Sending Payment Confirmation to Vendors
How to Send Payment Confirmation:
Navigate to Bill Pay
Go to the Payments tab
Find the bill using the payment date, vendor name, or currency
Click the three-dot menu next to the bill
Choose "Share Payment Confirmation (web link)"
Choosing this option opens a live, shareable confirmation page in a new tab. The shared link expires 365 days after the payment is completed. The payment status updates in real time while the payment is in progress.
Automatically Send Payment Confirmations to Vendors

Click on the "View payment details" below the vendor's name
Scroll to the Payment Confirmations section
Toggle ON and enter the vendor’s email address
Click Save

Once enabled, vendors will automatically receive a confirmation email after the authorization of funds release has been given for the invoice. There will be a tracking link included, which the vendor can use to track the progress of the payment.
What Vendors See
When a payment is made through Float, vendors can see:
- Your legal business name (as listed on your Float account)
- The invoice number tied to the bill
- A unique reference number (if supported by their bank)
These details help vendors identify the payment and reconcile it with their records.
