4.     Click OK to return to the Billing Module if successful, or return to the Payment Form.

Viewing Payment Methods

Payment methods are attached to the primary client on a given matter.

You can choose to invite other contacts on the file who have the "Client" role so that other Client Portal users may see payment methods entered by others on the file.

The Method dropdown menu may vary if the files have different primary clients.

Stored Payment Methods

The process of making a payment is faster when a payment method has been saved on the primary client as they will see a list of all existing payment methods in the Method dropdown menu in the Payment dialog box.

If there is no method on file the client is prompted to enter credit card details.


Note: The Pay Now button is disabled when selecting a payment on a paid invoice and enabled when the invoice has an outstanding balance.


Opening a Paid Invoice

When you re-open an invoice after a successful payment the Pay Now button is disabled and the PAID stamp appears over top of it.

Viewing Client Payments

When you log into Amicus Cloud after a client has made a payment the Name column shows the name of the Client Portal user who created the payment.

A payment made through the Client Portal is automatically shared.

You can click Remove from Portal at any time to change the status and hide the payment from the portal.
