AP Automation and Payment Execution with Corpay
SutiAP handles capture, validation, matching, and approvals. Corpay handles payment execution. Connected, they give finance teams a single workflow from invoice arrival to vendor payment, with no manual handoff and no re-keying. Every invoice clears with 100% accuracy before it ever generates a payment.
The accuracy problem with most AP tools
Most AP automation vendors tell Corpay customers the same thing: 85 to 90% OCR accuracy. That sounds acceptable until you look at what it means in practice. The accuracy positioning still applies, but with a payment twist: every penny that flows through Corpay was extracted by SutiAP from an invoice. Bad extraction means wrong payment amount means clawback work or vendor complaints. 100% accuracy on invoice data means 100% accuracy on the payment that follows.
SutiAP closes that gap. Our AI-powered invoice capture reads each invoice, and anything below 100% confidence is routed to an expert review team that validates the data and retrains the model. The invoice that posts to Corpay is 100% accurate. Typical turnaround is within six hours.
Corpay is a payment execution platform, not an ERP. The value of this integration is closing the loop between invoice approval in SutiAP and payment execution in Corpay, so once an invoice clears approval, it pays itself.
What the integration does
The SutiAP and Corpay integration connects invoice approval with payment execution. Once an invoice clears SutiAP’s workflow, it routes directly to Corpay for payment via ACH, check, or card, with the remittance details, vendor preferences, and payment timing already configured.
- Approved invoices route directly to Corpay for payment execution, with no manual re-keying.
- Vendor data syncs in both directions, so onboarding a new supplier in SutiAP supplier management updates Corpay without a second entry.
- Two-way and three-way invoice matching against POs and receipts happens before payment, so Corpay only sees clean records.
- Payment status updates flow back from Corpay to SutiAP, keeping payment reconciliation current in both systems.
How it works
The integration runs in five steps. None of them require a person to re-key data.
- Invoice capture. Invoices arrive by email, scan, or upload. SutiTexTrak extracts the data using AI-trained models.
- Accuracy check. Any invoice scoring below 100% confidence routes to our expert review team. They validate the data and update the model so the same vendor reads cleanly next time.
- Approval routing. Policy-driven approval workflows send the invoice to the right approver based on amount, department, or vendor.
- Route to Corpay. Approved invoices route to Corpay for payment execution via ACH, check, or card based on vendor preferences.
- Sync. Payment confirmations and reconciliation data flow back into SutiAP and the GL, so the books stay current automatically.
What syncs between SutiAP and Corpay
- Vendor master data and payment preferences (ACH, check, or card)
- Invoice header data and approved payment amounts
- Payment routing details and remittance information
- Payment confirmations and clearance status
- Reconciliation data flowing back to the GL
- Audit trails covering both approval and payment
Why this integration matters
Most AP workflows break at the handoff between approval and payment. The invoice gets approved in one system, then someone re-keys the payment instruction into another, then chases confirmations across both. SutiAP and Corpay together remove that handoff. Approved invoices route directly to Corpay for execution; payment status flows back to SutiAP and the GL; no one re-keys anything.
The result is a clean invoice-to-payment workflow, fewer exceptions at close, and a measurable drop in cost per invoice. See the AP automation ROI calculator for what that looks like in your environment.
Who benefits from this integration
- Controllers stop reconciling between AP approval and payment execution; the two systems stay in sync automatically.
- AP teams stop the manual handoff of payment instructions and gain visibility into payment status in real time.
- Vendors get faster, more predictable payments through Corpay’s payment rails.
- Treasury get accurate, current cash position because payment execution data flows back immediately.
- Auditors get a full digital trail covering both invoice approval and payment execution.
