Solar and energy payment FAQs
Questions energy distributors ask first.
Practical answers for distributors, installers and resellers.
Why are flexible payment terms useful for solar and energy equipment?

What kinds of energy purchases can be made with PastPay?
PastPay can be used for eligible B2B purchases offered by participating merchants. The buyer sees the available limit, payment term and transaction details before confirmation.
Can PastPay support large project orders and recurring stock purchases?
PastPay can support eligible purchases that fit within the buyer’s available limit, whether the order is project-specific or part of recurring inventory replenishment.
Can energy distributors offer PastPay online and through sales teams?
Yes. PastPay can support webshop, phone, email, showroom and account-managed sales through supported plugins, an API connection or the PastPay Portal.
When does the solar or energy supplier receive payment?
Payment is typically made within one business day after an approved order has been fulfilled and its invoice is uploaded. Exact timing is confirmed during merchant onboarding.
Who manages buyer assessment and non-payment risk?
PastPay evaluates the buyer and transaction. For approved purchases, PastPay assumes non-payment risk within the scope defined in the merchant agreement.
