SoftLedger Pay (SL Pay)

Let your customers pay AR Invoices online by credit card, debit card, or ACH — and have those payments post to your ledger automatically, with no manual matching.

Written by Travis Lander

What is SoftLedger Pay?

SoftLedger Pay adds a Pay button to the invoices you email from SoftLedger. Your customer clicks it, pays by card or bank transfer on a secure hosted page, and SoftLedger automatically records the direct payment and marks the invoice paid.

Key benefits:

  • Get paid faster. Customers pay online in a few clicks, directly from the invoice.

  • Flexible payment methods. Accepts Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, and ACH bank transfers.

  • Built into your AR. Payments auto-reconcile to your ledger in real time — no CSVs, no manual matching.

How your customers pay

  1. You send the invoice. Create and email an invoice from SoftLedger as you normally would. The emailed invoice includes a 'Pay this invoice' button.

  2. Your customer pays online. Your customer can choose to pay by credit/debit card or ACH from the payment button by entering their payment details on a secure webpage. Customers have the option to save their credit card details to use for future invoice payments.

  3. Your books update automatically. Once the payment is confirmed, SoftLedger records a direct payment, applies it to the invoice, and marks it paid.

When payments post

  • Credit/Debit Card payments post within minutes, as soon as the card is approved.

  • ACH payments post once the transfer settles (typically a few business days).
