CPS streamlines the order-to-payment process for you and your Client.
With CPS, your Client places their order with you in exactly the same way they do now. You then obtain authorisation from American Express and deliver the goods and/or services.
Instead of invoicing your Client, you electronically bill American Express for payment via our online payment tool, Payment Link Online. American Express sends payment to your account in 5 working days.
Your Client receives a monthly invoice from American Express, and pays American Express directly.
To sign up for CPS, you need to select the version of PaymentLink Online that best suits your business. If you already know which is right for your business you can sign up now to CPS.
Otherwise please use the table below to decide which tool is right for you.
If you would like to speak to a member of Customer Services about your CPS tool please call 01273 607000, Option 2.
