  • Suppliers who have at least one payment method added

    These suppliers can be found at Suppliers >> Manage Suppliers either under Corporation or Individuals tab. New payment method can be added in the following ways:
    • Request payment method either from single or multiple suppliers and click the mail icon which says ‘Send mail to contacts in selected rows’. This will send an email to the selected suppliers requesting them to provide payment information. Please note, to use this feature, you will need to have supplier’s email address. If supplier provides payment method information, this will be added as a new payment method in addition to the existing one.
    • Under Corporation tab, select one of the suppliers and click the pencil icon to edit the supplier record. You will be taken to the supplier profile page where you will have two tabs Supplier Profile and Payment Methods. Under Payment Methods tab you can add a new payment method, and this will be added as a new payment method in addition to the existing one.

Before adding a Virtual Credit Card as a Payment Method, you will be required to add an RBC Business or Commercial Credit Card as funding source.

You can add suppliers in two ways:

1. Manually

Suppliers can be added under Suppliers >> Add a Supplier. Follow the on-screen instructions to add a supplier. If you add a payment method for the supplier, you will find the supplier either under Corporation or Individual tab under Manage Suppliers depending on what supplier type you selected while adding the supplier. In case you chose to request payment method information from the supplier, the supplier will be found under Attention needed tab till the supplier provides payment method information or you add a payment method manually in the meantime.

Note: Suppliers added manually will not sync with your accounting software.

2. Mass Import

If you have many suppliers and want to save time by adding all of them at once, Mass Import is the feature that you should use. You can find the feature under Suppliers >> Mass Import.

If you have already connected to an accounting software, you will have an option to Import from Accounting Platform. You can click the button Import Suppliers to import all suppliers from accounting software.

By default, the suppliers imported from your accounting software can be found on your RBC PayEdge account at Suppliers >> Manage Suppliers under Attention Needed tab.

Suppliers are in this section because their payment information is not complete. Once the payment method has been provided or updated for the supplier, the supplier record will move to either Corporation or Individuals tab as applicable.

For suppliers who already have a valid payment method added in their accounting software can be found under Corporation or Individuals tab as applicable.

If you have not connected an accounting software to RBC PayEdge, you can download a Supplier Template, fill it up with relevant details; if you have any questions, there is a Helpful Summary which you can refer when filling this template. Upload the completed file and all the suppliers will be added to your RBC PayEdge account. Please note that suppliers added this way will not sync with your accounting software.
If you face this issue, please ensure that you follow these steps before saving supplier payment information. Given below is an example of Direct Deposit (EFT), if you select any other payment method for your supplier, the steps would be very similar, but the fields will vary based on the selected payment method.
