Online invoice payments is a secure payment service that gives your customers an easier and faster way to pay you. Now they can pay online using their VISA, MasterCard, AMEX, BPAY, Apple Pay or Google PayTM.

Let customers pay how they want to pay.

Check out the video to see what online invoice payments can do for your business.

Fees and charges

There are no setup or cancellation fees with online invoice payments, but there is a transaction fee that will apply to all payments made online.

Transaction fee: $0.25 per transaction + 1.8% of the total invoice. You'll only be charged after your customer makes the payment.

If you'd like more information on how fees and charges work with online payments, see Fees and charges.

Sending an invoice

Sending an invoice

You can select whether to enable online invoice payments for each individual invoice by selecting the Online payments option (as seen below).

  1. Create your invoice as you usually do, and select the option online payments shown below.
  2. Email the invoice to your customer.
  3. Your customer clicks the automatically generated link that’s in the email they receive, and their full invoice will appear online.
  4. They can click the Pay Now button to make their payment on the spot.

If you'd like to avoid paying a surcharge for a large invoice, you can remove the online payment option from that particular invoice. Just deselect the Online payments option when creating the invoice. See Deactivating online payments for more information.

How the invoice looks to your customers

The customer will receive the online invoice as they normally would. However, with the online invoice payments option enabled, they'll see a Pay Now button.

When they click Pay Now, they'll be asked to select their payment method.

Once they've entered their payment details, they click Submit.

You'll only be charged after the customer's payment has been processed.

Handling the payment in your company file

Handling the payment in your company file

When a customer makes a payment, the details will automatically be entered into your Essentials file, and the invoice will be closed off. We'll also send you an email with a detailed break down of the payments.

Note that the individual payments you receive will be recorded as unmatched, and you'll receive a daily lump sum deposit for your online payments.

For example, say you receive three online payments on Monday. The payment details of each transaction will be listed as unmatched. MYOB will deposit the total of the three payments overnight into your bank account as one lump sum. So on Tuesday, you would match the deposited transaction that will appear on your bank feed and bank statements. For more information see Matching bank transactions.

Why has the "Pay now" button disappeared from my invoices?

Why has the "Pay now" button disappeared from my invoices?

If your customers have told you they can no longer see the Pay now button in their online invoices, it might be related to some recent communications we sent about completing some additional business verification requirements for online invoice payments.

If you didn't provide the required information, your online invoice payment service may have been terminated. If you want to continue providing your customers the means to pay you online, you'll need to reapply for online invoice payments.
