AI-enabled embedded payments capabilities help hospitality operators digitize more supplier payments, reduce reliance on checks, and improve payment visibility and control
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BirchStreet, the global hospitality operations platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Viewpost, a market leader in enterprise digital payments. The partnership expands the capabilities of BirchStreet SmartPay™, a solution processing billions of dollars in annual payment volume, with seamless supplier onboarding, payment conversion, and an AI-enabled embedded payments experience designed for hospitality customers.
BirchStreet SmartPay™ gives hospitality operators an embedded solution to manage supplier payments as part of the end-to-end procure-to-pay process. Through its partnership with Viewpost, BirchStreet is extending its supplier enablement and payment conversion capabilities so customers can digitize more payments with less effort. AI-enriched analysis and continuous supplier outreach help identify suppliers at the moment they are most likely to accept electronic payments, increasing participation, accelerating the conversion of remaining paper payments, and improving the experience for both buyers and suppliers.
Delivered through BirchStreet SmartPay™, the expanded capabilities are designed to fit within the ERP workflows, payment processors, and banking relationships customers already use, minimizing operational change. Viewpost routes payments through suppliers’ preferred digital methods while allowing clients to retain control of their funds until settlement, rather than funding payments in advance. This preserves liquidity, improves cash flow, and maximizes float. Together, BirchStreet and Viewpost enable hospitality operators to increase electronic payment adoption, improve payment control and visibility, streamline reconciliation, and reduce the fraud exposure associated with paper checks.
“Payments create the most value when they are a seamless extension of the procure-to-pay process,” said John McCaffrey, COO and President of BirchStreet. “By combining BirchStreet’s hospitality-specific platform with Viewpost’s AI-enabled, data-driven approach to supplier enablement and payment conversion, we can help our customers digitize more payments faster and with less effort while improving visibility, control, and efficiency across the payment lifecycle.”
“BirchStreet is redefining how hospitality companies think about payments, and we’re excited to be part of that journey,” said Jordan Novak, Chief Revenue Officer of Viewpost. “Together, Viewpost and BirchStreet are setting a new standard for embedded payments in hospitality.”
