That\u2019s true whether they\u2019re buying a new coat or hiring a lawyer. If your law firm billing process doesn\u2019t include the option to accept card payments, you could be missing out on clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Debit and credit card usage is increasingly common among consumers and businesses.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By offering clients the flexibility and convenience of paying with a debit or credit card, your firm will enjoy multiple benefits, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Getting paid faster.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Simplifying your law firm billing process.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Improving collections rate and cash flow.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saving time by avoiding manual cheque and cash transactions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Creating a client-centred experience.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Accepting debit and credit cards also opens up the world of automated payments to your firm. Given the typical size of a legal bill, clients value the option of breaking up the bill into several smaller payments. In fact, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/marketing.dev.clio.systems\/resources\/legal-trends\/2021-report\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2021 Legal Trends Report<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> found that consumers ranked whether a law firm offered payment plans as one of the most important factors for hiring a law firm. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As an added benefit, offering payment plans has the potential to increase access to justice. By giving clients the flexibility to pay over a longer period of time, you can help make legal services more accessible to those who need them most. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re new to the <\/span><a title=\"Clio Payments\" href=\"https:\/\/marketing.dev.clio.systems\/au\/features\/payments\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">online payments for lawyers ecosystem<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, accepting card payments is a good place to start.

But considering that firms who do accept card payments are creating a distinct competitive advantage for themselves, buy-in isn\u2019t likely to be a stumbling block.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Decide how you\u2019ll take online card payments at your law firm<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Debit or credit card payments can be accepted online or in person. The online approach, using cloud-based law firm card processing software, such as<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/marketing.dev.clio.systems\/au\/features\/payments\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Clio Payments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, simplifies bill payment for your clients because they can pay from the comfort of their home, on their laptop, or on-the-go using their smartphone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Being able to accept card payments online is also much faster and more efficient for your law firm. As part of your law firm billing process, you can add click-to-pay links to your website and in client communications, including invoices, providing greater flexibility and convenience for clients\u2014and improving your collections rate and cash flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you wish to accept cards in person, you\u2019ll need to purchase a debit\/credit card reader to process payments.

Law firms need a card processing solution that recognises and accounts for the difference between <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">client accounts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and operating accounts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Critically, the card processing system must not allow chargebacks on client accounts nor take processing fees from client accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"clio payments\" href=\"https:\/\/marketing.dev.clio.systems\/au\/blog\/introducing-clio-payments-to-australia\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Integration with your legal practice management system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is also a key consideration that should inform your selection process. By integrating your card processing solution with your practice management system, you can ensure the collections process is fast, automated, and convenient\u2014for both you and your clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, <\/span><a title=\"Clio payments\" href=\"https:\/\/marketing.dev.clio.systems\/au\/features\/payments\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clio Payments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, built within the robust <\/span><a title=\"Clio manage\" href=\"https:\/\/marketing.dev.clio.systems\/au\/manage\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clio Manage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> infrastructure, creates a client-centred payment experience by enabling clients to pay their bills by card or set up automated payments using their card. Plus, you get paid faster, improve your collection rates, and boost efficiency within the firm. In addition, Clio helps you navigate chargebacks (if and when they arise).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Get your law firm card processing solution running<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the right law firm card processing provider, setting up your debit and credit card processing software (ideally integrated with your legal practice management software) should be a simple process. For peace of mind, be sure to select a solution provider that offers reliable customer support and training to assist you if you have any questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once the software is up and running, you can send electronic invoices with \u201cpay now\u201d buttons. Additionally, activating click-to-pay links on your website and in client emails is a breeze. Sophisticated solutions like Clio Payments will automatically post clients\u2019 card transactions to the appropriate matter or account, and sync records with your accounting platform to eliminate errors and save time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Inform your clients that you now accept card payments<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don\u2019t forget to spread the word that your firm is now accepting card payments. Promote the news through your social media channels, update messaging on your website (be sure to highlight the \u201cpay now\u201d button), and add the card payment option to your invoice template.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consider emailing your client list informing them that you\u2019ve expanded payment options to include card payments.
