The problem
Nobody likes writing reminders
The invoice sent at the end of the month, the payment that arrives after sixty days, and in between it’s up to you to write the reminder in just the right tone. Plus the appointments cancelled at the last minute.
With a digital invoice the client pays with one click instead of copying an IBAN. With a deposit taken at booking, the appointment becomes a real commitment. And at the end of the session you take TWINT or card, no cash.
How you get paid
Every way your work gets paid
Fees, deposits, subscriptions and in-practice payments, all in the same account.
The invoice that pays itself
A digital invoice with a "Pay online" button: the client chooses TWINT, card or another method and pays in two taps.
The appointment deposit
A payment link or a pre-authorisation at booking. Fewer last-minute cancellations.
Subscriptions and retainers
Session packages or monthly retainers that renew themselves, with no invoices to redo every month.
At the end of the session
In your practice, at a client's home or remotely: take payments in the browser with the virtual terminal or on your Android with Tap to Pay.
Getting started
From here to getting paid: three steps
1. Sign up
E-mail, name, and your account is open. A few minutes, no credit card. Verification usually comes within one working day.
2. Set up what you need
You create your invoice template, deposit links and subscription packages. You can do this while verification is under way, so you start the same day.
3. Get paid and keep everything in order
Every payment arrives with name, amount and method. The money goes to your account every week, and at year end you export everything in one click.
