Working capital pressure is real—and it’s changing how finance, procurement, and AP teams think about supplier payments. While many organizations default to extending payment terms, that approach can create supplier stress, increase onboarding friction, and introduce supply chain risk. A smarter option is a well-designed early pay discount program: suppliers get paid sooner, and buyers capture measurable savings for accelerating payment.
This webinar brings that strategy to life with practical examples, program guidance, and real-world discussion about how EarlyPay is being used to generate value across the supplier lifecycle. Whether you’re exploring early payment discounts for the first time or trying to expand an existing program, this session is built to help you understand what works, what to prioritize, and how to scale.

Early pay discount programs are effective because they create clear value on both sides of the payment:
These outcomes are why early pay discounts are increasingly viewed as a financial strategy—not just an AP optimization.
Running early payment discounts manually can be difficult: it creates exceptions, requires outreach, and can be hard to track at scale. EarlyPay helps operationalize and scale the program by enabling a structured approach that supports supplier participation and program governance.
A scalable early pay discount program typically includes:
