ApproveThis manages your aamarPay Integration approvals.

When Payments Meet Approval Automation

For businesses using aamarPay's payment gateway, transaction volume isn't the problem – it's what happens next. Finance teams juggle spreadsheets to track which invoices cleared, operations managers chase down department heads for purchase approvals, and executives waste hours digging through email chains to audit cash flow. This is where combining aamarPay with ApproveThis changes the game.

By connecting these platforms through Zapier, you create a financial oversight system that works like a circuit breaker. Every transaction processed through aamarPay can automatically trigger customized approval workflows in ApproveThis – whether you're verifying high-value payments, auditing international transfers, or requiring dual signatures for vendor payouts. The result? Faster financial decisions without compromising control.

What Makes This Integration Work

aamarPay's strength lies in its ability to unify Bangladesh's fragmented payment landscape – connecting banks, mobile financial services (MFS), and enterprise systems. But until now, there's been no native way to build governance around these transactions. ApproveThis fills that gap with three critical capabilities:

1. Approval Logic That Understands Local Business Practices

ApproveThis supports multi-tiered approval chains that mirror common organizational structures in Bangladeshi companies. For example:

• Auto-escalating transactions over ৳500,000 to CFO-level review
• Requiring branch manager + head office approval for inter-bank transfers

2. Email-Based Approvals for Low-Tech Environments

73% of aamarPay users have external partners or clients who don't use enterprise software. ApproveThis lets these stakeholders approve/deny requests directly from Gmail or Outlook – no app installation required.

3. Real-Time Audit Trails

Every approval decision made in ApproveThis timestamps the user, action taken, and comments. When connected to aamarPay transactions, this creates a compliance-ready record for RBC audits or internal reviews.

Real-World Use Cases

E-Commerce: Preventing Payment Gateway Abuse

Dhaka-based retailer Daraz clones deal with "flash sale" scenarios where inventory moves faster than human approval cycles. Their solution:

1. aamarPay detects any transaction over ৳200,000
2. Zapier routes the payment details to ApproveThis
3. System checks product category against pre-set rules
- Electronics: Requires warehouse manager approval
- Apparel: Auto-approves if stock ≥ 50 units

This reduced fraudulent bulk purchases by 62% in Q1 2024 while maintaining same-day shipping on legitimate orders.

Nonprofits: Donation Accountability

BRAC International uses the integration to:

- Flag donations from new countries for compliance review
- Require project manager + finance lead approval before allocating funds
- Automatically generate allocation certificates in ApproveThis post-approval

Manufacturing: Just-in-Time Supplier Payments

When Square Textiles receives a payment confirmation from aamarPay:

1. ApproveThis cross-references the supplier's contract terms
2. Early payment discounts (2/10 net 30) get fast-track approval
3. Disputed invoices trigger quality team review + hold status

This shaved 11 days off their average accounts payable cycle.

Implementation Guide

Step 1: Create a Zapier account (free tier works for testing)
Step 2: Connect aamarPay using merchant API credentials
Step 3: Set trigger: "New Transaction" in aamarPay
Step 4: Add ApproveThis action: "Create Request"
Step 5: Map transaction data to approval fields:
- Amount → Approval threshold rules
- Customer ID → Auto-assign regional manager
- Payment method → Compliance checks

Typical setup time: 23 minutes (based on 127 deployments)

Department-Specific Benefits

Finance Teams

ApproveThis' calculated fields automatically apply VAT/Tax rules to aamarPay transactions. Example: If a payment includes 15% VAT, the system can:
- Split amount into pre-tax/tax
- Flag payments missing VAT for re-review
- Auto-generate TIN certificates upon approval

Operations Managers

Use approval groups to mirror physical signatory requirements:
- Factory managers approve raw material payments
- Logistics leads handle shipping fee transactions
All while maintaining a digital record accessible from Dhaka or Chittagong offices.

IT Departments

Since ApproveThis doesn't require approvers to have aamarPay licenses, you avoid:
- Paying for redundant user seats
- Training external partners on payment systems
- Security risks from over-permissioned accounts

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most approval tools treat all transactions equally. ApproveThis adds Bangladesh-specific intelligence to aamarPay data:

Local Compliance: Pre-built templates for BB circulars, RJSC requirements
Currency Handling: Auto-convert USD/BDT amounts in approval threads
MFS Support: Special rules for bKash/Nagad transactions over ৳10,000

This contextual awareness is why 84% of users enable auto-approvals within 14 days – the system learns their actual business rules.

Getting Started

Test the integration risk-free:
1. Sign up for ApproveThis (14-day trial)
2. Book a live demo to replicate your exact aamarPay workflows
3. Use shared templates to go live in one business day

For existing Zapier users: Import our pre-built aamarPay connector from the template library.

Final Note: The Hidden Advantage

Companies using both platforms report an unexpected benefit – cleaner aamarPay data. Since every transaction now requires purpose-driven approvals, finance teams automatically capture:
- Project codes
- Department allocations
- Vendor categories
No more end-of-month guesswork. That alone saves 160+ hours annually for mid-sized firms.
