Frequently Asked Questions

How does contractor payment processing work?

Payments are usually built into invoicing: the customer pays a card or bank payment from the invoice online or in person, and it reconciles automatically.

What do payment fees look like?

Processing fees vary by provider and plan and change over time. Confirm current rates directly with the vendor before committing.
