Before you get started with online payments, you’ll want to set your clients up for success. This is done by customizing the client portal and activating the appropriate settings. Admin users can easily set up automatic invoice notifications for clients, control the client dashboard to make certain items viewable to the client such as payment history or current balances. Taking just a few moments to customize your client’s experience with the portal will allow for a more secure experience and enable them to pay you faster.
Sending invoices and your client’s experience (9:00)
Sending an invoice to your clients has never been easier! With Bill4Time Payments, you can easily create customized invoices that will display a “Pay Now” button, giving your client the prompt to securely pay online.

Clients have the option to pay with credit card, eCheck via bank sign-in or eCheck via account and routing numbers.
Access a high-level overview of your payments (13:00)
Once approved, you will notice a “Bill4Time Payments” tab within your Bill4Time account. In this tab, you can quickly monitor what payments are coming in and out. You’ll be able to see the status of individual payments, the amounts, and which project they originated from.
