The easiest way to make sure you get paid on time is to enroll your customer in autopay.

ServiceCore's Autopay feature will let you store a customer's card on file and use it on their recurring billing. Each time the customer gets a new invoice, the card on file will get charged. Simple as that!

In this article we'll walk through the steps to enable autopay for a customer.

Before You Start

Here are some things to know before you begin this process.

• In order to enable autopay for a customer, you must first be setup with one of our authorized payment processors: Clover Connect or Authorize.net. We recommend Clover Connect because it offers special rates for ServiceCore customers. For more information about Clover Connect and how you can use it along with ServiceCore, check out this page for more information.

• You will need to add a Credit or Debit Card to your customer's profile
• Autopay can only be used on Recurring Invoices
