Portal home page

To pay their bill, the customer would select the Pay Outstanding Bills button, then the Add Bank Account button to add banking information. If Credit cards are being accepted, the option can be chosen from the drop down menu under "Pay From", then added using the blue button.

Note: The customer will be unable to enter banking information if no bank account has been established on the receiving end.

Paying invoices

• Choose account: Select the account to pay from if more than one
• Pay On: The date the payment will be debited from their account
• Total Payment: We default the full amount of the invoice, your customer can decrease the amount to make a partial payment
• Select Pay to pay the invoice

Your customer will receive an email notification confirming they scheduled a payment.
