Build AP payment workflows on Finexio.

Start with a practical implementation path, then use the Finexio Developer Hub for guides, API reference, and technical review. Finexio supports file-based launches, embedded partner workflows, and API-led integrations.

API workflow preview

Plan the payment lifecycle before production code.

v2.1
GET /v2/counterparties/
POST /invoices/batch/
GET /payments/?status=in-progress
POST /webhooks/
GET /reconciliation/drawdown

Data

Buyer, supplier, invoice, remittance, external IDs.

Events

Payment polling plus optional payment.changed webhook prompts.

Controls

Credential ownership, retries, logging, status ownership.

Close

Drawdown, reconciliation, audit trail, downstream consumers.

Public ReadMe v2.1 alignment, reviewed July 12, 2026. Examples use current API-reference values; production credentials and hostnames are confirmed during implementation.

File-first launch

Standard implementations commonly start with SFTP exchange for supplier and payment files, then return status and reconciliation outputs back.

Embedded partner workflow

Software, bank, and advisory partners can embed managed AP payments while Finexio handles supplier operations and rail orchestration.

API-led integration

Use the Developer Hub for guides and reference material when your team needs a direct API workflow.

API coverage

Connect the payment lifecycle, not just a payment endpoint.

Finexio is strongest when implementation covers supplier data, payment instruction flow, exceptions, status, and reconciliation. The docs are the technical reference; this page is the business and implementation bridge.

Buyer and supplier provisioning

Invoice and payment detail

Payment status and reconciliation

Webhook event notifications

Authentication and credential validation

Error handling and exception workflows

Technical intake

Define the handoff before a developer writes code.

Finexio implementations cross AP, treasury, supplier operations, support, security, and engineering. A high-quality integration plan names the system of record, the event owner, and the reconciliation consumer for every payment state.

01

Sandbox access, credential ownership, and environment handoff

02

Buyer, supplier, and counterparty data sources

03

Invoice batch structure, external IDs, and remittance requirements

04

Payment status ownership across ERP, AP, treasury, and support teams

05

Webhook subscription, retry, logging, and alerting expectations

06

Reconciliation output format, cadence, and downstream consumers

Before you build

Clarify access, authentication, and launch scope up front.

The public docs help engineering teams self-orient, but the strongest implementations still align the security model, buyer/supplier data, payment file or API scope, and production release plan with Finexio before build work accelerates.

Sandbox and credentials

Finexio provisions sandbox access. Testing should use authenticated HTTPS requests and non-production payment flows before any production cutover.

Authentication

The public API docs currently describe Basic Auth over HTTPS. Confirm credential ownership, storage, rotation, and go-live handoff with Finexio implementation.

File or API scope

Decide early whether the launch is SFTP file-first, API-led, embedded partner, or hybrid. That choice changes data mapping, support ownership, and launch testing.

API quickstart preview

See the implementation shape before opening the docs.

These examples are planning previews for technical evaluation. Use the public Developer Hub as the source of truth for current base URLs, authentication handling, schemas, field requirements, endpoint status, webhook event names, and environment-specific behavior.

Validate credentials

Validate sandbox credentials against the current v2.1 reference host, then keep the base URL configurable for production handoff.

curl --request GET "https://api.finexio-stage.com/v2/counterparties/" \
  --header "Authorization: Basic <base64 credentials>"
# Credential-validation use only; confirm production host during onboarding.

Submit an approved batch

Plan the invoice batch around durable buyer, supplier, invoice, remittance, and reconciliation identifiers.

POST /invoices/batch/
[
  {
    "amount_cents": 480000,
    "currency": "USD",
    "invoice_date": "2026-07-01",
    "invoice_due_date": "2026-07-15",
    "invoice_number": "INV-1042",
    "originating_counterparty_id": "buyer-id",
    "receiving_counterparty_id": "supplier-id",
    "reconciliation_id": "ap-run-2026-07-01"
  }
]

Sync status and reconciliation

Use payment polling and optional payment.changed webhooks as prompts to update downstream status and reconciliation consumers.

GET /payments/?status=in-progress
POST /webhooks/ { "event": "payment.changed" }
GET /reconciliation/drawdown?created_start=2026-07-01T00:00:00Z

Webhook payload preview

Treat webhooks as prompts to fetch the latest payment detail, not as the only synchronization source. Confirm the current subscription event name in the public docs before building.

{
  "object_type": "payment",
  "object_id": "pmt_mnXYAtWkNQEGbOGoDaOFJDREAekAlZh",
  "event": "payment.changed"
}
Status mapping

Decide what every payment state means before cutover.

Exact API values should be confirmed in the public docs during implementation. The mapping below gives engineering, AP, treasury, and support teams a shared launch checklist for status, webhook, and reconciliation behavior.

Planning state

Accepted

Signal

Invoice batch or payment instruction is received for processing.

Implementation move

Persist the external batch ID, source-system run ID, buyer, supplier, and invoice identifiers before any downstream update.

Owner

ERP/AP owner and integration lead

Planning state

Pending review

Signal

Payment is not yet ready to be treated as delivered.

Implementation move

Keep AP status conservative, route supplier-data questions, and avoid marking invoices paid until delivery evidence exists.

Owner

AP operations and supplier-data owner

Planning state

In progress

Signal

Payment work is underway through the selected rail or operational workflow.

Implementation move

Expose status to support teams, continue polling, and use webhook notifications as prompts to fetch the latest record.

Owner

Integration lead and support owner

Planning state

Settled

Signal

Payment is complete enough to drive reconciliation and downstream ledger updates.

Implementation move

Match status, amount, supplier, invoice, tracking ID, and drawdown records before closing the AP run.

Owner

Treasury, accounting, and reconciliation owner

Planning state

Exception

Signal

A payment needs action, retry, reissue, supplier outreach, or operational review.

Implementation move

Assign an owner, preserve the original identifiers, log the resolution path, and decide whether the ERP needs a hold, reversal, or reissue signal.

Owner

Finexio implementation and customer AP owner

1

Validate sandbox credentials and confirm where secrets will live in production.

2

Confirm buyer, supplier, counterparty, and external IDs map cleanly before invoice batches move.

3

Submit a small approved invoice batch with representative invoice, amount, remittance, and reconciliation fields.

4

Poll payment status and confirm which downstream systems consume each status change.

5

Register a webhook subscription, log delivery attempts, and test idempotent handling for repeated notifications.

6

Compare drawdown reconciliation output against invoice, payment, bank, and ERP records before cutover.

Bring implementation in early.

Finexio can review file format, ERP/AP system constraints, data quality, supplier workflow, payment status outputs, and reconciliation requirements before engineering work starts.
