Accept Online Account Balance Payments from Customers

Starting today, your customers can make payments towards their current account balance, instead of paying each invoice one-by-one. This new feature allows customers to send you one larger payment, and then that payment gets applied automatically to open invoices in their account.

Tell Me More...

Here are a few things to keep in mind for this new feature

  • Your account must be enabled to process credit card payments through Authorize.net or Card Connect
  • The current balance amount that appears to your customers will only include invoices that are pay-online-enabled
    • If an invoice is not enabled for "Online Payment", the remaining balance of that invoice will not be included in the current balance amount that appears on the online payment form
  • When a user submits a payment, it will be applied to all unpaid invoices automatically, from oldest to newest by invoice date

How Does This Feature Work?

For your customers to use this feature, here are the steps:

What I Need to Do What My Customers Need to Do

Send A Statement

Send your customer(s) a statement using one of these methods:

    1. Send Statements in Bulk by Print or Email
    2. Send Statements to Individual Customers by Print or Email

Watch For the Payment Received Email

After your customer pays, you will receive an email from ServiceCore that informs you that you have received a payment, like in this example:

Review the Payment

Once you receive the email, you can visit the customer details page for this customer and navigate to Accounting > Payments to view more payment information, and to see which invoices were paid.

Find Their Pay Online ID

Once your customer receives the statement, they will need to:

  1. Look for the Pay Online ID at the top of the page

Email Activity Report

We have some exciting news for customers that process payments in currencies other than US Dollars. (We're looking at you, Canada!) You can now process credit cards in your currency of choice through ServiceCore and use Clover Connect (formerly CardConnect) as your processor.
