Payment processing for plastics suppliers and resin distributors

The best fit is the one that matches how you invoice. RapidCents carries PO and release references on each payment and supports invoice payment links, phone-order entry in the Virtual Terminal, stored cards with the buyer's authorization, bank payments for large balances and refunds tied to the original payment. Pricing is interchange-plus, month to month, and settlement reports feed your accounting records. Compare any written quote on those same points.

It depends on your card mix, invoice size and channels, so no single figure applies. Pricing is interchange-plus, meaning interchange at cost, your RapidCents markup as set out in your Fee Schedule, and equipment or service fees if applicable. It is month to month with no fixed term. Fee Check reads a statement and separates interchange from markup.

Often yes. A payment link can sit outside NetSuite, RapidBridge works with Oracle NetSuite, and settlement import templates carry settled transactions, fees and refunds. Tell your RapidCents representative which NetSuite edition you run and whether it requires a gateway, and they will show you how the PO number and release reference reach each invoice.

Export your payment history first, then list stored cards, open invoices, held deposits and blanket orders. Token portability between processors is never assumed, because both providers must agree, so you may need fresh buyer authorizations. Test a sale, a refund and a deposit, run both setups in parallel where needed, and reconcile the first deposits to your ledger.

A plastics supplier can typically offer major card brands, payment links for invoices and bank payments. The methods you use, and the currency you settle in, depend on the country of your merchant account. Your RapidCents representative will walk you through the options during onboarding, and PO and release references on every payment let finance reconcile.

Keep the accepted specification and the PO with the payment reference. Issue the deposit request as a Payment Link or invoice that carries the grade, quote number and PO number, so the receipt names the order. If the specification changes, issue a revised quote and adjust the deposit, with the buyer's written agreement kept on file.

Yes. Use a separate invoice for each release, with a release identifier and the blanket PO number, and collect payment against that invoice. Your finance lead can then reconcile payment records and stock records release by release. Partial payments are fine when documented, but never split a single charge to avoid a card limit.

Agree the return and the remedy first, then reconcile it to the original payment and invoice. Record the lot number and reason, get the buyer's written sign-off, and choose a replacement, a credit note or a refund. A refund goes back to the original payment method, while a credit note reduces what the buyer owes. Your RapidCents representative can show you which fits your setup.

Put the PO number and release reference in the invoice or payment link reference field before you send it. The receipt and the settlement reports then carry that reference, so finance can match each payment to the right order. Your RapidCents representative will show you how those reference fields reach your accounting or ERP records.

Send the invoice as a Payment Link, or enter the card in the Virtual Terminal for a phone order, with the buyer's authorization. Large invoices may suit a bank payment instead, so compare the costs. Enhanced commercial-card data is useful where it applies to your setup, and it does not change the agreed terms.
