoice a food distributor raises in its ordering platform lands in QuickBooks or Xero, and Paidnice reads the ledger, so it sees each invoice, due date and payment the moment it lands. You set the policy once and it applies to new invoices automatically. When a customer pays, the chasing stops on its own.
Does it work with Cin7 Core, Unleashed, or Katana?
Yes, food distributors running Cin7 Core, Unleashed, Katana or FoodStorm keep them exactly as they are. Those platforms push sales invoices into QuickBooks or Xero, and Paidnice picks them up from the ledger. It never touches your orders, stock or pricing.
Can a food distributor charge late fees on trade accounts?
Yes, a US food distributor can charge late fees or interest on overdue trade accounts when the credit application and invoice terms state the rate. Paidnice applies the policy you choose: a monthly percentage on each invoice, or one interest line on the overdue statement balance. It cannot tell you what rate is lawful in your state, so check your terms and ask an advisor.
How does it handle a restaurant group with several locations?
Head office gets one statement covering every drop at every site, because a food distributor links each location to one parent account. One interest line sits on the whole overdue balance. The accounts payable person approves a single document, and the group pays the lot through one payment page.
What happens when a customer disputes one drop invoice?
At a food distributor, a short, a return or a damaged case stalls one invoice. Pull the disputed invoice out of the policy by its reference and the rest of the account keeps its normal schedule. No reminders or interest touch that invoice until you put it back. Credit notes in QuickBooks or Xero reduce the balance automatically.
What does Paidnice cost for food and beverage suppliers and distributors?
Food and beverage suppliers and distributors pay from US$69, £49 or A$99 a month on Essentials, priced by invoice volume, not revenue. No contracts, and your first 20 actions are free.

Stop rolling the truck to accounts that owe you 60 days.
