A benefit for healthier financial accounting – the new PayPal link now in invoice documents

You can insert hyperlinks to this online payment service into your invoices, giving your customers a quicker means to pay outstanding items online.

Once you also install the PayPal integration extension, links are created in your invoices which take your customers to PayPal Standards online payment – offering further flexibility – with multiple ways of accepting payments securely – including credit cards.

You can specify payment services per invoice or use a default setting and manage by exception. If you have already posted an invoice, simply add a payment service link afterwards.

Flexibility also comes with how you can personalise the invoice templates, moving around the payment link to ensure your call to action is as prominent as you want it to be.
