Procore Pay extends the Invoice Management icon-external-link.png functionality in the Procore web application to handle the payment process between general and specialty contractors.
Limited Release
Free Procore accounts are currently available in English in Canada and the United States.

Objective 

To set up the payments tool as a subcontractor to receive payments from a general contractor using Procore Pay.

Background

General contractors can use Procore Pay to pay subcontractors that are invoiced through Procore. As a subcontractor, you can be invited by a general contractor to receive payments through Procore Pay. You can also request to be paid through Procore Pay by general contractors who use the tool. After you have been invited or have made your request, you need to set up a bank account to receive payments for your company.

  6. To receive payments through Procore, your company must have its own Procore Company Account. You will be prompted to log in with your existing log in credentials to identify whether you are marked as an employee on an existing free or paid company account. See How can I tell if I have a free or paid Procore company account?
    Depending on your account, the following will happen:
    • No Company Account
    • Paid Company Account
      • If your company has its own paid account and you are marked as an employee, users with 'Company Admin' permissions at your company will receive an email inviting them finish setting up the Payments tool and link a bank account. 
    • Free Company Account
      • If your company has its own free account and you are listed on their Team page, users with 'System Administrator' permissions at your company will receive an email inviting them finish setting up the Payments tool and link a bank account. 
 Important

Payment Administrators can access the Payments tool and have permission to perform all actions within it. The user who first sets up the Payments tool for a payee company—either by setting up Procore Pay or accepting a Procore Pay invitation—is automatically assigned Payment Administrator permissions.

After the initial set up, Payment Administrator permissions are managed solely in the Payments tool.

 

 PROCORE SUPPORT: INTERNAL NOTES

If a user is already an employee of the company, after they request Procore Pay, all current 'Company Admins' or 'System Administrators' will have a 'Payment Admin' permission applied to their permission settings on the back end. Current Payment Admins are visible in the Payment Settings.

If the user needs to first be added as an employee, they can search companies and request to join. When they join, they are marked as an employee of that company and assigned a permission level. After they are marked as an employee, the 'Payment Admin' permission is added to all current 'Company Admins' or 'System Administrators'.

Especially for paying customers, it may not make sense for an Invoice Contact to have 'Company Admin' level permissions in Procore. Because the 'Payment Admin' permission is applied to all current 'Company Admins' or 'System Administrators', the Invoice Contact does not need to have 'Company Admin' or 'System Administrator' permissions themselves. Options:

  1. Another user with 'Company Admin' or 'System Administrator' permissions can take the next step and add a bank account.
  2. The Company or System Admins can take an additional step to add the user as a Payment Admin. This is an additive permission to their assigned permission template in Procore.

Next Step

  1. If required, Accept or Deny User Requests to Join Your Company
