How do wholesale and distribution businesses usually get paid?
Distribution runs on repeat orders from business accounts, often on net terms and often paid by check. A slow check from one account is a cash-flow problem multiplied across many.
Some accounts are put on cash-in-advance after paying late, which slows orders down for everyone.
Where do check drafts help?
- Repeat orders from the same accounts, invoiced per order.
- Accounts that pay by check and are often late.
- Releasing an order as soon as payment is approved, instead of waiting for a check.
- Collecting past-due balances from accounts that want to settle today.

From an emailed link, or not at all under a blanket authorization or one you already have on file.

Print the drafts together
Approved drafts wait in your print queue. Print them in one batch on blank check stock.

Deposit and move on
Deposit them at your own bank. Every draft keeps its signed record.
Common questions
Can I draft per invoice for the same customer?
Yes. A blanket authorization set to once per invoice covers each invoice up to the cap, and the customer gets a notice for every draft.
Can I import my customer list?
Yes. Import customers from a CSV or Excel export, including routing and account numbers, which are encrypted as they're saved.
