July 3rd, 2007

Get your invoices paid faster by accepting payments online with credit cards or PayPal.

Authorize.net

Authorize.net allows you to accept credit card payments directly from your clients from the Cashboard interface.

When you send an invoice to a client online they will be able to enter their payment information directly into Cashboard. Cashboard will record a record of the payment and email a notification to you.

The funds go directly into your bank account, usually the next business day.

PayPal

Choosing PayPal Website Payments Pro as your payment solution will allow you to process credit cards directly inside Cashboard, and also allow you to accept transfers from PayPal accounts.

Choosing PayPal Website Payments Standard as your payment solution will redirect your clients to the PayPal website to complete their transaction. Payments can still be automatically entered into Cashboard upon success, but it requires a little configuration on your part.
