Make customer payments easier with integrated invoicing

UNCOMPLICATE YOUR WORKDAY

Not every small business owner has or needs a complex process to send invoices and collect payments. Payment services that are embedded and integrated* into business tools you already use – like Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Office – can create seamless customer experiences, customized interactions, and improved trust between a business and the people it serves. It sounds great – and nine out of 10 business owners in our small business survey say the ability to simplify billing and invoicing is important. We agree.

Quickly send invoices and bills in a way that feels straightforward and simple to use

Elavon Live Payments lets you do that with integrated invoicing built into the apps you already use.

Live online and app-based payment capabilities make it possible to invoice and receive payment before, during or after conversations on your existing web communication tools. For business owners that use Microsoft Teams or Microsoft Outlook, embedding live payment capabilities directly into those platforms can create benefits for both you and your customers:

1. Use the digital tools you already have
Over half of small business owners we surveyed feel pressured to use more digital tools, but 63 percent of them are overwhelmed by the number of digital solutions they need to run their business. What if you could stick with the tools you already have? Live online payment features interact with tools like the ones in Microsoft 365 so you don’t have to add another to the list.

2. Invoice and bill in the moment
In a meeting. During a video chat. On a Microsoft Teams chat or Microsoft Outlook email thread. Some small business owners value the opportunity to bill while they’re face to face with clients. Others want to quickly send an email invoice after the conversation. Whether it’s for the sake of improved efficiency, clearer communication, or the ability to quickly adapt your process in real time, payment apps that integrate into your existing workflows present ways to make your workday – and the customer experience – simpler.

3. Streamline your payment process
With live, web- and app-based payment capabilities, you can automate the entire invoice-to-pay process, streamlining tasks like invoice capture, coding, approval and payment into one productivity platform your team already uses. Reduce manual data entry, improve accuracy, optimize payment workflows and potentially improve your cash conversion cycle. Payment and collection methods may differ, but you keep full view of what’s due, when, and who’s been notified, no matter how your customer wants to pay.

Make it easier to get paid
Streamline your payments and invoicing process when you use integrated invoicing with the apps you already use, like Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Office.
