Accepting Payments with Pay Later

Get paid 100% of your legal fees upfront while offering your clients the flexibility of an automated payment plan.

Updated this week

Overview

Pay Later is a legal fee lending solution designed to bridge the gap between firm cash flow and client affordability. You receive the full invoice or trust amount immediately, and the lending partner handles the collection of installments.


πŸš€ How It Works for Your Clients

Once you have set up Pay Later, the process is seamless for the payer:

  1. View Bill: The client clicks the link to pay their invoice or trust request.

  2. Select Method: On the payment screen, they will see Pay Later as a payment option.

  3. Apply: The client selects Begin Process to start the quick application and financing flow.


⚠️ Important Visibility Note

To maintain security and proper lending workflows, the "Pay Later" button has specific visibility rules:

  • Visible to: Clients only (when accessing the public payment page).

  • Hidden from: Attorneys and firm staff. If you navigate to a payment page internally, you will not see the Pay Later option.
