Customer Bill Payment Now Available

Getting paid faster is always a good thing. When we developed CompassBill, one of our primary goals was to streamline the process of invoice creation all the way through to receiving a payment. Today, we are excited to announce that we have implemented Customer Bill Payment into CompassBill.

Enabling Customer Bill Payment will place a link in both the e-mail and PDF invoice that your customer can click. The customer will then be presented with an invoice and a Pay Now button. Each link is uniquely coded for your customer's invoice so there is no login or password required.

We have chosen PayPal as our first payment gateway provider. We believe PayPal offers an excellent value to small businesses and brand name familiarity. Your customers will be able to pay with either an existing PayPal account or by using a Credit Card, even if they do not have a PayPal account established.

Customer Bill Payment is available today with PayPal accounts and can be enabled from the settings screen in your CompassBill account.

Conversations with CompassBillers

Being an early adopter is fun. You get to try out things that few others are using, and get to brag when you adopt something that later takes off. Sometimes you get to play a role in shaping the product, before the volume of feedback makes it less personal. Best of all, when you talk to the company who created the product, you are likely talking to those who created it.

Thus, it is with great excitement that us at CompassBill announce our new live chat feature. Found both on the front page of http://www.compassbill.net and inside the application itself, live chat is designed to get you in touch with the people who work on CompassBill instantly. So whether you have a question for us, a feature you'd like to see, or a suggestion on how we might improve CompassBill, please feel free to fire up a chat session. We'll be glad to chat.

In addition to the live chat, we've also added the ability for users to pay their bills through PayPal. This useful feature adds convenience to customers and gets revenue to you sooner. In addition, we've added pagination to the invoices page, and will be adding it to the other pages over the next few months. Please check back later for information about these new features.
