Pre-auth with estimated freight protects every shipment

AIMS360 apparel ERP calculates expected shipping from product weights, carton sizes, and carrier rules — then pre-authorizes the all-in total so the warehouse never picks an order the card cannot cover. No more pack → unpack → restock loops.

  • Reserves merch + tax + estimated freight
  • Auto-captures actual amount at shipment
  • Batch pre-auth hundreds of pick tickets
  • Supplemental auth for split shipments
See pre-auth flow

Lower processing fees, automated accounting sync

Card processing rates significantly below QuickBooks Payments, with line-item accurate sync to QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, and NetSuite. Brands typically save hundreds per market week and get paid faster.

One ERP, six ways to get paid — pick the right flow for every order

Wholesale fashion isn't one-size-fits-all. A boutique paying ACH is different from a department store on Net 60, a tradeshow walk-up, or a cross-border buyer in euros. AIMS360 Pay handles every B2B payment scenario apparel brands actually face — without forcing your team to use a different system for each.

Click any payment scenario below to see how it works

Deposit at order, capture at shipment

Best for: large orders, first-time buyers, custom production

Lock in production with a prepayment, then automatically apply the deposit to the final invoice when goods ship. Marketplace deposits from JOOR, NuOrder, FashionGo, Faire, and Shopify B2B sync into AIMS360 apparel ERP the same way — no double entry.

  1. Order entered in AIMS360 apparel ERP

    Sales rep or buyer creates the order in AIMS360 apparel ERP with styles, sizes, quantities. Customer record shows credit limit, AR aging, and saved cards on file.

  2. Deposit collected

    System captures a percentage deposit (e.g. 30%) by card or ACH at order time. Tokenized — no card numbers ever stored in AIMS360.

  3. Production / fulfillment

    Order moves through PLM, WMS, and pick-pack with the deposit on file. Marketplace deposits from JOOR and NuOrder sync in automatically.

  4. Capture balance at ship

    At shipment, AIMS360 apparel ERP captures the remaining balance, applies the deposit to the invoice, and posts everything to QuickBooks or NetSuite line-item accurate.

Real Example A boutique places a $10,000 spring order. AIMS360 collects a 30% deposit ($3,000) at order entry. When the order ships eight weeks later, the system captures the remaining $7,000, applies the deposit, and posts a single clean entry to QuickBooks Online — zero manual reconciliation.

Pre-authorization with estimated freight

Best for: every wholesale order shipping with freight charges

Reserve funds on the buyer's card before goods leave the warehouse — and unlike most B2B payment platforms, AIMS360 includes estimated freight in the hold. The result: warehouses never pack an order they can't bill for, and capture happens automatically at ship.

  1. Order built

    Add styles, sizes, quantities. AIMS360 calculates tax automatically and pulls the buyer's card on file.

  2. Estimated freight calculated

    System uses product weights, carton dimensions, carrier service level, destination, and any surcharges (with optional buffer) to compute expected shipping cost.

  3. Pre-auth all-in total

    Hold = merchandise + tax + estimated freight + processing fees − deposits/credits. Approval code and hold amount save to the order. Buyer gets a confirmation email.

  4. Pick ticket pre-auth (optional layer)

    Run a second pre-auth at pick-ticket creation — or batch pre-auth 80+ pick tickets at once during season launch — so the floor only packs financially cleared orders.

  5. Capture at ship with actual freight

    If actual freight ≤ pre-auth → AIMS360 captures the final amount automatically. If actual > pre-auth → system prompts for supplemental auth or carton adjustment.

Real Example A boutique places a $25,000 seasonal order. AIMS360 apparel ERP estimates $480 freight and $925 tax. You pre-authorize $26,405. At ship, actual freight comes in at $462; AIMS360 captures $26,387 automatically. No rework. No payment surprises.

