Wholesale AR for K-beauty brands
RetailPath runs accounts receivable for K-beauty brands at Ulta Beauty, Target, CVS, and Walmart. Apply every payment, recover invalid deductions and unpaid invoices, and know what each retailer owes, without adding work for your team.
Cash posted to your ERP. Both invalid deductions are queued for dispute with proof attached.
One AR process
RetailPath brings together the work that usually lives in separate spreadsheets: applying cash, recovering deductions, chasing unpaid invoices, and reporting to HQ.
Match every retailer payment to its invoices, give every short-pay a reason, and post clean cash to your ERP.
Check each deduction against shipment proof and dispute the invalid ones with the evidence attached.
Find invoices a retailer never paid and file for them before the window closes.
See what is open, paid, short-paid, and in dispute at every retailer, plus the DCs and root causes behind repeat losses.
Why K-beauty brands choose RetailPath
K-beauty brands often scale across many SKUs, several retailers, and teams in two countries. That is exactly where payments go unmatched and revenue slips through.
Your team may sit in Seoul while remittances and claims land on U.S. time. RetailPath applies cash and works disputes in the background, so nothing waits on the next overnight email.
0 hours a month managing Target disputes at Unlockt
Importers and growth partners often run several K-beauty brands under one vendor number. RetailPath keeps every payment, claim, and outcome in one place.
Unlockt runs a multi-brand Target vendor on RetailPath
Toners, serums, and sheet masks sell at accessible price points, so short-pays are small and easy to write off. RetailPath explains each one and disputes valid claims of any size.

Case studies
Recovered in the first six months
K-beauty growth partner · Target
Unlockt helps international brands, with a strong focus on K-beauty, succeed in U.S. mass retail. As a multi-brand Target vendor, deductions and unpaid invoices piled up and the team had a near 0% dispute rate. RetailPath connected Unlockt’s 3PL and Target Partners Online and began disputing every invalid claim with the right proof.

Personal care · Rael
Rael tracked deductions in a spreadsheet, dug through email for signed BOLs, and waited days on its 3PL for documents. RetailPath now files every dispute automatically, including re-disputes of claims that were auto-closed for missing proof.
| Metric | Before | With RetailPath |
|---|---|---|
| Dispute rate | 22% | 100% |
| Win rate | 42% | 95% |

How it works
Connect retailer portals, remittances, EDI, your 3PL, and your ERP. Most brands go live in under one week.
Payments match to open invoices, every short-pay gets a reason, and invalid deductions and unpaid invoices are flagged with proof.
Disputes are filed before the deadline, recoveries post back to AR, and your ERP and HQ reporting stay in sync.
