Simplified Invoice Management — Centralize your invoice management into one intuitively simple dashboard. Everything you need is in one place.

Save on Fees

Choose Who Pays the Fee — A small percentage can add up on large transactions. With Pay Theory, you can select who incurs the processing fees on an invoice-by-invoice basis.

Payments All Families Can Access

Inclusive Payments — Add the ability for your customers to pay with cash online anywhere with Remote Cash Acceptance. Your customer selects the cash option and they are issued a barcode for their payment. Then they can take it to one of the 65,000+ retail partners in our network and pay in person.

Better User Experiences

Select Payment Options — Credit, ACH (eCheck), Remote Cash Acceptance. When you create invoices, you can select just one, two, or all three payment options that you want to give your customers.

Get Started
Can I record in-person payments?

Yes indeed. Our invoice tool is built to accept payments online and in person. While we do offer terminals, they are not required for accepting payments in person.

What’s the difference between interchange and service fee?

As it applies to the invoicing tool, interchange means the merchant pays the fee while service fee means the person paying the invoice will pay the fee. Fee pricing models are complicated. We encourage you to fill out the form below if you are interested in learning more. Someone from our team will follow up with you on your inquiry.

Thank you! Your submission has been received.

Do you have added security for sensitive invoices?

While our security measures are already top-of-the-line, we do offer an added level of security for invoices. You may choose to include a PIN with your invoice adding a layer of security and/or privacy.

What security measures are used to ensure payment information is secure?

We are PCI level 1 complaint. This is the highest security level a company can achieve. When you work with us, our security standards are passed down to you. You can learn more about PCI compliance here.
