Real-Time Invoice & Payment Visibility
Vendors access open and paid invoices, payment due dates, and remittance details anytime—dramatically reducing "where's my payment?" inquiries.
Automated Profile Requests
Centime automatically requests payment details and follows up at 5 and 10 days. AP teams can trigger reminders with one click or share the portal URL directly.
Native ERP Integration
Fully embedded in NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and QuickBooks with real-time sync—payment details flow directly to your GL without export/import hassles.
Enhanced Payment Security
Consolidate vendor communications in a secure portal, minimizing exposure to payment fraud and business email compromise (BEC) attacks.
Fast Implementation

Self-Service Payment Profile Management
Let vendors manage their own payment details—accurately and securely.
Centime's Supplier Portal allows vendors to update their payment preferences directly—ACH bank account details, check mailing addresses, or credit card acceptance. When suppliers submit updates, AP teams can review and approve changes within Centime, or configure global auto-acceptance rules for each payment method to eliminate manual intervention entirely.
Real-Time Invoice & Payment Tracking
Give vendors instant visibility into every invoice and payment.
Suppliers log in anytime to track open invoices, scheduled payments, completed payments, and full remittance details. This transparency eliminates the back-and-forth emails and phone calls that consume AP team time—letting your staff focus on strategic work instead of answering status inquiries.
Automated Payment Profile Requests
Convert more vendors to electronic payments without manual chasing.
Centime automatically reaches out to vendors to collect and verify payment details. If suppliers don't respond, the system sends follow-up reminders at 5 and 10 days. AP teams can trigger additional reminders with one click, copy the supplier portal link to share via other channels, or modify the email address anytime.
Flexible Access Options
Share the portal your way—automated or manual.
The Supplier Portal URL is visible directly from the Supplier Profile, making it easy to share outside of Centime's automated emails. When contacts are added to the Supplier Profile, they automatically gain portal access. This flexibility supports use cases like internal expense reimbursements, where employees can upload their own payment details through the Supplier Portal.
Virtual Card Information Access
Streamline virtual card payments for enrolled suppliers.
Suppliers enrolled in Centime's virtual card program can access their card information directly through the portal—viewing card numbers, expiration dates, and payment amounts without waiting for AP team assistance. This self-service capability accelerates payment processing and reduces friction for card-accepting vendors.
Complete Audit Trail
Track every action, every change, every interaction.
The Supplier Portal maintains a full audit trail of all profile modifications, payment detail updates, and portal activity. AP teams can view exactly who made changes and when—supporting compliance requirements and simplifying reconciliation during audits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a supplier portal, and how does it benefit my business?
A supplier portal is a self-service platform that gives vendors direct access to their invoice status, payments, and communication history in real time—reducing back-and-forth emails and calls. Instead of relying on AP teams for updates, suppliers can track invoices, update payment preferences, and securely manage their information in one place. Centime's Supplier Portal improves transparency, strengthens vendor relationships, and enhances payment security, ensuring smoother, more efficient AP operations.
How does Centime's Supplier Portal improve vendor communication and payment tracking?
Centime's Supplier Portal gives vendors direct access to their invoices, payment status, and communication history—reducing the need for back-and-forth emails and calls. Suppliers can update their payment details for ACH, checks, or credit cards, ensuring accuracy and faster electronic payments. AP teams can request, review, and approve payment profile updates within Centime, with automated reminders sent to vendors who haven't completed their details. This ensures better visibility, fewer payment delays, and stronger vendor relationships through a centralized, self-service platform.
Can suppliers update their payment preferences and contact information through the portal?
Yes, suppliers can update their payment preferences (ACH, check, or credit card) and contact details directly through Centime's Supplier Portal. AP teams can request updates, and Centime automatically follows up if suppliers don't respond after 5 and 10 days. Once submitted, businesses can review, approve, or auto-accept the updates, ensuring payments are sent to the correct account without manual intervention.
Is it possible for suppliers to view the status of their invoices and payments in real-time?
Yes, Centime's Supplier Portal provides real-time visibility into invoice and payment status. Suppliers can log in anytime to track open invoices, payment due dates, and completed payments, reducing the need for follow-up emails or calls. This transparency helps prevent payment disputes, strengthens vendor relationships, and ensures smooth AP workflows.
How do I share the Supplier Portal with my vendors?
The Supplier Portal URL is visible directly from the Supplier Profile within Centime. You can copy this link and share it via email, your vendor communication platform, or any other channel. Additionally, when you add contacts to a Supplier Profile, they automatically receive portal access. You can also use Centime's automated email system to request payment profiles, which includes the portal link.
Can Centime users access the Supplier Portal?
Yes. When added as a contact to a Supplier Profile, Centime users can access the Supplier Portal. This supports use cases like expense reimbursements, where employees need to upload their own payment details, or when AP team members need to make payments on behalf of suppliers.
What security measures protect supplier payment data?
Centime is SOC 2 certified, meeting strict criteria for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using bank-level encryption standards. By centralizing vendor communications in a secure portal rather than through fragmented email chains, Centime significantly reduces exposure to payment fraud and business email compromise (BEC) attacks.
How does Centime integrate with my ERP?
Centime is fully embedded in NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and QuickBooks—not bolted on. Supplier payment profiles sync to your ERP in real time, maintaining data consistency and eliminating manual export/import processes. Updates made in the Supplier Portal flow directly to your accounting system.
How long does implementation take?
Centime customers typically go live in 7–21 days with dedicated onboarding specialists. Unlike legacy AP tools that require 60-90+ days of configuration, Centime's ERP-embedded architecture enables fast deployment without complex integrations.
