A Payment Gateway Link on Your Website
Make your life easier by having your clients login to a secure payment portal and knock out their invoices in just a matter of clicks. You’ll have detailed reports for you to inventory your project flow, file your taxes, and review the volume you process. Also, this provides your clients a convenient way to handle their payment without making you chase down a lost check.

Automatic Invoicing and Reminders
Even though a couple clicks isn’t too much effort, we know that people are still prone to forgetting. Mobile point-of-sale (POS) systems have integrative features to send invoices and reminders automatically. By automating your payment process you’ll create an easy-to-track paper trail and avoid the headache of back and forth email conversations.
