Routable Technical Briefing
Published September 20, 2022
Supported by Modern Treasury , IowaEDA and Brale
Overview
Routable is a B2B payments platform — a successor to the painful experience of building B2B payment infrastructure in-house at marketplaces, where a thousand to a million payouts per month have to move alongside tax-document management, ERP logging, and appease finance, ops, and engineering simultaneously. This briefing demos an international payout to a Canadian delivery driver with Routable co-querying NetSuite in the same flow, attaches files and FX conversion to the transaction, exposes Routable's approval rules, and walks through the magic-link payee experience (branded in the payer's name, no signup required). Closing demos cover bank-error recovery, retroactive payment-method updates on pending payables, the Object Field Mapping UI developers use to align with NetSuite/QuickBooks object IDs, and RTP-enabled domestic payouts.
0:00 Introduction to Routable — B2B payments platform
Routable is a B2B payments platform. Both co-founders previously built B2B payment infrastructure in-house at marketplaces — a terrible experience involving 1k–1M payouts/month, tax-document management, ERP logging, and simultaneous appeal to finance, ops, and engineering.
1:30 International payout demo: Canadian delivery driver
Live demo of sending an international payout — paying a Canadian delivery driver — with Routable querying NetSuite alongside its own data in a single flow, checking outstanding liabilities, and rendering the full NetSuite-required payment form.
2:30 NetSuite posting period, memo, required fields
Every field in Routable's payment form maps to a NetSuite-required or optional attribute per vendor type. Attach files, attach addresses, trigger FX conversion at the right rate — all of it syncs back to NetSuite so accounting stays clean.
4:00 Approval rules
Approval rules (e.g. payouts over $3,000 require explicit approval; smaller payments auto-send) run on the Routable platform before any funds move.
5:00 Magic-link payee experience
Payees receive a Routable email branded in the payer's name (e.g. "Michelle from Dunkin Donuts"). Magic links let payees view payment status and history without a signup — or the payer can build their own payee UI against the Routable API.
6:30 Bank-error recovery and payment method updates
If a payment fails on bad banking instructions, Routable lets the payee update their payment method and offers a control in Advanced Options to retroactively apply the new method to pending payables so the fix cascades.
7:30 Object Field Mapping for developers
A dashboard-level Object Field Mapping UI lets finance teams hand developers the NetSuite / QuickBooks object IDs they need to fire payments programmatically — the cheat sheet that usually burns hours of Slack back-and-forth.
9:00 RTP-enabled domestic vendors
For domestic vendors whose bank supports real-time payments, Routable surfaces an "RTP enabled" badge on the payout screen — one click to route a payment over RTP instead of ACH or check.
