What Tipalti does
Tipalti is a finance automation platform built around accounts payable. It uses AI to capture incoming supplier invoices, assign the right accounting codes, and flag duplicate or potentially fraudulent bills before they get paid. The goal is to remove the manual steps that slow down a typical AP team — data entry, chasing approvals, and reconciling payments after the fact.
On the payments side, Tipalti handles outbound transfers to suppliers across more than 200 countries and territories in 120 currencies through more than 50 payment methods. It also manages supplier onboarding through a self-service portal, collects and validates tax forms, and syncs payment data back to your accounting system or ERP automatically.
The platform connects to a range of common accounting and ERP systems including NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics, and Coupa. Implementation is estimated at four to eight weeks, and pricing starts at $99 per month for Accounts Payable ($249 for Mass Payments), with transaction fees added on top of the base subscription.
Key capabilities
AI Invoice Capture and Coding
Tipalti uses AI to read incoming supplier invoices and assign accounting codes, reducing manual data entry. It also checks for duplicate bills and flags items that look potentially fraudulent.
Global Supplier Payments
The platform sends payments to suppliers in over 200 countries and territories across 120 currencies using more than 50 payment methods. Multi-entity operations can be managed from a single system.
Supplier Self-Service Onboarding
Suppliers register and submit their own details — including tax forms — through a self-service portal that supports multiple languages. This shifts data collection work away from your internal team.
Tax Form Validation and Compliance
Tipalti captures supplier tax information and validates it automatically at the point of onboarding. The platform includes a built-in tax engine described as KPMG-approved for mass payments compliance.
ERP and Accounting Integration
Pre-built connections are available for NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics, and Coupa. Payment reconciliation data syncs back to your ERP automatically.
Purchase Order Matching
Tipalti supports two-way and three-way PO matching to verify that invoices align with purchase orders and receipts before payment is approved.
Best for
- Finance teams that process a high volume of supplier invoices and want to reduce manual data entry and approval chasing
- Businesses that pay vendors or partners across multiple countries and need to manage currencies, tax compliance, and payment methods in one place
- Companies running on NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics, or Coupa that want AP data to flow into their existing ERP automatically
- Organizations with multi-entity structures that need consolidated visibility over payables across business units
- Teams spending significant time on supplier onboarding and tax form collection who want to hand that process to a self-service portal
Worth knowing
- Pricing has two components — a monthly platform fee starting at $99 and per-payment transaction fees on top. Actual monthly cost depends on payment volume, so model both parts before comparing against alternatives.
- The enterprise-tier pricing (Elevate) is custom and requires a conversation with sales, which makes upfront cost comparison harder at that level.
- Implementation is estimated at four to eight weeks, which means you should plan for a transition period and internal resource time before the system is fully live.
- If your AP volume is low or you only pay domestic suppliers in one currency, the platform's global payments infrastructure may be more than you need and a simpler solution could be a better fit.
- As with any finance system handling payments and tax data, your team will need to manage the initial supplier migration and ensure your ERP configuration is compatible before go-live.
