HOW CORD WORKS

From proposal to payment, step by step.

Cord is a quote-to-cash platform: it takes every sale from proposal to payment in a single link. You build the quote, your client opens it without creating an account, approves it with an electronic signature and pays online by card or, in beta, by ACH Direct Debit or bank transfer with a reference. The invoice and collections come from the same sale, with nothing retyped.

How a sale closes in Cord

Six connected steps in one link. What you enter when you quote reaches the payment, the invoice and collections untouched.

  1. Build the proposal

    Pick the client and add products from your catalog, or paste their request and let AI suggest the lines. Cord calculates each line’s tax, the discounts and the total in your client’s currency, with your logo and colors.

  2. Send one link

    Share the proposal by email, WhatsApp or wherever you already talk to your client. They open it on any device, with no account and nothing to download, and Cord alerts you when they open it; from Professional you see every visit and how much they read.

  3. Your client approves with a signature

    Your client reviews every line item, comments or proposes another price, and approves with their name. Cord records the date, the IP and a SHA-256 fingerprint of the accepted version as evidence of the electronic signature.

  4. Get paid in the same link

    Once they approve, your client pays right there by card or, in beta, by ACH Direct Debit or bank transfer with a reference. Ask for the full amount or a deposit, or sell on credit with your payment terms.

  5. Issue the invoice

    With the sale approved or paid, one button issues the invoice with the same client, the same line items and each line’s tax. It goes out as a standard invoice, with your own numbering and the sales tax on each line. It is emailed with the PDF and its own payment link.

  6. Collect what is still owed

    If the invoice stays open, Cord sends reminders before and after the due date and accepts partial payments against the real balance. From the Professional plan you get a receivables aging view, and an AI agent writes to each overdue account and, on quote balances, can propose payment plans within the rules you set.

What holds every step together.

The same rules on every sale, in any of the countries where Cord operates.

12 countries, 14 currencies

Quote in your client’s currency with the exchange rate locked when you quote. Each account uses its own country’s taxes, tax ID and bank account format.

Prices with rules

Price lists by client tier, and gross margin live as you quote. On the Scale plan, a quote that exceeds your discount cap or minimum margin waits for approval before it goes out.

The history of every sale

Every quote keeps its versions and its timeline: sent, viewed, approved, paid and invoiced. When someone asks what was accepted and when, the answer is on the document.

Connected to your systems

HubSpot, your accounting, Slack and Microsoft Teams get every change without anyone retyping it. For the rest, a REST API, signed webhooks and Zapier, Make or n8n.
