Packaging and shipping supplies distributors face a cash-flow paradox: customers expect Net 30–90, while suppliers want immediate payment for materials. The wrong platform traps working capital and strains thin margins. B2B payments are a massive, fast-evolving market, yet many distributors still rely on checks and manual invoicing—often adding 30+ days to cash collection. Resolve Pay's B2B Payments Platform streamlines net terms, invoicing, and AI-powered reconciliation for high-volume, complex billing. We reviewed 20+ platforms and selected 9 strong options for 2026.

B2B payment platforms like Resolve Pay's Accounts Receivable automation can accelerate cash flow by offering net terms to customers while advancing up to 90% of invoice value within 24 hours. This eliminates the cash flow gap between paying suppliers and receiving customer payments. Platforms with automated payment reminders and streamlined collections also reduce Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), getting you paid faster while maintaining customer relationships.
Offering net terms can increase sales volume and customer retention. Research indicates that the majority of B2B buyers prefer net terms options, with businesses offering these terms experiencing up to 22% higher conversion rates compared to immediate payment requirements. For packaging distributors, this means larger orders and more frequent purchases from customers who can better manage their own cash flow. Net terms also create switching costs that improve customer retention—once buyers are approved for credit with you, they're more likely to continue purchasing rather than switching suppliers.

Resolve Pay's AI agents manage workflows and reduce friction in collections by determining the optimal timing and messaging for payment reminders.

Non-recourse financing, like Resolve Pay's 100% non-recourse solution, means you face zero liability for customer non-payment. For packaging distributors operating on tight margins, non-recourse financing eliminates bad debt risk entirely, making it significantly safer than traditional factoring or recourse financing. This protection is especially valuable when extending credit to new customers or during economic uncertainty when customer payment behavior becomes less predictable.
