Pros from Real Users Pros Clients can immediately see why their payment isn't going through and fix it and the portal is simple so, less confusion, more successful payments. The added ability to pay online via check is a game-changer. From the other side, I like that it's a better looking receipt, a simple access, and connects seamlessly with MyCase. Fully integrated, has nearly all of the tools you need to run a professional services firm's practice. Support is super-fast, and they take care of issues quickly, if they arise. We've had an excellent experience using LawPay and have found it to be one of the most reliable and user-friendly payment solutions available for law firms. The customer support team is consistently friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, making it easy to resolve questions or issues quickly. The platform itself is intuitive for both our staff and our clients, which has streamlined our payment process and reduced the need for assistance. One of the things we appreciate most is that LawPay continues to innovate. They are constantly introducing new features and enhancements that improve the overall customer experience. In addition, their frequent online training sessions and live webinars are extremely helpful for keeping firms informed about new tools and best practices. Another standout feature is the integration with Affirm financing, which gives our clients greater flexibility when paying for legal services. This has been a valuable option for many of our clients. We also appreciate that LawPay waives the program fee, helping to keep overall costs reasonable. Wow, I was skeptical on this process, but I now see how I can get rid of my credit card machine & email invoices to clients that can even pay the invoice ONLINE on their own phones. 1.) No need for a credit card machine. 2.) A CPAcharge invoice can be prepared, sent in an email with my normal bill for services as an0 attachment. 3.) Clients seem to like the email rather than having to use a credit card reader. Thank you... I love the ease of utilizing LAWPAY for processing payments in our firm. The system provides transparency and also the report feature is a bonus that we rely on each day to show a snapshot of how our small practice is thriving! The website is easy to navigate for reviewing transactions, printing lists of transactions, etc. With the integration through our Practice Panther service, it is easy to pay partial or complete payments on invoices. We tried another service, but came back to Lawpay because it was less expensive and easier! Easy for clients to access and pay without us getting involved. We can also log in and make payment using Client Bank information The ease of this program, once you get integrated, and how easy it is to track billable items and its organization of all client information. Access Anywhere Cloud‑based platform accessible from any device. All‑in‑one workflow automation, robust document and calendar management, and built‑in billing, invoicing. I like that the product continues to update/adapt/improve, including the new payment.charge input page.
