Payment Portal

Chaser’s Payment Portal allows your customers to view their invoices and pay directly through Chaser invoice reminders. Below we’ll explain step by step how to set up and customise the payment portal:

What is the Payment Portal?

The Chaser Payment Portal provides your customers with a single, transparent place to view and pay for their outstanding invoices. 

Once you have set up the portal in Chaser, your customers will be able to pay for their invoices through the portal via credit/debit card or via bank transfer.

Setting up the Payment Portal will help decrease your Days versus Due Date (DvD), boost your cashflow and as your customers have complete visibility of their account it will save you time through minimising the bureaucratic reasons for late payment.

3. Click 'Authorise access to this account'.

Once you have connected your payment platform to your Chaser payment portal, your customers will be able to pay for their invoices via credit or debit card directly through the portal. **

Multiple currency support

If your organisation has customers who pay in different currencies, the Payment Portal will ensure that invoices payments are registered in the correct payment accounts. Simple click ‘Add payment account’ to add your additional accounts, at one account per currency.

I have connected multiple stripe accounts, what will my customer see?

In order to ensure that the correct invoices are paid into the correct accounts, you customer will see the following behaviour when in Payment Portal, where multiple stripe accounts have been added:

1. Selecting to pay a single invoice or multiple invoices in the same currency with a connected stripe account

• The customer will see a 'Pay with card' option and be able to make the payment via stripe

2. Selecting to pay multiple invoices in different currencies (with connected currency accounts)

• The customer will see a 'Pay with card' option but this will be disabled

3. Where all invoices are in a currency that are not supported 

• The customer will not see the 'Pay with Card' button in the payment portal

Using your portal

Once you have set up your payment portal, you can start sending the portal to your customers straight away. There are two ways to share a payment portal with a customer:

1. By copying the portal link from the customer's page in Chaser:
   
2. By inserting the portal link into your Chaser templates:
