  • Invoice2go offers a wide range of payment options integrated directly with the app, so that you can easily send an invoice and receive payment in one centralized location. One of the options to accept online payment is by bank-to-bank transfer from your clients. This is called direct transfer in your app.

    What is direct transfer?

    A direct transfer is a direct way of transferring money between two bank accounts even with different banks through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network in the U.S. Banks and other institutions may use the terms ACH transfer or ACH payment. They mean the same thing as direct transfer.

    Like card payments through Invoice2go, direct transfer payments are processed by Stripe.

    What does direct transfer cost?

    The following transaction fees apply for direct transfer:

    Stripe dashboard

    ACH payments are provided with lower fees than card payments. Note that your bank account must first be verified, and then must be authorized to use. Currently, this feature is only available for US customers.

    What does this mean for your clients?

    Direct transfer allows your clients to either

    log into their bank and authorize payments after they follow the link on the invoice to make payments on the Invoice2go payments page; or

    use a unique bank account and routing number to pay you from their account payables systems or directly from their banking app.

    What does this mean for you?

    Stripe will issue a set of unique routing and account numbers to each client you send an invoice to after enabling the feature.

    These banking details are unique to each client so that Stripe can identify where the money is coming from and then match it to an invoice you issued. This saves you time reconciling payments manually in your bank account.

    What you need to do to get paid through direct transfer

    You can accept direct transfers after setting up your Stripe account with your banking and company details. These are necessary so that Stripe can validate your business details, deter fraud and comply with government regulations.

    Importantly, providing your banking details allow Stripe to make deposits when payments are received.

    If the email address you use to login to Invoice2go is the same one used to register with Stripe, the app will prompt you to connect your Stripe account by signing in to Stripe within the app.

    If you have already set up a Stripe account and linked your bank account

    If you have already done this, perhaps when setting up for credit card, nothing else needs to be done, you can start accepting direct transfer payments immediately.

    The invoices you send after you turn on direct transfer in settings will contain a new unique routing and banking for each of your client.

    If you have not set up a Stripe account or linked your bank account

    Turn on direct transfer by going to your side navigation bar > Settings > Client Payment Settings > toggle ON the direct transfer option

    A Stripe account is automatically created for you when you turn on direct transfer or card payments

    Tap the black banner on top of the screen and follow the prompts to complete your set up which includes providing your company details and linking the bank account youd like Stripe to deposit payments into

    Your clients can now pay with direct transfer when they click on View Invoice in the email that you send with your invoice.

    Is this available to everyone?

    Currently, direct transfers will be only available for US customers with US banks.. The Invoice2go feature is progressively being rolled out to our U.S. customers. To find out if you are already enjoying this feature, please contact our support team by reaching us at [email protected].

    Make sure the client's email address entered accurately, without any typos

    Try sending yourself a test invoice by adding your own email address to the Send To field. Are you able to receive the invoice?

  • Connectivity issues can occur if your device is not receiving the strong internet connection required to run the Invoice2go app smoothly. Some issues that arise from a weak connection include:

    trouble syncing information

    pending documents

    a spinning, loading circle when attempting to access different screens

    All Devices

    Pending Invoices

    When an invoice is flagged as "pending, this means it is currently saved only on your device, and has not yet been saved to our servers. This usually occurs due to internet connection issues at the time the invoice was created. You can usually solve this issue by ensuring that you are on a strong internet connection, opening the invoice, tapping Edit, then tapping Save.

    Because the Invoice2go program is cloud based, you do need a strong internet connection at all times to allow the app to sync. If you are like most of us, you might leave your device on all the time; this can cause data connection decline. We recommend that you power down your phone and power back up (turn it off and on) on a regular basis to establish a new internet connection.

    If your documents are still pending after these steps, here is a workaround to save your invoice and remove the pending one:

    Open the pending invoice

    Tap on thebutton in the lower right corner

    SelectCopy to

    Copy the invoice to another invoice and tapCopy

    Once saved you'll see two copies of this invoice, the original pending document, and a new one that should be saved

    You can then swipe left on the pending invoice to delete it from your app

    Missing Invoices

    We have seen that in some accounts, the document logo settings can cause issues with syncing on multiple devices. If you have a logo uploaded to your invoices, and are experiencing syncing issues, one suggestion that may work to resolve these issues is to go into your Invoice2go settings and ensuring that the alignment and size options are checked.

