BillQuick - Paypal
Integration
Back in 1998 BQE
Software introduced the concept of sending your
invoice automatically via email to your customers.
This feature was well received by BillQuick users
all over the world. The purpose behind this feature
was to make it easy for your customers to review and
approve your invoice and get it to their in-box
several days ahead of the hard copy.
Carrying on with
the same concept of getting you paid faster, BQE
software Inc. has once again added a powerful
feature to BillQuick that makes it extremely easy
for your customers to pay your invoice. When a
BillQuick invoice is sent via email, an embedded
link in the invoice electronic file will allow your
customer to pay your invoice via credit card or
direct bank transfer using
Paypal. Having a
Paypal account is not required for your customer. As
long as they have a credit card or a bank account,
they can pay your invoice in a matter of few
seconds. This should reduce your accounts receivable
time by several weeks.
Values it brings
to your business:
- Quick
turn-around for your invoices.
- Ability to
accept payments via credit card and electronic
transfers. This is a big plus for small
businesses that do not normally qualify for
merchant service account.
- Your customer
can earn mileage, cash back etc by paying you
via credit card.
How exactly does
it work? The following steps will help you
configure BillQuick to allow you to accept payments
via Paypal:
With your
PayPal account and email address you can now receive
payments from your clients instantly. Just few steps
to set it up and you are integrated with PayPal.
Step 1: Sign up for a PayPal
Account
To employ this feature, you must
have a PayPal account. It can be a free Personal
PayPal account that allows you to receive payments
at no cost. See above figure.
Step 2: PayPal Settings in
BillQuick:
Once the PayPal account has been
created, enable the PayPal feature in BillQuick’s
System Settings. From the Settings menu select
System Settings and then the PayPal Settings tab.
Step 3: Email Invoice to your
Client:
The PayPal payment hyperlink will
be included on your Invoices that are sent as PDF
file attachments to your clients. Your client is a
click away from paying you instantly. They simply
click on the link to launch the PayPal online
payment page.
Step4: Client PayPal Payment
Screen:
Your client
is taken to a pre-filled payment screen with the
bill amount, your company name, Payment For, etc. If
your client has a PayPal account, they will login
and complete the payment. If not they will need to
create an account.
Step5: PayPal Payment Screen:
Here your client will provide the
required payment details and click on Continue
Checkout. In a few minutes payment is automatically
deposited in your account. Upon completion of the
process both you and your client are automatically
notified via email.
