Request and Store Payment Methods

Have more questions? Submit a request

With Clio Payments, you can request clients to store payment methods for future bill payments. When a client provides their payment details, you can use the payment method to pay bills.

Important: UK customers using Clio Payments can store one payment method per client for debit or credit card payments.

Request payment methods

You can send your client a link to request to store their payment methods by email or through a document or Clio for Clients secure message. You can also send this request link prior to sending a bill or processing a payment. The payment method link can be found in both the contact and matter’s dashboards.

When your client saves a new payment method, they will receive an email confirmation of the new saved payment method. You will receive an email confirmation if online payments notification emails are enabled for your user group or permission level. Learn more about online payments notifications here.

Note: Each request payment link has a 29-day expiration date. If the link expires before your client saves the payment method, you will need to send them a new link.
Via contact dashboard Via matter dashboard
  1. Go to your contact’s Dashboard.
  2. Scroll down to the Billing information section.
  3. Click the down arrow next to Manage and select Request payment method.
  4. Click Copy link.
  5. Optional: Click Open request link in new window to see a visual representation of what your client will see.
  6. Paste the link into an email, document, or secure message.
Tip: Your client can store their payment method when they receive their bill and make a payment. The client just needs to check the box for Securely store my payment method for future use and then submit the payment.

 

Delete payment methods

If a client no longer wants to keep a payment method on file, they will need to ask a firm user to delete their payment method. You can remove a payment method through the contact or matter’s dashboard or by viewing a client’s existing bill. 

Important: If a client revokes authorisation to charge a payment method, you will need to delete the revoked payment method from your saved payment methods, ensure that the payment method is not charged again, and work with the client to add a new payment method if the client has outstanding bills.
