Invoicing built for speed and business growth
Enhance the way your business buys for work
No matter the size of your business, improving your procurement process is likely a top priority. When it comes to choosing which payment method is right for your business, there are many factors to consider, but benefits, simplicity, and ease of use top the list. When you choose Pay by Invoice, you’ll be well on your way to a much easier end-to-end procurement process.
What is Pay by Invoice and how does it work?
Pay by Invoice provides Amazon Business customers access to millions of suppliers, with the convenience of using a single configurable invoicing solution to purchase. Simply put, if your organisation is eligible, Pay by Invoice will allow your buyers the option to buy now and pay later with payment terms and a purchasing line offered on Amazon Business. Pay by Invoice focuses on providing approved customers options to extend payment terms and tailoring the invoice format and delivery experience to ensure businesses can set up their invoicing account based on their needs.
Curious if your organisation is eligible?
Upon signing up for an Amazon Business account, your account will be assessed for a Pay by Invoice purchasing line. If approved, the account administrator will receive an email detailing the approved line amount, payment terms and instructions on how to set up the new payment method. Once notified, don’t wait—you only have 180 days to activate the purchasing line upon approval. After that, the line will be closed.
Why small-and-medium businesses chose Pay by Invoice
For most small business, you’re challenged to do more with less. That’s why a simplified purchasing process can be a lifesaver when it comes to improving business buying. Beyond streamlining the reconciliation process, there are plenty of reasons to choose Pay by Invoice.
Improve cash flow. Extended payment terms puts time and money back on your side to continue growing your business in today’s hypercompetitive market.

“All too often in our line of work, we try to create solutions for everything… but when it comes to optimising procurement we need to look at solutions that already exist, and in our case it was Amazon Business.”
