Melio doesn't just vastly improve your bill paying experience, we also make sure that vendors receive your payments with the same ease and clarity.
In this article, we'll review what your payment recipient gets when you pay them: the (optional) notification in their inbox that can arrive before the payment arrives.
👉 Before the payment arrives
You can notify your vendor before payment arrives
-
Optional: once you schedule a payment, you can add your vendor's email address and have them notified once the payment is processed. To have them receive this email, just select the NOTIFY MY VENDOR at the end of the payment scheduling process.
If you choose to notify your vendor and enter their email, they'll receive an email that lets them know about the payment on the day it's processed with details about when and how to expect it. Here's an example of what that email looks like:
