What is InvoiceShelf?

InvoiceShelf 3.0 alphas add bills and suppliers, moving it from invoicing into payables.

Five InvoiceShelf 3.0 alphas shipped in five days. alpha.11 added purchasing (suppliers, bills, supplier credits, payments and refunds) and patched two unauthenticated PHP remote code execution flaws in the Docker image. Later alphas added module API 1.4 with bundled dependencies, EN 16931 e-invoicing with ZUGFeRD / Factur-X hybrid PDFs, a notification bell with automatic payment reminders, and an iOS app headed for TestFlight.

What is Treasury Prime?

BaaS infrastructure platform in steady operational-polish mode — ACH reliability, Prime Data fields, Console workflow upgrades.

Treasury Prime is a banking-as-a-service infrastructure platform serving banks and fintechs. The visible window is dominated by operational polish — flexible ACH return filing, transaction-table filters and sorting, ACH trace numbers exposed in both API and the Snowflake-based Prime Data mart, and a beta payment-limit notifications surface in the Console.

InvoiceShelf vs Treasury Prime: editorial side-by-side

I6.3

InvoiceShelf 3.0 alphas add bills and suppliers, moving it from invoicing into payables.

◆ Current state

Five InvoiceShelf 3.0 alphas shipped in five days. alpha.11 added purchasing (suppliers, bills, supplier credits, payments and refunds) and patched two unauthenticated PHP remote code execution flaws in the Docker image. Later alphas added module API 1.4 with bundled dependencies, EN 16931 e-invoicing with ZUGFeRD / Factur-X hybrid PDFs, a notification bell with automatic payment reminders, and an iOS app headed for TestFlight.

◆ Where it's heading

3.0 is turning InvoiceShelf from an invoice generator into a small-business accounting app: payables next to receivables, EU-compliant e-invoices, a module ecosystem, and native mobile apps. The pace suggests the team is finishing features before a beta rather than stabilizing.

◆ Prediction

Expect more alphas filling in accounting pieces and modules built on API 1.4/1.5, with the iOS app appearing on TestFlight; the entries don't show a beta date.

T5.0

BaaS infrastructure platform in steady operational-polish mode — ACH reliability, Prime Data fields, Console workflow upgrades.

◆ Current state

Treasury Prime is a banking-as-a-service infrastructure platform serving banks and fintechs. The visible window is dominated by operational polish — flexible ACH return filing, transaction-table filters and sorting, ACH trace numbers exposed in both API and the Snowflake-based Prime Data mart, and a beta payment-limit notifications surface in the Console.

◆ Where it's heading

The throughline is closing edge-case operational gaps for bankers and reconciliation teams. Each release fixes a specific manual workaround (duplicate ACH returns, missing account.status, missing FedNow reject reasons) or surfaces an existing field where it was previously unavailable (trace_number, closed_date, DW_UPDATED_TS). Snowflake migration of Prime Data continues underneath. No directional pivots — pure platform hardening.

◆ Prediction

Expect more Beta-tier surfaces (notifications, changelog inbox) graduating to GA as customer feedback firms up. Continued ACH and FedNow workflow refinement, and Prime Data field-by-field expansion to reach API parity. The Snowflake-only future after V1 deprecation shapes upcoming data work.
