Monthly service invoices, paid on approval

IT firms and managed service providers can collect monthly service invoices and project milestones by check draft: the client approves once for monthly drafts up to a cap, or approves each milestone, and the provider prints the drafts and deposits them, with no card or processor fees.

How do it and managed service providers usually get paid?

Many small and mid-size business clients still pay their IT provider by check every month. Each payment waits on the client's bookkeeper, a signer and the mail.

Project milestones add larger invoices on top, where card fees get expensive.

Where do check drafts help?

  • Monthly managed service agreements billed to the same clients.
  • Project milestones and hardware invoices.
  • Clients who won't set up ACH for a vendor.
  • Past-due accounts that want to catch up today.

Which authorization fits best?

For monthly agreements, a blanket authorization with a monthly frequency and a cap per draft. Each draft sends the client a notice.

For milestones and hardware, a one-time approval for each invoice.

What does a typical week look like with DraftPay?

  1. 1

    Drop in the invoice or check

    Quick Draft reads the payer, bank details and amount, and matches the customer you already have.

  2. 2

    Your customer approves

    From an emailed link, or not at all under a blanket authorization or one you already have on file.

  3. 3

    Print the drafts together

    Approved drafts wait in your print queue. Print them in one batch on blank check stock.

  4. 4

    Deposit and move on

    Deposit them at your own bank. Every draft keeps its signed record.

Common questions

Can I draft the same amount every month?

Yes. A blanket authorization with a monthly frequency covers one draft a month up to the cap. You create each draft, and the client gets a notice for it.

Is there a fee per draft?

No. DraftPay is a flat monthly price with a draft allowance, and no per-draft fees.
