Let’s cut the fluff.
This blog series has one job: to convince you to either buy an OroCommerce license or confidently recommend it to someone who should.
Why are we so upfront? Because when people see what OroCommerce can do under the hood, their reaction is usually something like, “This is exactly what we needed,” or, our favorite, “You guys get it.”
We live for those moments.
And we figure if you’re the person leading digital commerce at a B2B industrial company, you don’t have time for vague marketing talk. You need solutions that solve problems, and partners that respect your intelligence.
So let’s get to it.
TL;DR for the Busy Ones
Today, we’re spotlighting OroPay, our native payment solution, and the new Invoicing Portal that saves B2B teams from paper purgatory.
OroPay is our native B2B payment solution, fully integrated into OroCommerce, that lets your buyers pay invoices or check out using credit cards or ACH.
Pair that with the Invoicing Portal, and you’ve got a clean self-service hub built right into the customer portal. Buyers can track invoice statuses, download current or past invoices, and pay directly within the portal without needing to call, email, or dig through old PDFs.
It’s fast, simple, and surprisingly enjoyable.
What exactly did we build?
- Orders created on the website can be paid at checkout using OroPay (doc)
- Invoices can be paid using OroPay or Stripe (doc)
- Back-office teams can access full invoice records, view line items and payments, download and email invoices as PDF attachments (doc)
- Buyers can view and download invoices right from the storefront (user doc, dev doc)
- Payments made through OroPay are automatically matched to the right customer, invoice and order.
- Flexible invoice configuration supports global, multi-brand, multi-location, and multi-organization setups.
- The Invoice API lets you create invoices, sync invoice data with systems like ERP, and attach supporting documents (gitHub).
How does it help Industrial B2B Companies?
- Cuts manual reconciliation by linking payments directly to invoices and orders.
- Reduces support load as customers can manage their own invoices and payments.
- Brings full quote to cash visibility into one place, not scattered across five systems.
- Eliminates extra plugins and added fees by delivering everything natively without complex integrations and maintenance headaches.
- Delivers a true B2B payment solution out of the box by aligning with how industrial companies already work, from multi-site and multi-currency setups to personalized workflows.
- Ensures enterprise-grade security and compliance through OroCommerce and Global Payments, covering PCI DSS, SOC 1 & 2, 3D Secure 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and more.
- May help reduce transaction fees on large B2B credit card payments with support for Level 2 and Level 3 processing.
Alright, if you’re short on time, that’s the gist.
But if you want the bigger picture, stick around. We’ll cover the market context (perfect ammo for your next board meeting) and take a peek at what’s coming next on the roadmap.
Market Context: Why This Matters Now
B2B payments are stuck in the past. Factory floors may be automated, warehouses run by robots, but invoices are still getting lost in email threads and are reconciled by hand. The result? According to PYMNTS, half of all U.S. B2B invoices are overdue, bad debt eats up 8 percent of sales, and 40 percent of firms delay paying suppliers.
At the same time, the market is racing forward. Embedded B2B payments are projected to hit 16 trillion dollars by 2030, and 36% of executives already fear being left behind if they do not modernize. When they do invest, they want solutions that actually fit. 62% say ERP integration is the number one factor in choosing a payment platform.
91% of manufacturers and distributors see real-time payments as critical for supplier relationships, and most plan to expand their use. Their own customers are just as demanding: 74% will switch suppliers for a smoother digital experience.
The market message is clear. Payments can no longer be treated as an afterthought.
Automated reconciliation reduces overdue invoices and delays. ERP integration ties invoicing data into the operational core, giving businesses financial clarity. And a self-service invoicing portal gives customers the control, visibility, and speed they now expect.
Together, OroPay and the Invoicing Portal solve the exact pain points the market is shouting about: overdue invoices, scattered systems, and rising pressure for a digital-first experience.
The Road Ahead for OroPay
Today, OroPay delivers a clean, modern payment experience built into OroCommerce, powered by Global Payments, and fully ready for real-world B2B complexity. AR and AP teams can now ditch the spreadsheets and work inside a single, unified portal.
