Common questions about invoice approval automation

Quick answers about setup, pricing, and how ApprovalMax works with your accounting system.

Does connecting ApprovalMax change anything in my accounting system? +

No. ApprovalMax connects via the official API. Your chart of accounts, contacts, and data stay exactly as they are. We add an approval layer on top — nothing in your ledger is modified.

How customisable are the approval workflows? +

Highly. Multi-step chains by amount, vendor, department, or any combination. Conditional logic, parallel approvals, and delegation — no coding required.

How does AP automation reduce manual work? +

No more forwarding emails, chasing approvers, updating spreadsheets, or attaching audit docs. Invoices route automatically and every action is logged without manual effort.

How does this help with compliance and audit readiness? +

Every approved document gets a time-stamped audit trail PDF auto-attached in your accounting system — who approved, when, why, and at what step. Complete visibility for audits.

What are the pricing plans? +

Tiered pricing based on your accounting platform and number of organisations. All plans include a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.

What happens when the 14-day trial ends? +

You choose a plan to continue. If you don't upgrade, your account pauses — no data deleted. Reactivate anytime.
