Built-In LawPay with No Monthly Fee
(We’ll cover the $20 LawPay monthly fee forever!) [1]
Credit card payments are a win-win for your law practice. You want faster payments and your clients appreciate the convenience of paying legal fees by credit card. CosmoLex makes it easy for you to start accepting credit card payments. For new LawPay accounts opened from within your CosmoLex application, CosmoLex will cover the standard LawPay $20 monthly fee for active LawPay users. Already have a LawPay account? No problem! Simply specify that within CosmoLex and you are all set. If you are using separate billing and accounting systems, accounting for credit card funds becomes challenging. View our ‘Challenges of Accepting Credit Cards’ video. With CosmoLex’s end-to-end credit card processing solution, CosmoPay, trust retainer payments, online invoice payments, and daily reconciliations of received funds become a breeze.
Retainer & Bill Payments by Credit Card
CosmoLex’s fully integrated credit card processing with LawPay® allows you to follow the money trail. CosmoLex turns card acceptance from an error-prone, time-intensive task into an automated, accurate, and cost-effective process. With CosmoLex’s integrated credit card processing, your clients can pay by credit card (online or by phone) for initial trust retainers, fee prepayments, ongoing invoice payments, and more.
End-to-End Credit Card Accounting
Law firms also face real challenges after the card has been approved and charged. Credit card payments need special bookkeeping procedures to manage where funds are deposited, how they are recognized, how to handle refunds, and more. CosmoLex avoids all of these concerns by combining legal billing and law firm accounting in one system.
- As payments get deposited to your bank account, you immediately know which invoices were paid by credit card because your billing & accounting is all within CosmoLex.
- Merchant deposit funds are always batched — multiple client payments of the day are pooled into a single bank deposit. This can be a daily bookkeeping headache if you run separate billing and business accounting systems. In CosmoLex, you simply make a batch (deposit slip) and reconcile with received funds. A simple, one-click process eliminates all the worries!
- You can even process refunds within CosmoLex. Thanks to CosmoLex’s integrated billing and accounting, you will eliminate fudging with multiple systems — and always know the current status of each and every invoice.
[1] For new LawPay customers only. The monthly fee is paid by CosmoLex only for active LawPay users (defined as processing at least one credit card transaction within CosmoLex each month).
