No Follow-Ups Needed: Get Paid on Time with Autopay

Get ahead of payments with Autopay

In wholesale cannabis, cash flow matters just as much as product quality. The longer your invoices are outstanding, the harder it is to keep your business growing at the pace you need.

Autopay is a powerful tool designed to help wholesale cannabis sellers secure payments upfront and automate collections — before the order even ships. It eliminates the manual follow-up, uncertainty, and aging invoices that slow sellers down.

Here’s how it works, when to use it, and how to set it up for success.

How Autopay Works

Instead of waiting until delivery or invoice due dates, sellers using autopay can secure a buyer’s payment commitment at the time of order placement.

When a buyer places an order, they authorize the payment immediately. Once the order is fulfilled, the payment is automatically processed through Direct Pay, LeafLink’s secure ACH platform, on the invoice due date.

What does that mean for wholesale cannabis sellers? No manual chasing, no awkward follow-ups, and no missed invoices sitting unpaid for weeks.

✅ Require buyers to approve payment when they submit an order
✅ Automate payment processing through Direct Pay
✅ Reduce risk of late or missed payments
✅ Strengthen cash flow predictability

When to Use Autopay

Autopay is a smart fit for:

• First-time buyers or new account relationships where payment history is still unproven
  
• High-volume orders where the financial risk is greater if payment delays happen
  
• Tight cash flow cycles where consistent, predictable collections are critical
  
• Multi-location buyers where processing payments manually would slow operations
  

By securing approval upfront, you put your brand in control of the payment timeline, without having to supervise the buyer’s accounts payable workflow.

Best Practices for Setting Up Autopay

To get the most out of autopay:

• Communicate expectations clearly at the start of the buyer relationship. Make on-time payment commitment part of your sales workflow.
  
• Use it consistently for orders over a certain volume or for buyers without strong payment histories.
  
• Monitor approvals through your Payments dashboard to ensure smooth order fulfillment.
  

This feature is designed to fit into your existing sales and fulfillment processes with minimal disruption, while giving your finance and ops teams much stronger control over cash flow.
