Payments

Elite Payments brings payment processing into a law firm’s existing billing and accounts receivable workflows, so payment activity and financial records are maintained in one system without a separate payment platform to manage.

Key Features & Functions:

Embedded Billing Workflow
Invoice delivery, payment reminders and payment capture operate within 3E workflows, with no separate system to log into or data to transfer.

Invoice Delivery and Collection Reminders
Invoices are delivered to clients automatically, and built-in reminders follow up on outstanding balances.

Client Payment Options
Clients can access their invoices and pay by ACH or credit card through a payment portal or by scanning a QR code.

Pay Later Installment Plans
Clients can pay invoices over time through installment plans while the firm receives payment upfront.

Virtual Card Terminal
Firm staff can process card payments on behalf of clients, including purchasing cards, through a secure virtual terminal.

Automated Reconciliation
Payments captured through the platform reconcile automatically against billing records in 3E, removing the need to post payments received outside the financial system.

Payment Tracking
Finance teams can track payment status and outstanding balances alongside billing and accounts receivable records.

Payment Security and Controls
Authenticated client payment flows reduce reliance on card-by-phone payments, and configurable transaction limits and controls govern how payments are accepted and processed.

About Elite
