Chasing after customers for payments can feel awkward and takes time that you could be spending on other things. Plus, late payments have a negative impact on your cash flow.
Getting paid on time and maintaining a healthy cash flow is how a business survives. Afterall it takes money to keep the doors open, employees paid and the lights on. According to a recent survey*, 62% of small businesses don’t think they could survive more than three months if their outstanding invoices were left unpaid.[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
Payment Services
[/fusion_text][fusion_text]The easier the payment method is the quicker your customers are most likely to pay you. Bringing a great experience to your customers from beginning to end should be a high priority for every business. A difficult or technical payment process will only encourage those who owe you to put it off for longer. So if their preference is to use Stripe or PayPal, then why not let them!
Adding payment services directly to your Xero online invoices gives your customers more ways to pay you. Xero data shows that customers with a ‘Pay Now’ button to take credit card payment with Stripe or via Paypal can get paid up to twice as fast as invoices without a payment option[/fusion_text][/one_full][one_fifth last=”no” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][/one_fifth][three_fifth last=”no” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][vimeo id=”100758812″ width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””][/vimeo][/three_fifth][one_fifth last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][/one_fifth][one_full last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_text]If you don’t have a payment service you can easily add one in your Xero account.
