Fergus Pay is powered by Stripe, a secure payment gateway for processing payments from your customers so you can get paid faster and speed up your cash flow.
We've said it before - offering credit card payments means you’re going to get paid fast. Really fast.
In fact, you’ll get paid four times as fast compared with not offering your customers the option of paying by credit card*.
This is why we introduced Fergus Pay powered by Stripe - our secure credit card payment solution - offering customers a convenient way to pay due invoices using their credit card.
If you sign up to Fergus Pay, all SMS and email payment reminders sent to your customers include a link for them to view and then pay your invoice using Fergus Pay.
Customers can complete payment in just a few steps, no matter where they are when they receive your reminder.
Payment reminders are a great way to make sure your invoices stay front-of-mind. They’re also going to help you collect late payments faster than ever before, giving your cash flow a boost in the right direction.
SMS and email payment reminders are automated so you can rest easy knowing late invoices are being taken care of.
SMS reminders are sent at the following frequency:
Soon after you send the invoice to your customer;
The day after the invoice is sent;
7 days after the invoice is sent;
The day payment is due;
Every 14 days after the payment is overdue.
Of course, reminders will only be sent for as long as the invoice remains unpaid.
Any questions? We’ve put together some FAQs to help you get started:
