How to Streamline the Payment Process: Tips for Immigration Lawyers

When running your own business, you are ultimately responsible for every aspect of day-to-day operations, including collecting payments from clients. This can sometimes be a tricky process, but with Noodle, you can set yourself up for success. 

Read on to learn more. 

Why You Want to Remain On Top of Client Payments

Receiving payments from clients is necessary as it helps you pay for business expenses. If you aren’t paid on time, you might be unable to pay for tools or services that keep your business running. Also, as a professional dedicating time to clients’ immigration cases, you deserve to receive proper compensation.

Payment Problems You May Encounter

Here are a few payment issues you may face as a business owner:

Difficulties With Organization

As a business owner, you are likely wearing many hats and juggling several responsibilities, so something like consistently sending clients an invoice can fall through the cracks. If you aren’t incredibly organized, you may fail to request payment from your clients. 

Not enough flexibility

Not accepting enough payment types may cause issues with your clients. For example, if you don’t accept digital payments, you may not be offering enough flexibility. 

Delayed payments

Customers may not make payments on time. This delay can mean that you can fall behind on important business expenses. It also means that you have to remind clients to make a payment, which is time you could use to focus on other tasks.

How Noodle Streamlines the Payment Process

Noodle can help you improve the payment process. Noodle offers:

Automatic Invoicing

Noodle can handle invoicing for you, making it one less task you have to worry about. Noodle generates PDFs for you and sends them to clients at the appropriate time. Noodle’s AI functions also follow up with clients until they pay their invoices, saving you from having to reach out to clients. 

Secure payments

You and your clients can rest assured that Noodle offers secure payments. With about 60 percent of cyber attacks affecting small- and medium-sized businesses, your firm is at risk of fraud. Noodle works to combat that.

QR Codes, One-Link and More

You don’t have to accept payment in one way. You can send a QR code, your Noodle One-Link (which includes all your services and prices), a payment link via messaging or a buy button on your website. Sticking to one method likely won’t work for all customers, so Noodle gives you the ability to collect payment from clients in whatever way works best for them. 

Multiple Payment Methods

Noodle offers flexibility when it comes to payment methods. Clients can pay with major credit cards as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay. Customers can choose the payment method that’s most convenient for them. 

All Transactions in One Place

Regardless of how clients pay, your Noodle dashboard will keep track of all transactions in one central location. This allows you to easily know when you are missing payments.
