  • The client can pay the full amount due or select Pay another amount and enter a lesser amount. The client cannot pay more than the total due for the link.
  • If multiple payment methods are permitted for this link, the client will be prompted to select a payment method. Depending on the payment method selected, the client will be prompted to enter either card or bank account information.
  • If surcharging is enabled and the client enters a credit card number, a notice will be shown with the surcharge amount and a new total.

    • A receipt with this information will be emailed to the client at the email address they submitted.
    • The firm will receive an email alert for each completed payment. You can update the email alert setting by navigating to Settings > Firm Settings > Payment Notifications.

Please note: If surcharging is enabled, the surcharge will always be added to the operating amount, even if that surcharge was a result of amounts due on the trust account. If the link has no operating amount designated, the payment will be split, and the surcharge amount will be processed as a separate transaction. All surcharges are deposited into the operating account before being withdrawn for monthly processing fees.