    Login to your Invoice2go account from a computer, at invoice2go.com

    Open your Invoice2go Settings from the left side menu

    Go to Customize Invoice > Options

    Click on Logo

    Click on Position

    Make sure that options in both Alignment and Size are selected (green check mark next to the option)

    Click Save Design

    This is just a suggested tip, so while it's not guaranteed to work, often this does solve some logo corruption issues and should improve your future document syncing experience.

    iOS

    One recommended troubleshooting tip to reduce connectivity issues for your iOS device is to ensure that your location services are enabled for the Invoice2go app. Enabling location services allows your app to continuously sync to our servers, ensuring the best app experience.

    To enable your location services,

    Go to your iOS device settings

    Tap on Privacy

    Tap on Location Settings

    Ensure that Invoice2go is set to ALWAYS

    Occasionally power off your device and power it back on to refresh internet connectivity

    Android

    On Android devices, your app cache can be cleared, which can also improve the performance of your app experience. App cache stored over time can sometimes cause crashing and lag issues.

    To clear your app cache:

    What is the GDPR?

    The General Data Protection Regulation is Europes new transformative data protection law which regulates the collection, use, transfer and storage for EU individuals. The new regulations are effectively a harmonization of previous data protection laws across the European Union and are designed to provide stronger control of personal data as well as rights transparency over how your data is used. The GDPR came into force as of the 25th of May, 2018.

    The GDPR specifically applies to customer data which contains personal identifying information. Examples of personal data under the GDPR includes names, ID numbers, locations and online identifiers, such as Internet Protocol (IP) numbers, cookies and addresses.

    You have more control over the data that is collected on you. For example, you have the right to know why your data is being collected, how it is being used and the length of time your data will be stored.

    Companies collecting your data are required to keep personal data secure, to have processes in place for handling personal data and for reporting data breaches.

    You must have access to information on the purpose of how your data is used and stored. (This information is available in Invoice2go's Privacy Notice ).

    At Invoice2go, we are constantly evolving our business and product offering to deliver the best possible experience for our users. To ensure our legal terms keep pace with best practices and stay aligned with our latest product and features, we are updating our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

    Summary of key changes:

It also notes that Invoice2go is not the lender, and that the relationship will specifically be between the lender (BestEgg or Square) and the merchant or end client. Accepting payments through Stripe is a way for customers to receive card payments for the invoices they generate through Invoice2go. If the customer chooses to utilize this option, the financial information submitted (e.g., tax ID and bank account number)will only be allowed in the specific data fields designated within Invoice2go, to protect customer privacy. The updated language makes this clear.

    Terms of Service - Avoid Submitting Certain Sensitive Data:There are other kinds of sensitive informationhealth information, social security numbers and drivers license numbers, for examplethat Invoice2go will never seek to collect from our users. We have added clear rules that tell users never to upload these kinds of sensitive information to the Invoice2go product.

    This summary is meant to help you review and understand whats changed in our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. However, we also recommend you read the full documents, since their terms apply to you whenever you use the Invoice2go product.

    If you have further questions about these changes, please reach out to our customer service team.

    What if I do not agree to the changes?

    If you do not agree to our new Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, you may continue to use your account for now, but eventually will have to accept the terms in order to continue using your account. If you still don't wish to accept, contact customer support to close your account.

    From the side navigation menu, go to Reports

    Helpful Tips

    Any changes made to taxes will be applied to future invoices only; historical invoices will not be affected.

    Any products with specific tax rates set will not be updated.

    In order to pay with Apple Pay, your customers will need to be operating as least iOS 10 for mobile or MacOS Sierra on their Mac, both operating systems available starting September 13th, 2016.

  • For each Invoice2go payment transaction, a fee will be deducted from the amount your customer pays you.Card transaction fees differaccording tothe plan youre currently subscribed to and the card type used by your customers.

