How do online payments work?

Online Payment Processing Setup
Enabling online payments through the Bill4Time Client Portal is a quick and easy way to accept credit card payments from your clients. (Please click here to learn about setting up your Client Portal.)

Once you've enabled online payments, your clients will see a "Pay Now" button on your invoices, within the Client Portal. When clicking this button, they will have the option to pay the invoice amount, pay their entire account balance, or designate a custom amount of their choosing.

Standard Payment Processing Options
Currently, Bill4Time integrates with and supports Stripe, PayPal, LawPay.

• LawPay: Click here to set up your LawPay account
• Bill4Time currently has a special partner promotion with LawPay! (Click here to find out how to get the $20 monthly fee waived when setting up a new LawPay account.)
• Stripe: Click here to set up your Stripe account
• PayPal: Click here to set up your PayPal account

When your client makes a payment using one of these methods, the funds will be deposited into whichever bank account you have linked to your chosen payment processor. This payment will also be posted to your clients' accounting tab within Bill4Time and will deduct from their outstanding balance.

Custom Payment Processing Options
Bill4Time also offers the option to use your own Custom Payment Processor, by linking to a custom URL.

When your client makes a payment using this method, the funds will be deposited into whichever bank account you have linked to your custom payment processor. However, the payment will not be automatically be reflected in Bill4Time, since custom payment processors are not fully integrated with Bill4Time and cannot communicate directly with our servers. You will need to manually receive/apply this payment, once you've verified that the payment has reached your bank account.
