One record from invoice to payout close

Gruv sits as Merchant of Record: we bill your clients, collect tax forms, run compliance checks, route payouts through licensed partners, and hand your finance team one export that closes in NetSuite.

Pick your path below. Most teams launch in 2 to 4 weeks.

Four jobs collapse into one workflow

Billing, compliance, payouts, and reconciliation run on one record your finance team already knows how to audit. One vendor in your ERP, one export at month-end.

Billing and payment collection

Send invoices with payment links or embed a hosted checkout. Every payment ties back to the vendor, client, or contract that created it.

Compliance and tax gates

KYB, W-8BEN, sanctions screening, and beneficial-owner attestation collect during onboarding. No gate passed, no payout goes out.

Payout control and visibility

Every payout shows a live status (pending, approved, in-flight, settled). Failed payments surface reason codes and retry without creating duplicates.

Audit-ready records

Invoices, beneficiary details, provider references, and FX rates stay linked on one record. Export to NetSuite or Xero with journal IDs for month-end close.

Gruv AI

Gruv AI inside every MoR workflow

Compliance, documents, and payment gates run on the same record operators see. Each check ships with a reason and a source. Finance trusts the decision, ops explains it.

AI Compliance Engine

Every vendor, payee, and client runs through jurisdiction, tax, and sanctions checks before payment routes. Each decision carries a confidence score and the rule it cleared or failed.

AI document review

W-8BEN, W-9, IDs, and bank details are parsed, checked for completeness, and tracked status by status. Missing or stale documents block the next payout until cleared.

AI workflow gates

Sanctions, threshold, and policy gates run on every payment in flight. Every hold pins the reason code to the record. Ops resolves without paging compliance.

Ask Gruv AI

Ask why a payee is on hold or why a payment paused. Get the gate, the reason code, and a link to the source record in one answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Merchant of Record actually mean for my team?+
Gruv becomes the legal seller on invoices and receipts. That means we handle billing, collect tax under the MoR program, run compliance gates, and route payouts through licensed partners on one record your finance team audits in NetSuite or Xero. One platform replaces the Stripe + compliance vendor + payout provider + spreadsheet stack.
I pay contractors and agencies. Which page do I want?+
The Business page. It covers vendor consolidation, approval workflows, and reconciliation exports for AP teams paying global talent.
I invoice clients as a freelancer. Which page do I want?+
The Freelancer page. It covers hosted invoicing, payment collection via checkout links, and withdrawal to your bank or PayPal.
What compliance checks run before a payout goes out?+
KYB verification, W-8BEN/W-9 collection, beneficial-owner attestation, sanctions and PEP screening, and bank-detail validation run through our compliance partners. Each check carries a reason code so your finance team traces every hold.
Can I launch in one country and expand later?+
Yes. Most teams launch with one corridor (e.g. US-to-Philippines) or one business unit, prove the workflow, and add markets without re-platforming.
I already have entities in some markets. Does Gruv still fit?+
Yes. Use your own entity where you have coverage and Gruv MoR for the rest. We map the split based on who sells, where funds flow, and which compliance work you want off your plate.
How fast can my team go live?+
Most teams launch in 2 to 4 weeks. We set milestones on the first call and your first transaction clears during the pilot window.
