About Evoke Pharma, Inc.

Evoke is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused primarily on the commercialization and development of drugs to treat GI disorders and diseases. The Company developed GIMOTI, a nasal spray formulation of metoclopramide, for the relief of symptoms associated with acute and recurrent diabetic gastroparesis in adults.

Diabetic gastroparesis is a GI disorder affecting millions of patients worldwide, in which the stomach takes too long to empty its contents resulting in serious GI symptoms as well as other systemic complications. The gastric delay caused by gastroparesis can compromise absorption of orally administered medications. Prior to FDA approval to commercially market GIMOTI, metoclopramide was only available in oral and injectable formulations and remains the only drug currently approved in the United States to treat gastroparesis.

REPAY Scales B2B Payments Offerings with Billtrust Partnership

REPAY Scales B2B Payments Offerings with Billtrust Partnership

Technology integration acceleratesREPAY’s virtual credit card adoption, enabling B2B customers to easily automate electronic payments to thousands of suppliers on Billtrust’s Business Payments Network

ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Repay Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: RPAY) (“REPAY”), a leading provider of vertically-integrated payment solutions, today announced a technology integration with Billtrust (NASDAQ: BTRS), a B2B accounts receivable automation and integrated B2B payments leader. Through REPAY’s participation in Billtrust’s Business Payments Network (BPN), REPAY’s corporate customers will instantly gain the ability to automate electronic payments to Billtrust’s vast network of suppliers, distributors and vendors – both accelerating and simplifying the payment process, while also further scaling adoption of virtual credit cards.

Traditionally, business buyers must work with each supplier individually to collect, verify, and securely store bank data in order to send payments electronically. REPAY’S B2B offerings, which include those from recent acquisitions, cPayPlus and CPS Payment Services, help automate those connections for tens of thousands of vendor relationships. The integration with Billtrust will expand REPAY’s reach to several thousand additional suppliers on the BPN, immediately streamlining the payments process for both buyers and their suppliers and enabling payments to be sent in the companies’ preferred formats, including virtual credit cards.

“Our goal is always to help our customers simplify and optimize their vendor payments by automating payments through a single interface. We believe our partnership with Billtrust will significantly bolster the adoption of electronic payments to suppliers who participate in the BPN,” said Darin Horrocks, Senior Vice President, B2B, at REPAY.
