What is a Third-Party Payment?

This is a new enhancement feature in Fusion Financials. Now let us discuss the terminology used in this enhanced feature.

A third-Party payment is a payment that a company makes to a designated party on behalf of the supplier on the invoice. Payments are generally made to the original supplier providing the goods or services. However, there can be specific arrangements made wherein suppliers can specify a different party to be paid on their behalf. 

Payments made to other parties on behalf of the suppliers are called Third-Party Payments. 

Following are a few instances where third-party payments are made:

  • A supplier files for bankruptcy. Let’s say the supplier has some outstanding receivables from certain customers. The court or the collection agency then sends a notification to all the customers saying that any outstanding payments that are due should be paid to them instead of to the supplier.
  • A supplier has a cash flow problem. Here, the supplier sells all of their receivables to a third party. The third party then notifies the customers about this change.

Third-Party Payment Process:

  • A third-party payment agreement is signed between the parties that is, the buying organizations’ supplier and a party.
  • The buying organization receives a purchase invoice for the goods and services rendered by the supplier. The invoice may have remit-to information, which would be the third party.
  • The buying organization makes an invoice payment to the third party.
