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.

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.
