Questions retail owners actually ask..

How much will my specific business save? +

Savings depend on your supplier count, payment frequency, and transaction volume. Generally: reduced administrative overhead from consolidating payments into one wallet, 2% captured on early payment discounts where offered, and working capital loan interest avoided through credit card float. Calculate your specific situation based on your current costs.

How does paying suppliers with credit card actually work? +

You pay Zil Money with your credit card. We pay your supplier via ACH, wire, or check (their preference). They get paid their way. You get 30-45 days before card payment due plus earn rewards based on your card terms. Critical for seasonal inventory financing.

What about the credit card processing fee? +

Standard processing fees apply (typically around 2.9%). Compare total benefit: 30-45 day float (avoids working capital loan interest of 8-12% annually) plus card rewards earned plus ability to stock properly = total value often exceeds fee cost. Use strategically for seasonal inventory buys.

Can we really capture 2% early payment discounts? +

Yes, if your suppliers offer 2/10 net 30 terms. Upload all supplier payments at once. Everything processed in minutes. Payments arrive within 1-2 business days. Easily meets 10-day discount deadlines. That 2% savings flows straight to gross margin.

How do wholesale collections work? +

Send payment links to B2B wholesale customers. When they pay via ACH, funds go directly to your Zil Money Wallet, ready to use for supplier payments.

What about multiple store locations? +

Ideal use case. Centralized supplier payments for all locations. Each location's operational expenses tracked separately for accurate P&L. Consolidated financial reporting for ownership. Pay all vendors once instead of managing across multiple locations.

Does this work with our POS system? +

Yes. Direct integration with Square, Shopify, Clover, Toast, Lightspeed, and major platforms. Daily sales automatically synced. Customer refunds coordinated. Accounting software integration eliminates duplicate entry.
