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 fees: $0.25 per transaction + 1.8% of the total invoice (which you can pass on to your customers through surcharging, excluding BPAY). 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.

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.

If you've activated customer surcharging for this invoice and the customer chooses to pay by credit or debit card, the 1.8% card surcharge will automatically be applied.

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

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

titleWhen a customer pays you

When a customer pays you

When a customer makes an online payment, it'll automatically be recorded into your MYOB business, and the associated invoice will be closed off. You'll also receive an email notification about the payment.

All credit and debit card payments made on the same day will be grouped and deposited into the settlement account you nominated when you set up online invoice payments. BPAY payments will be individually deposited into that same account.

Because the payments are automatically recorded in your MYOB business, when the bank transactions come into your software (either via bank feeds or an imported bank statement), those payments can be easily matched.

Learn more about how matching works.

If you need more details about your online invoice payments, see Online invoice payment reports.

Customers can pay you online — even from a printed invoice

No matter how you invoice your customers, they'll be able to pay you online. So if you prefer to download an invoice as a PDF and email it to your customer – and you've set up online invoice payments – they can still view and pay the invoice online. A QR code is automatically added to your invoice when you print it or export it as a PDF. When the customer scans this QR code using their phone, they can view the online invoice and easily pay it online.

titleWhy 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.

For all the details see Online invoice payments termination.
