Landing a corporate webstore program is a massive win for your business. But the celebration usually stops the moment the client says, “We don’t want our employees using individual credit cards at checkout; we just want you to invoice the corporate account based on their monthly allowances.”

Suddenly, your team is staring down a massive administrative headache. Tracking exactly who spent what, manually auditing offline spreadsheets of employee allowances, and verifying balances before fulfilling an order is an exhausting drain on your operations.

There has to be a smarter way to manage corporate webstore purchasing.

At Antera Software, we believe your software should actively eliminate administrative overhead. That is why we built Budgets for Aether eCommerce.

By replacing the traditional credit card checkout with tightly controlled digital budgets, you can offer your corporate clients a seamless, invoice-based B2B shopping experience without the manual tracking nightmare.

Here is a look at how the Aether Budgets transform your webstore management workflow:

Flexible Spending Controls

Every corporate client has different purchasing rules. Aether allows you to easily tailor budget plans to match their exact structure.

• Individual User Budgets: Give every single employee their own specific allowance to spend in the webstore.
• User Group Budgets: Create a shared bucket of funds for an entire division or department to pull from.

Put Your Allowances on Autopilot

Stop manually refreshing spreadsheets at the start of every month. With Aether, you can automate how budgets behave at the end of a specified term (whether that is every few days, weeks, or months).

• Reset Mode: Automatically reset the budget back to the original starting balance at the beginning of each period.
• Rollover Mode: Automatically add any leftover, unspent funds from the previous period to the user’s new budget.

A Frictionless Corporate Checkout

When an employee finds the merch or supplies they need, they simply head to checkout and select “Budget” as their payment method. No credit card required. But what happens if they want to buy a premium jacket that exceeds their corporate allowance?

• Allow Multiple Payments: Enable this setting to let the user drain their corporate budget first, and then seamlessly pay the remaining out-of-pocket difference with their own personal credit card.
• Allow Overbudget: If the corporate client is flexible, you can also allow users to spend beyond their balance, easily tracking the overage for the final invoice.

Effortless Administration

Managing these funds doesn’t have to be a guessing game. Webstore admins have total visibility and control over the flow of funds. You can quickly view a user’s Balance History, easily adjust specific balances with a logged reason, or execute massive bulk updates across the entire company using the CSV Budget Update tool.

Don’t let complex corporate invoicing rules drain your team’s time. Let Aether eCommerce handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on growing your webstore programs.
