Overview of PayNow
PayNow is an extension of Abacus Payment Exchange (APX) that lets firms designate certain invoices to be paid through an email link to the APX payment system. This allows the firm’s clients to pay invoices directly, rather than requiring the firm to take the payment information and handle payment processing.
A few things to note when billing with PayNow:
-
PayNow requests are only generated for the total new charges on the invoice. If the invoice also has a prior balance due, that amount is NOT included in the total sent to the client to pay. Use any previous PayNow links to pay these invoices (if still valid) or pay via other means if not.
-
PayNow links expire after 60 days. After this, the bill can no longer be paid via the link.
-
When unposting a bill, if that bill has a pending (i.e., not yet paid) PayNow request, it will be deleted from the server, which deactivates the link.
-
Prior to version 23.32.16, trust funds need to be transferred from operating to the trust account. Some states do not allow trust funds to be deposited in operating accounts. Check your local state laws.