Click-to-pay invoice links

Best for: net-terms invoices, repeat buyers, distributors

Turn every invoice into an online payment experience. Buyers click, choose card or ACH, and pay — you never have to chase a check. Related deposits and pre-auths reconcile automatically inside the ERP, so AR sees a clean view of every dollar.

  1. Invoice generated in AIMS360 apparel software

    Created automatically in AIMS360 apparel ERP at shipment or manually. Includes itemized detail, taxes, freight, and any deposits/credits already applied.

  2. Secure email sent

    Buyer receives a branded email with a unique secure payment link. No login required to pay.

  3. Buyer pays online

    Click the link → choose credit card, debit, or ACH → enter or select a saved method → confirm. PCI-compliant, tokenized.

  4. Auto-reconciliation

    Payment posts to the invoice, AR aging updates, and the entry syncs to QuickBooks or NetSuite. No manual touch.

Real Example A distributor receives a $7,500 invoice at 2pm. They open the email, click the secure link, and pay by ACH in under a minute. The payment posts to the invoice, AR aging updates, and QuickBooks Online reflects the cash receipt — all by 2:01pm.

Net terms & buy now pay later for wholesale

Best for: trusted buyers, retail accounts, growth deals

Offer the same buy now pay later wholesale flexibility buyers expect from JOOR, NuOrder, and Faire — but tied directly to your AIMS360 apparel ERP credit limits and AR. Configure Net 30 / 60 / 90 per customer, or route higher-risk orders through integrated B2B financing partners so your brand gets paid up front and the buyer pays over time.

  1. Credit decision in AIMS360 apparel B2B software

    Customer profile shows credit limit, open balance, AR aging, payment history. System auto-checks available credit before order approval.

  2. Choose the right method per buyer

    Net terms (Net 30 / 60 / 90), BNPL through financing partners, deposit + balance, or full prepay — configurable per customer or per order.

  3. Buyer accepts & ships

    For BNPL, financing partner pays you up front; buyer pays the financing partner. For net terms, invoice is issued at ship with due date set automatically.

  4. Automated AR follow-up

    Invoice link emailed at ship. Reminders, statements, and overdue alerts go out automatically. Buyer can pay anytime through the Weblink portal.

Real Example A specialty retailer with a strong AR history places a $15,000 reorder. Their AIMS360 profile is set to Net 60. Order ships immediately with no payment friction; the invoice link goes out automatically; the buyer pays online via ACH on day 47. Zero collections calls.

Sales reps on the go — swipe cards in person

Best for: MAGIC, Coterie, Project, showrooms, market week

For sales reps on the go, use credit card swipe on AIMS360 Remotelink B2B tool to easily swipe credit cards in person at tradeshows. Write orders offline, take deposits on the spot with supported card readers, then sync everything back to AIMS360 with payment already secured before you leave the booth.

  1. Open Remotelink on iPad or iPhone

    Mobile B2B sales tool runs offline at the booth. See full catalog with live styles, colors, and sizes.

  2. Write the order with the buyer

    Select styles, sizes, quantities. See real-time inventory and credit limit so you don't oversell or extend credit you shouldn't.

  3. Swipe the card on the spot

    Use a supported card reader to swipe Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, or Discover for a deposit, prepayment, or full charge — instant authorization.

  4. Sync back to AIMS360 apparel ERP

    When connectivity returns, the order, payment, and authorization sync to AIMS360 apparel management software. Marketing, sales, and accounting all see the same record.

Real Example At MAGIC Las Vegas, a rep writes a $32,000 order with a new boutique buyer. They swipe the buyer's AMEX for a $10,000 deposit right at the booth. By the time the rep walks to the next appointment, the order, deposit, and authorization are already in AIMS360 back at HQ. No hand-off, no re-keying, no chasing the buyer for payment after the show.

Cross-border B2B payments without FX headaches

Best for: brands selling into EU, UK, APAC, Canada

Sell globally without making your accounting team chase exchange rates. Buyers pay in their local currency; you settle in yours. Transactions post cleanly in ERP and accounting — one of the most robust multi-currency payment capabilities in any apparel ERP.

