Accepting credit card payments offers several advantages. Your customers may choose to use credit cards to pay for the convenience, the ability to earn loyalty points, get cash back, or sometimes out of financial necessity. Giving an option to pay by credit card gives your customers flexibility and also makes it more likely for them to pay invoices on time.

In fact, Fergus Pay users not only get paid on time, they get paid up to 2x faster than non-Fergus Pay users. This means you can maintain a strong cash flow to ensure you always have the cash on hand to pay yourself, team and suppliers on time.

After completing an invoice in Fergus, you can send a text message or email out the invoice to your customers. In your emailed invoices, your customers can click Pay Now to go directly to the secure Fergus Pay payment page. For text messages, customers will click on the link included on the invoice to view and pay the invoice. On the Fergus Pay payment page, they can use their saved credit card details, if available, or enter them in to pay immediately.

You also have the option to collect payments from your customers on-site using the Fergus Go mobile app and our Scan to Pay feature. 

Payment through Fergus Pay is powered by Stripe, a leading payment processing platform with built-in fraud protection, used by companies like Google, Whatsapp, Xero, and Toyota.

There are no monthly or setup fees. Fergus Pay credit card transaction fees are set at a standard competitive rate. Please visit https://fergus.com/pricing for details on pricing.

You can choose to pass this fee onto your customers or build into your margins. Our data shows that customers are 2.5 times more likely to pay with credit card when the fee is absorbed by the business. We recommend increasing your margins to absorb the fee on your end.

Note that UK businesses cannot pass on credit card processing fees to customers.

You can see this information under the Fergus Pay section of your Fergus account. You can also easily check the status using the Customer Invoice Report or list of Invoices included under each Job.

Once you have Fergus Pay enabled, you can navigate to your dedicated Fergus Pay section in your Fergus account. There you can easily see a list of all Fergus Pay transactions as well as a list of payouts to your connected bank account. Payouts can combine multiple customer payments into one amount.

Scan to Pay is included for free with the Fergus Pay credit cards payments feature. You must first enable Fergus Pay to get started. Scan to Pay will then be automatically added to your Fergus Go mobile app.
