CHERRY serves as a B2B payment processing platform that effortlessly integrates with popular accounting software like QuickBooks, while also linking to banking payment systems, thereby increasing automation and alleviating manual work for all parties involved—payers, banks, and payees. By streamlining payment processes, CHERRY guarantees that transaction data is rapidly synced from the accounting software to the designated recipient, effectively eliminating unnecessary data entry and improving transaction approval workflows already in place. When a payment is logged within the accounting software, the CHERRY system produces a vCheck™ (virtual check) that can be digitally assessed and authorized prior to being sent for processing through the user's banking institution. In contrast, the conventional method for digital payments typically initiates outside of accounting applications, which can create discrepancies in accounting records due to a labor-intensive process that is often prone to errors from repetitive data entries. With CHERRY, users are empowered to finalize payments directly within their accounting application, leading to a notable increase in efficiency and a lower likelihood of errors. This groundbreaking solution not only simplifies the payment experience but also fosters a more efficient approach to financial management for businesses, ultimately driving greater productivity and saving valuable time.
