Tipalti

Tipalti handles the full AP cycle for mid-sized and scaling businesses. Suppliers self-onboard through a branded portal, submit W-9 or W-8 tax details, and get paid in their preferred method and currency. TIN validation and compliance screening run in the background, which cuts the manual work at year-end when 1099 and 1042-S filings are due.

Invoice processing uses AI to pull out line items, suggest coding, and move documents through multi-way PO matching and approval steps. Payment methods include ACH, wire, local bank transfer, virtual card, and PayPal, reaching more than 200 countries in more than 120 currencies. The Elevate plan adds FX hedging for businesses that want to reduce cross-border exposure.

Tipalti charges by flat monthly subscription, not per user or per approver. The Select plan at $99 per month covers core AP automation for domestic-focused businesses. Advanced at $199 per month adds global payments, W-8 handling, and flexible approval rules. Elevate is custom-quoted for multi-entity and enterprise needs. Transaction fees apply on top of the base subscription depending on payment method. There is no free trial.

Tipalti works with QuickBooks, Oracle NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Microsoft Dynamics. A partner programme is available for ERP consultancies and financial operations providers. Commission details are shared directly by the business development team rather than published publicly.
