What is the Accounts Payable add-on?

  • Updated

The Accounts Payable Plus add-on is designed for businesses working with multiple suppliers who have more complex requirements for their invoice management.

If your business needs to process more than 10 supplier invoices per month, setup connections to an ERP, or assign invoice and budget approval capabilities to managers or senior leaders then the add-on is a good fit for you.

Until June 30th the add-on has a special price of €35/month on monthly billing, and €29/month on annual billing.

Optimize supplier payment processes by integrating your ERP to execute payments directly from your accounting system, delegating safely with custom approval workflows and 4-eyes policy on payments, and keeping spend on plan with team budgets.

What features are included in my Qonto plan vs. the add-on?

All Qonto plans include basic accounts payable features such as uploading and paying supplier invoices, reconciling documents to transactions, and exporting information for reporting and bookkeeping. The add-on provides six additional features:

  1. Multi-level customizable approval workflows on supplier payments, transfers and reimbursement requests
  2. 4-eyes dual approval policy on payments (supplier invoices, transfers, reimbursements)
  3. Advanced Manager Role permissions
  4. Payment initiation via unlimited ERP integrations (EBICS/DATEV)
  5. Team Budget Management for real-time tracking and oversight

What are the main benefits of using the Accounts Payable Plus add-on?

How can I manage my add-ons?

You can manage your add-ons from both the web and mobile app. On web, go to Settings > Billing and invoices (under Organizations) and click on the desired add-on. On mobile, access Menu > Settings > Price plan (under Organization) and select your add-on.

What happens if I remove the add-on?

No worries! You will keep access to all standard features. Your recurring invoices will pause, and customizations will return to standard format. While you can remove the add-on anytime with monthly billing, annual billing features remain active until the end of your billing period, with no mid-term reimbursement.
