Turn Every Retailer into a 24/7 Ordering Channel
Interact Direct Orders gives your retail customers their own self-service portal to browse your live catalogue, place and repeat orders, track deliveries, view invoices, record payments, and pull a real-time statement — so your team stops taking orders by phone and starts growing the account.
Everything Your Retailers Need, Without Calling You
Give every outlet a secure login to your catalogue, their orders, their invoices, their payments and their account balance — with each transaction flowing straight into your back-office systems in real time.
Live Product Catalogue
Retailers search your full range by product, brand or category and see their own pricing, unit of measure and minimum order quantity before they commit.
Self-Service Ordering & Reordering
Add multiple SKUs to a cart, submit in seconds, and reorder from history — with saved delivery contacts, addresses and standing instructions pre-filled at checkout.
Order & Delivery Status Tracking
Every order moves from submitted to confirmed to fulfilled with confirmation dates and expected delivery dates visible — so nobody has to chase your office for an update.
Invoices, Payments & Statements
Retailers see every invoice with paid, outstanding and days-overdue status, record payments against them, and pull a live aging statement — 30, 60, 90+ days — exportable to CSV any time.
Online Payment Gateway
Retailers settle invoices on the spot by card or online banking through a secure Stripe checkout — the payment is matched to the invoice automatically, so collections land days earlier and reconciliation stops being manual.
Enterprise System Integration
Orders, invoices, payments, pricing and customer data sync both ways with your ERP, accounting and distribution systems — Autocount, SQL Accounting, UBS, MS Dynamics and SAP — so Direct Orders becomes your retailer-facing front door, not another system to reconcile.
Retailer Account Dashboards
Interact’s Retailer Account Dashboards turn every login into a clear picture of the relationship. Outstanding balance, overdue invoices, total invoiced year-to-date and orders confirmed but not yet billed are all on screen the moment a retailer signs in — alongside ordering trends and what they have been buying. Retailers self-serve the answers they used to phone in for, and your sales and finance teams get their day back.

Ordering and Tracking, Side by Side
The same portal your retailers order from is the one they track from — no separate app, no second login, no chasing your team for a status update.
Order from a live catalogue
Search and filter by brand or category, check MOQ and price per unit of measure, then add straight to cart — in list or grid view.
Track every order to fulfilment
Filter by status or date range, see confirmation and expected delivery dates at a glance, and export the full history to CSV.
Get Paid the Moment They Order
Direct Orders comes with a built-in online payment gateway, powered by Stripe. Retailers pay an invoice by card or online banking straight from the portal — no bank transfer screenshots, no reference numbers to chase, no waiting for the next collection run. Each successful payment is matched to its invoice, the balance updates instantly on the retailer’s statement, and your finance team sees a reconciled transaction instead of an unidentified deposit.
