Late payments pose a significant challenge for small businesses, frequently disrupting cash flow and hindering the management of daily operations.
Recognising this challenge, Xero have expanded their payment options for small businesses to include Pay by Bank, powered by Stripe.
Here’s what you need to know about Xero’s latest feature.
