Billpower helps you easily process  Xero credit card payments

Getting aid quickly is the aim of Billpower and this is achieved through combining the intelligence of Xero to take credit card payments with the account management side of Billpower. Your customers can choose a range of payment methods to finalise their payments once you have provided a service or product.

For businesses that already use Xero for their accounting package, you will be aware that it is a very easy to use application. With Billpower, we have taken the ease of Xero and added a user-friendly payment platform.

One of the best things of Billpower’s many useful functions is the ability to take credit card payments by simply taking a photo of the card. The powerful integrated banking interface will do the rest. This is perfect when you don’t need to send a tax invoice, but you just want to issue a proof of payment.

If you run a business where you provide an onsite service, Billpower’s Xero credit card payments function eliminates the need for fancy equipment and printers. All you need is a Smartphone, and the Xero accounting app on board. Your phone will act like a point of sale terminal.

 

By using Billpower’s banking function, you can then email a receipt to your customer.  For customers who want a tax invoice, you can send one with your customised branding. The customer can use the ‘pay it now’ function on the invoice, or click through a link on an email to your business’ own URL branded
with your company name.

The customer can choose several payment methods including credit card, direct debit, EFT or PayPal, and they can choose part payments across each type of payment if cash is tight in any one account. When deciding how to pay, the customer can even set up automatic direct debit from their credit card to cover
future bills.

Convenience of mobile payments

When you put your mind to it, it makes sense to have Billpower for any mobile payment. If you are a contractor out on the road, you don’t have time to go home and start sending invoices from your  desktop. Let Xero’s quick invoicing do this straight from the palm of your hand.

 

The consumer receives the invoice and because it is so easy to make a payment, they will usually pay straight away. The money is processed by their bank and sent to yours within 1-2 business days.

 

By using Billpower’s easy to navigate payment portal, you can provide incentives to help customers pay earlier, even before it falls due. Customers will receive your invoice and they can choose a range of payment methods. Best of all, they don’t need to leave the payment screen to complete the transaction. No more forgotten logins!

 

With Billpower, your customers can either click on your unique payment URL, where they enter the invoice number and continue along to payment.

As their details are saved in your system, once they go to the payment portal, they will see all previous and outstanding invoices. They can choose to pay one or all of them. They can also make part payments which although is not ideal, sometimes it is better than not having any money from them.

If payment has not been received, the system can be set up to send automatic reminders, and if necessary add additional surcharges for late payments.

 

Win-Win XERO credit card payments

As you can see, with Billpower, you can get payment from your customers in so many different ways. With the integrated Xero functionalities, you can even ask for payment when no invoice is necessary. You can send the link to the payment address, and they will pay.

This is ideal for food van vendors, personal trainers, market stalls. In this case, with the inbuilt camera effectively taking payment on the go, it is like having your own paywave machine, without the steep and ongoing merchant facility fees that banks charge.

Seen enough?
