Our process ID800 will email invoices as they become past due, we are expanding that to allow you to also send when created or as needed. We can add a link to allow your customers to pay the invoices online + a barcode on the invoice. We are partnered with www.nmi.com and the link will allow your customers to pay with either a credit card or ACH, no advance setup for your customers is needed. CEO Juice clients will need to onboard with NMI. We will show ACH as free and add a fee to the credit card option to cover your cost. Check with your state to confirm this is legal for you.

Note: To create an account to allow you to pay multiple invoices, store payment info and to set up auto pay the email used to create the account must be one that we email invoices to.

We will email your customer to confirm their auto pay is set up, email them the day before the auto pay runs. We will also email when a payment is processed.
