ApproveThis manages your ChargeOver Integration approvals.

When Billing Meets Approvals: Why This Combo Works

Let's cut to the chase: billing systems suck at approvals. ChargeOver handles subscriptions and invoices like a pro, but when you need human sign-off on a discount, contract change, or new client onboarding? Cue the email chains, missed Slack messages, and spreadsheet trackers.

ApproveThis doesn't just add another layer - it becomes the connective tissue between your billing decisions and the people making them. Think of it as the traffic cop for your ChargeOver workflows:

• No more guessing who approved that 15% discount for Acme Corp
• Zero manual data entry between systems when deals get greenlit
• Automatic escalations when invoices hit risk thresholds

For companies scaling past 100 employees, this isn't about being fancy - it's about not letting billing approvals become the reason deals stall or revenue leaks.

Real-World Fixes for Teams Who Hate Paperwork

1. Kill Zombie Subscriptions Automatically

Here's a nightmare scenario: Your sales team offers a free trial extension to a client. They ghost. Finance never gets the memo. ChargeOver keeps billing them. Now you're dealing with chargebacks and angry CSAT scores.

The Fix: Connect ApproveThis denials to ChargeOver cancellations via Zapier. When a trial extension request gets rejected (with reasons logged), the subscription cancels automatically. No human needed to remember the 'why'.

Who wins: SaaS companies with tiered pricing, agencies managing client retainers, anyone with 'goodwill' offers that could backfire.

2. New Clients? No More Shadow Approvals

ChargeOver sees every new customer. But right now, your compliance team probably finds out via a monthly report - way too late to flag risky clients.

The Fix: Auto-create approval requests in ApproveThis for every new ChargeOver customer. Attach their contract terms, payment history, whatever compliance needs. Approvers get email links (no app login required) to yay/nay with comments.

Who wins: Fintechs, healthcare vendors, anyone in regulated industries where client vetting can't be an afterthought.

3. Quotes That Don't Get Stuck in Legal Limbo

Your sales team sends quotes via ChargeOver. Great. But when those quotes need legal review, it's back to forwarding PDFs and hoping someone replies before the prospect cools off.

The Fix: New ChargeOver quote? ApproveThis pings legal with the full context - payment terms, scope details, red flags. They approve/deny/renegotiate right from email. Approved quotes auto-update in ChargeOver without sales lifting a finger.

Who wins: Enterprise sales teams, custom service providers, anyone dealing with complex contracts.

The Hidden Perks (That Actually Matter)

Beyond the obvious time saves, this combo solves two ugly problems:

Audit Trails That Don't Lie

ChargeOver tracks money. ApproveThis tracks decisions. Together, you've got a full story when that VIP client claims "Nobody told me about the late fee!" Pull up the approval chain showing their team signed off on the policy change on [date].

External Approvers Without the License Fees

Client needs to approve a contract change? Vendor wants payment terms renegotiated? They don't need a ChargeOver login - just email access. ApproveThis handles the authentication, you avoid the security headache.

Setting This Up Without IT Involvement

If you can build a Zapier zap, you can do this. Seriously:

1. Connect ChargeOver and ApproveThis to Zapier (takes 3 minutes)
2. Pick your trigger (new customer, quote, invoice change)
3. Map the data fields that matter (customer ID, amount, terms)
4. Test with a real approval - tweak if needed

Pro tip: Start with one workflow (like subscription cancellations). Nail that, then expand. No need to boil the ocean day one.

Who Gets the Most Mileage?

Finance Teams

Stop being the 'bad guy' chasing down approvers. Set thresholds where invoices over $Xk auto-escalate to CFO review. Use calculated fields to flag discounts that dip below margin targets before approval even happens.

Sales Ops

Deal desks stuck in approval purgatory? Route contracts based on deal size - small stuff auto-approves, big deals hit the right execs. Sync approved quotes back to ChargeOver so renewals stay clean.

Legal & Compliance

Ever found a sketchy clause in a contract... after it's been billed? Bake your review checklists into ApproveThis templates. No more hoping sales remembers to ask.

This Isn't Magic (Just Smarter Work)

Let's be real - no integration fixes broken processes. But if your ChargeOver data is solid and your approval rules make sense, this combo removes the human errors killing your efficiency.

ApproveThis doesn't replace your team's judgment. It just makes sure their 'yes' or 'no' actually does something besides collect dust in an inbox.