  1. Buyer sees their currency

    Invoice and payment link display in the buyer's local currency (EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, etc.) for confidence and faster pay.

  2. Pay with local card or ACH equivalent

    Buyer charges their local card or makes a local bank transfer through the payment gateway.

  3. You settle in your base currency

    Funds settle to your account in USD (or your base). FX conversion is handled by the gateway with transparent rates.

  4. Clean accounting entry

    AIMS360 apparel ERP records the original-currency value, the converted value, and any FX gain/loss — then syncs cleanly to QuickBooks or NetSuite.

Real Example A European retailer in Paris pays a €12,500 invoice by SEPA-equivalent ACH in euros. AIMS360 apparel management software records both the EUR amount and the USD-converted value (~$13,400). The transaction settles to the brand's USD account, posts to QuickBooks, and FX reconciliation is one click instead of a spreadsheet exercise.
Buy Now Pay Later Wholesale

Offer net terms and BNPL — without giving up cash flow

AIMS360 apparel B2B software lets you grant net terms to qualified accounts, route higher-risk orders through B2B financing partners, and still get paid up front through buy now pay later — all governed by your ERP credit limits and AR aging.

Three flexible ways to extend buyer credit — one ERP

Whether the buyer wants Net 30, BNPL through a wholesale financing partner, or a hybrid deposit-plus-balance arrangement, every option settles back into AIMS360 apparel ERP — and posts to QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, or NetSuite line-item accurate.

AIMS360 Pay FAQ

B2B payments for fashion wholesale — answered

The most common questions apparel brands ask when evaluating ERP-integrated B2B payment processing. For deeper context, read the complete AIMS360 Pay guide.

What is AIMS360 Pay?

AIMS360 Pay is the ERP-integrated B2B payments platform built into AIMS360 apparel ERP software — also called AIMS360 apparel management software or AIMS360 fashion ERP. It enables fashion wholesale brands to accept credit card, ACH, deposits, pre-authorizations, net terms, buy now pay later, and invoice link payments inside the same system that runs orders, inventory, shipping, and accounting — eliminating swivel-chair work between merchant portals and the ERP.

What are B2B payments and which type is typically favored in B2B?

B2B payments are transactions between businesses, typically larger and more complex than consumer transactions. ACH bank transfers are the most commonly favored electronic B2B payment method because they have the lowest processing fees, but credit cards remain popular for buyer convenience and rewards programs.

AIMS360 Pay supports ACH, credit card, debit, gift cards, net terms (Net 30 / 60 / 90), and buy now pay later — so apparel brands can offer the right method per buyer rather than forcing one option on everyone.

What B2B payment methods does AIMS360 Pay support?

AIMS360 Pay supports Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, debit cards, gift credit cards, ACH bank transfers, net terms (Net 30, 60, 90), and buy now pay later through integrated wholesale financing partners. All transactions process inside the apparel ERP, so orders, invoices, processing fees, and accounting entries stay synchronized — no manual double-entry or spreadsheets.

Is AIMS360 Pay PCI compliant?

Yes. AIMS360 Pay is PCI DSS compliant and uses tokenization. Full credit card numbers are never stored in AIMS360 — only a masked reference (last 4 digits) is visible inside the ERP. Sensitive payment data lives only in the certified payment gateway, which lowers compliance exposure for your accounting team and protects your buyers.

What is the difference between a deposit, prepayment, and pre-authorization?

A deposit or prepayment is money collected upfront and applied to the final invoice at shipment — it improves cash flow and locks in production.

A pre-authorization is a hold that reserves funds on a buyer's card without charging, similar to a hotel hold. The pre-auth is captured when the order ships. Pre-auths protect the brand from declines after the warehouse has already picked, packed, and labeled the order.

How does pre-authorization with estimated freight work in AIMS360?

