The problem

The cost of getting paid for work you already did.

Large invoices on cards

Fees are a percentage, and business invoices aren't small. A big invoice means a big fee.

Chasing late payments

Staff chasing reminders and follow-up calls instead of doing the work clients pay for.

Manual reconciliation

Payments typed into the books by hand.

Business cards cost more

Business and corporate cards carry higher card fees, but some qualify for lower rates when invoice details are sent with the payment.

Most popular options

The billing setups we put in most.

We recommend the setup that best fits how your firm bills. These are the three firms pick most.

Pricing options

Three ways to price a firm.

Firms that invoice other businesses usually fit interchange-plus: one price for every client and a fixed, visible markup. We price it from your last 2 statements and show it next to what you pay now.

$0-fee option

Dual pricing

Two prices on every ticket: one for cash, one for card. Card customers cover the card cost. The card price applies to all cards, debit included.

Example: an invoice with a $1,000.00 cash price shows a $1,040.00 card price, a 4% difference. This is an example, not a quote. Your card price is set when we set up your program.

How dual pricing works →

$0-fee option

Cash discount

One posted price, with a discount for customers who pay cash. We set up the signage and receipts so it's clear at checkout.

Cash discount vs. dual pricing →

One price for everyone

Interchange-plus

You pay what the card networks charge, plus a fixed markup you can see on every statement. Your customers see one price.

What is interchange-plus? →

Not sure which fits? Send your last 2 statements. We price each option against what you pay now and show you the difference in dollars.

What we handle

Billing that matches how a firm gets paid.

Firms bill by invoice and retainer, not at a counter. Plenty of processors still set you up like a store. We set you up like a firm.

Retainers

Take a retainer by card or payment link when the engagement starts.

Scheduled billing

Recurring billing for retainers and monthly services. The client approves once and payments run on schedule.

Virtual terminal

Phone and mail payments from a browser through Hyfin or gateways like Authorize.net, NMI, or Fluidpay. Hyfin shows each client's past-due balance, so you can collect it in the same call.

Bank-to-bank payments for invoices you'd rather not put on a card.

Common questions

Straight answers.

What is interchange-plus?

You pay the card networks' actual cost plus our fixed markup. Both show on your statement. Your clients see one price and you cover the fee.

Can I take payments without a terminal?

Yes. A virtual terminal takes phone and mail payments from a browser, and invoices can be paid by link.

Is there a contract?

The processing agreement we set up is month-to-month, with no cancellation fee.

Can clients pay invoices online?

Yes. Invoices go out by text or email with a payment link, and clients can pay by card or ACH.
