Xero Direct Debit Billpower - Get Xero invoices paid faster by credit card!

Quick and reliable payments with Billpower’s Xero Direct Debit

If you are like most small business owners, the one commodity that you wish you had a bottomless supply of, is time. There are never enough minutes in the day to keep up with orders, marketing campaigns, tax obligations and chasing customers’ payments. What if we told you we could virtually eliminate the latter?

Ok, so you run a small business and you like using Xero for your accounting system because it is easy and quick to use. You like the fact that you can virtually duplicate a customer’s previous invoice and maybe just change the date.

Well, it just got even easier to get paid. Billpower has created a payment platform that syncs with Xero Direct Debit. This is a great way to be reliably paid as bills fall due. It just makes sense to make it simple, and we have.

Customers sometimes take a while to test a new platform. However, we are confident that when they experience how easy it is to pay you, from a range of payment methods, they will want to start using the direct debit option more and more often.

Billpower has been built with small (or even micro) business owners in mind so you won’t have to wait weeks to set up a merchant facility with your bank. Signing up is easy and you will be able to send invoices and accept payment within 2 business days.

We don’t charge ongoing fees but a small surcharge on each transaction. You can choose to pay this or pass it on to the customer.

Convenient payments with no ongoing fees

We realise that most people use their smartphones for everything. So we have built the platform with the user interface that suits mobile computing. Once you have sent the bill, the consumer will get an email with the payment link.

They can choose from credit card, direct debit, PayPal or EFT. If you have a regular billing cycle with your customers for regular work, they can sign up for direct debit and have it paid the day that you raise the Xero invoice.

Some of the great features of Billpower include branding your invoices with your logo, as well as having a dedicated and unique URL for payments. You can even send the URL by SMS or IM to customers and they can open it to the same payment page no matter where the invoice was sent.

Customers are linked in the back-end, and all their invoices are kept there. No login is necessary as we have thought of everything to minimise delays in this secure payment system. Because it is so easy to convert to Xero direct debit for your customers, you will find that many customers will choose to set it up as soon as they open the first invoice.

Money in your bank within two business days

Apart from all the other whizz-bang features that Billpower has developed, at the end of the day, we know it will improve your cash flow overnight. Payments are generally reconciled and processed within two business days and you don’t have to spend time sending out receipts; they are sent automatically when payment is made by the consumer.

We believe we have built a payment solution that will give you back the time you lose in chasing customers for money. No one likes doing it. Now with Billpower’s Xero Direct Debit option, you may never have to again. Just imagine pouring that time into growing your business, with improved cash flow.

Try our demo for yourself

The easiest way for you to fully understand how Billpower’s simple elegance will work for you and your business is to request a demo invoice. We’ll email it to you immediately. It gives you a good insight into how your customers would react to receiving an invoice from you. You can see that setting up a Xero direct debit is fantastically easy and people will wonder how internet banking is so old.

You’ll be able to see that in the body of the email, the customer can click on the payment link, or can open up a “pay now’ button from the attached PDF. Your customer will see a list of all their outstanding invoices prior to payment. They can select which ones to pay and proceed to pay. There are no disputes regarding which one was paid.

Keeping records together in this manner is great for customers and businesses alike as it cuts down a lot of emails back and forth, as well as time wasted over the phone trying to sort out bills. The way the invoices and payments are set out, any sort of error input by the customer is minimised.
