Accept retainers by card or ACH, send invoices clients actually pay, and stay compliant with IOLTA trust accounting rules — all in one place.
Attorneys face payment challenges that most merchants don't. IOLTA trust account compliance means processing fees cannot come out of client funds — your merchant account setup has to reflect that. Retainer collection, installment billing, and large single invoices all have different cost profiles. We understand how law firms bill and we set up your merchant account accordingly.
We set up your merchant account so that processing fees never touch client trust funds. Fees are billed separately to your operating account.
Accept retainer payments by card or ACH at intake. Clients pay online or in-office — you get paid before the work starts.
Set up payment plans for clients on recurring autopay. They pay in installments, you get paid on schedule, automatically.
For significant invoices, ACH is dramatically cheaper than cards. A $10,000 invoice via ACH costs a fraction of what card processing would.
Our Merchant1 Invoice platform handles digital invoicing, ACH payments, and recurring billing in a single clean dashboard. Send a retainer agreement and payment link in the same email. Clients pay by card or bank transfer. You get notified and your books update automatically.
For clients who pay in person, a clean countertop terminal presents the right professional image. The Dejavoo P1 or Clover Mini fits naturally at a front desk and accepts chip, tap, and swipe without any complexity.
Law firms tend to have a mix of large transactions and recurring smaller ones. We review your current processing statement for free and tell you exactly what you're paying versus what you should be paying. No bait-and-switch, no teaser rates that change after 90 days.