At order entry, AIMS360 calculates expected shipping using product weights, carton dimensions, carrier and service level, destination, and surcharges — with an optional buffer. The pre-auth then covers merchandise, taxes, estimated freight, and any processing fees, minus deposits already collected. At shipment, AIMS360 captures the actual amount automatically. If actual freight exceeds the pre-auth, the system can prompt for a supplemental authorization or let you adjust cartons and re-rate.

Does AIMS360 support buy now pay later (BNPL) and net terms for wholesale?

Yes. AIMS360 supports both net terms (Net 30, 60, 90) configured per customer and buy now pay later through integrated wholesale financing partners. Brands can grant net terms to qualified accounts while still using deposits, pre-auths, or BNPL for larger or first-time orders to balance flexibility with risk.

This gives apparel brands the same buy now pay later wholesale flexibility buyers expect from JOOR, NuOrder, and Faire — but tied directly to your ERP credit limits and AR aging.

Can deposits from JOOR, NuOrder, FashionGo, Faire, and Shopify B2B sync into AIMS360?

Yes. Deposits collected on JOOR, NuOrder, FashionGo, Faire, and Shopify B2B flow into AIMS360 and are automatically associated with the correct orders and invoices. This eliminates manual reconciliation across multiple b2b wholesale platforms and keeps accounting centralized regardless of where the buyer placed the order. See dedicated integration pages for JOOR and NuOrder, plus the complete B2B integrations hub covering FashionGo, Faire, and Shopify B2B.

Does AIMS360 Pay support multi-currency and cross-border B2B payments?

Yes. International buyers pay in their local currency while the brand settles in its base currency. Transactions post cleanly to the ERP and to QuickBooks or NetSuite, minimizing FX reconciliation work. This is especially valuable for fashion brands expanding into the EU, UK, APAC, and Canada — and is one of the most competitive cross-border B2B payments capabilities in any apparel ERP.

How does ERP-integrated payment processing save money compared to QuickBooks Payments or standalone merchant services?

AIMS360's card processing rates are significantly lower than QuickBooks Payments. Combined with line-item accurate sync to QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, and NetSuite, brands cut transaction fees, eliminate manual reconciliation labor, and accelerate cash flow.

A brand processing $50,000 in market week orders typically saves hundreds in fees per week versus QuickBooks Payments while also getting paid faster — because invoices, payments, and accounting all flow without human handoff.

Can sales reps swipe credit cards at apparel tradeshows?

Yes. AIMS360 apparel software Remotelink is the mobile B2B sales tool that lets reps write orders offline, swipe physical credit cards with supported card readers, and take deposits or prepayments on the spot at MAGIC, Coterie, Project, NY Now, and other apparel tradeshows. Orders sync back to AIMS360 with payment already secured before the rep leaves the booth — eliminating the lag between order writing and payment collection.

Does AIMS360 include B2B credit management?

Yes. AIMS360 apparel software CRM includes B2B credit management tools and accounts receivable (AR) aging so credit teams can set credit limits per customer, track open balances and AR aging, configure net terms, and automatically check available credit before approving new orders. Combined with deposits and pre-auths for higher-risk buyers, this gives apparel brands a complete order-to-cash credit management workflow inside the ERP.

Can AIMS360 Pay charge a B2B credit card processing surcharge?

Yes. AIMS360 supports customer-specific surcharge rules — different rates can be applied automatically by customer or by card type. Surcharges appear transparently on invoices for consistent margin protection. Brands should always follow state, federal, and card brand rules on disclosure and surcharge limits (this is not legal advice — consult your counsel and payment provider for compliance specifics).

How does AIMS360 Pay help reduce chargebacks?

Deposits and pre-authorizations establish clear buyer intent and proof of authorization before shipment, which is one of the strongest defenses in B2B chargeback disputes. Itemized invoice payment links also reduce confusion by giving buyers a clear record of exactly what they paid for. Together, these practices help cut chargebacks meaningfully in apparel wholesale.
