What Is the "Check Recent Payment" Feature?
The Check Recent Payment feature in Clarity Payment Hub puts your most recent payment front and center on your dashboard the moment you log in. You do not have to navigate to a separate transactions section or search for your payment — it is right there, prominently displayed with everything you need to know: payment date, amount, payment method (credit card, ACH, etc.), current status (processed, pending, posted), and a confirmation number.
The status is synchronized in real time from your vendor's ERP through Clarity Connect, which means you see the current state of your payment without any lag. If the payment is still processing through the payment gateway, the status shows "processing." If it has been posted to your vendor's account, the status shows "posted." You can see at a glance whether your payment went through successfully.
Click on the payment to view the complete details: the exact date and time it was submitted, the exact amount, which payment method you used, which invoices the payment was applied to, and the full confirmation number. This information is your proof of payment — everything you need to provide to your accounting team or vendor if there is ever a discrepancy or question about whether you paid.
The Check Recent Payment feature solves one of the most common and anxiety-inducing pain points in B2B payments: uncertainty about payment status after submitting a payment. Instead of wondering and worrying, or having to call AR to ask, you know immediately and with confidence that your payment has been received and posted.
The Problem: Payment Uncertainty and Status Anxiety
In most B2B payment environments, after a customer submits a payment, there is a period of uncertainty. The customer does not know if the payment has been received, whether it has processed, or when it will post to their account. They may have gotten a confirmation email from their bank or credit card company, but they do not have confirmation from the vendor. The only way to know for certain is to wait for the next statement — or call AR and ask "Did my payment go through?"
This uncertainty creates stress and unnecessary support burden. Customers worry about whether they need to resend the payment. AR teams field calls from anxious customers asking about payment status when the information could be provided instantly and automatically through the portal. Both parties waste time and create friction over information that technology can surface in seconds.
After you submit a payment, you do not know if it was received. Did it process? Is it pending? Did it post? You have no way to know until you receive a statement or call the AR team. This creates anxiety and uncertainty.
Customers call or email AR asking "Did my payment post?" These are often routine, low-value inquiries that AR could eliminate by giving customers instant visibility into payment status through the portal.
Without portal visibility, customers lack instant proof that they submitted a payment. If there is a dispute, they have to ask the vendor for a confirmation, creating a back-and-forth instead of having proof readily available.
Waiting for a statement or an email confirmation creates a delay between payment submission and confirmation. This delay is unnecessary friction that damages customer confidence and creates unnecessary anxiety.
When a customer submits a payment, they may not know if it was correctly applied to the invoices they intended. Portal visibility clarifies exactly which invoices the payment was credited to.
