We'll ask you a few simple question so that we can verify your business and account details to make sure that your information is kept safe and secure.

Let's get started.

   1. Verify your business - enter details like your ABN, trading address etc. This is to help confirm and protect the information provided.
   2. Link your bank account - you have the option to use one account to receive online invoice payments and pay for fees and charges, or you can pay your fees and charges from a separate account.
   For any changes to account details, click Edit account details to enter updated information.

If you'd like to remove the online payment option, you need to edit the outstanding invoice, deselect the Allow online payments option and resend. See Deactivating online payments for more information.

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.

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

When a customer makes a payment, the details will automatically be entered into your company file for you, and the invoice will be closed off.

Note that the individual payments you receive will be recorded in your Undeposited Funds account. You will need to clear the Undeposited Funds account regularly by preparing a bank deposit.

For example, say you receive three online payments on Monday. The payment details of each transaction will be listed in your Undeposited Funds account. MYOB will deposit the total of the three payments overnight into your bank account as one lump sum. So on Tuesday, you would prepare a bank deposit in your company file that includes the three payments, and that matches the deposit transaction that will appear on your bank feed and bank statements.

How do I pay the fees and charges?

You'll be sent an invoice for fees and charges, and then billed on a monthly basis via direct debit.

If you're just getting set up for online invoice payments, you can select a separate account to pay your fees and charges. See Step 5 in the Get set up section above.

If you're already set up for online invoice payments, we'll charge the same account used to pay for your MYOB subscription. If you'd like to add a separate account, give us a call on 1300 783 674, and we'll be happy to help.

Can I disable online payments for one invoice?

You can remove your customer's option to make online invoice payments by deselecting the Online payments option when creating an invoice.

Can customers pay multiple invoices at once?

Customers can pay multiple invoices in one go through their list of unpaid invoices. All they need to do is select the invoices they wish to pay and click the Pay invoices button below.  

There are two ways they can access this list:  

1. Through their monthly statement of unpaid invoices
   
   
   
   
2. Through a reminders email
