FousTipalti Supplier Hub

Get your Tipalti payment statuses through an API

Read your Payment History, Invoice History and Payment Details from the Tipalti Supplier Hub with one API call each. A workflow can check your payments every weekday morning and post the ones marked Paid to your accounting system.

Works with your own Tipalti Supplier Hub account. Fous is an independent product.

Automate the Supplier Hub with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get payment history” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "suppliers.tipalti.com/get_payment_history",
    "input": {
      "from_date": "2026-10-01"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "payments": [
      {
        "payment_date": "2026-11-06",
        "amount": 8420,
        "currency": "USD",
        "status": "Paid",
        "invoices": [
          {
            "invoice_number": "NW-2291",
            "amount": 5100
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

The Supplier Hub’s own options

Tipalti's REST API and iFrames are used by the company that pays you: it creates payees, invites them to the Supplier Hub and creates invoices, and it can embed Invoice History and Payment History in its own website. Tipalti documents no API for payees. As a payee you use the Supplier Hub and the payment status emails.

Signing in to the Supplier Hub

You register through your payer's emailed invitation by creating a password, then sign in with the Supplier Hub login link your payer gives you. Some updates ask for two-factor authentication. With Fous you sign in once through the Supplier Hub's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Your payer decides what you see
The Payment History tab appears only if your payer has enabled it, and the payment methods offered are the ones your payer made available. Invoice approval, payment timing and amounts are set by the payer.
Deferred means blocked before the bank
A Deferred payment was stopped before bank submission because of missing tax forms, invalid banking details or a compliance hold. Rejected marks returned funds.
The login link, not the invitation
Registration links are temporary and stop working once used. Only your payer can change your Supplier Hub login email, which may differ from the email in your contact details.
One payment can cover several invoices
Payment History shows the invoices that make up each payment, so the payment history method you build can return them with every payment, to match against your receivables.

Frequently asked questions

Not for payees. Tipalti's REST API and iFrames are used by the company that pays you, to create and invite payees, create invoices and show Invoice History and Payment History in its own website. As a payee you have the Supplier Hub itself and the payment status emails.

Look at the Payment History tab in the Supplier Hub, if your payer has enabled it. Each payment shows a status: Scheduled, Processing, Sent to payee, Paid, Deferred or Rejected. Tipalti notes that funds may not appear in your account immediately after a payment is marked Paid.

The payment was blocked before it reached the bank, because of missing tax forms, invalid banking details or a compliance hold. You can update tax forms on the Tax Forms tab and bank details in Payment Details, and ask your payer about anything else.

The W-9, W-8BEN and W-8BEN-E, on the Tax Forms tab, where you pick the form and select Complete form. On a W-9, the name on line 1 must match the name tied to the SSN or EIN in IRS records. If you cannot edit or resubmit a form, contact your payer.

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own Supplier Hub account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.