    Payments fees for the United States start at 2.9% + 30 per transaction paid with a debit or credit card. When accepting payments from international cards, including American Express, a 1% fee is applied per transaction.*

    For example, if you are an Unlimited user and you receive $100 card payment from your customer, you would pay $3.20 ($100 - ($100*2.9%) - $0.30 = $96.80) for processing, and Stripe would deposit the remaining $96.80 to your bank.

    Because Stripe processes all Invoice2go payments, Stripe collects payment transaction fees. Check your Stripe Dashboard and Stripe's Help Pages to see more on payments fees collected by Stripe.

    *Note if you signed up with Stripe before 9/14/2017, this international fee does not apply.

  • Once you receive a debit or credit card payment from your customer, Stripe will begin processing your funds. Check the table below for estimated processing times, and log in to your Stripe Dashboard to find the exact dates and time when funds should be available.

    The first debit or credit card transaction you receive will take at least 7 business days to transfer. This holding period is necessary for complying with anti-money laundering regulations and to reduce the risk of fraud. After your first payment has been processed, Stripe will then process all subsequent payments within 2-7 business days (see table below).

    Because your card payments are processed through Stripe, and not Invoice2go, Invoice2go does not control when your funds are made available. All payment processing and direct deposits are handled exclusively by Stripe. If youdon'tsee your funds in your bank account, please check your Stripe Dashboard to see the current status of your payment.

    All Invoice2go payments are processed by Stripe in UTC time, which means that the processed date may not be the same as the date on which a charge is made in your local timezone. After the payment has been verified by Stripe, your funds will get sent to your bank. Most banks will post funds on the same day as they are received. Depending upon weekend or holiday schedules, your bank may take an additional 2 to 3 business days to post your funds to your bank account.

    Stripe Dashboard

    *Note that transfer schedules are set by Stripe

    Helpful Tips

    The exact timing of your first transfer may also vary depending on different factors. If you have not received your funds 7 days after your first payment, check your Stripe account and verify that your bank account information has been entered correctly. If your bank information is correct and you are still not seeing your funds, please see Stripe help for a full list of possible transfer failures.

    If your bank account is not able to receive a transfer, your bank will return the funds to Stripe. Banks can take up to 5 business days to inform Stripe about transfers that did not go through, at which time you will receive an email and be notified in your about the issue.

    You cannot receive your funds until you have linked your bank account to Invoice2go payments.

    If you do not link your bank account to Invoice2go payments within 21 days of receiving your first payment, Stripe will automatically refund your customer their payment.

    If your customer paid by card, do not give them a cash refund this is a common fraud scenario.

    Refunds may appear in the form of a reversal.In the case of a reversal, the original payment will drop off of your customer's bank statement, and a separate credit is not issued.

    Refunds can't be cancelled. If you'd like to charge your customer for the amount that you have refunded, you can create a new charge for your customer.

    Accepting International Cards

    For each card payment you receive, a fee will be deducted from the amount your customer pays you. Online card payments fees for the United Statesstart at 2.9% + 30 per transaction paid with a debit or credit card.

    Getting Paid in Multiple Currencies

    The currency in which you send your invoice will be the same currency your customer sees when paying your invoices.

    It is possible to get paid in more than one currency, but Invoice2go is not yet optimized for this scenario and the data may not be processed correctly. If you need to get paid in multiple currencies (e.g. U.S. Dollars and BritishPounds), we recommend creating multiple Invoice2go accounts to keep your data consistent.

  • Chargebacks happen when your customers contact their credit card issuers or banks to dispute transactions they have paid.

    Chargebacks can be the result of a misunderstanding or error. They could also be a result of credit card fraud made with stolen credit cards. Whatever the reason, it's best to work with your customers in figuring out what happened and settling their differences.

    If you customer does issue a chargeback, the cardholders credit card issuer or bank will typically refund the transaction immediately. Once the dispute has been made, you will receive an email from Stripe that includes all of the related details. Stripe will then deduct the disputed amount plus a chargeback fee from your account the day after a dispute was filed. You can see all related activity from your Stripe dashboard.

    You will be able to submit evidence of the transaction. In instances where you win the chargeback dispute, the disputed amount and the chargeback fee will be refunded to your bank account.

    Unfortunately, once a transaction has been disputed, theres no way for you to refund the paid invoice. By disputing the transaction, your customer has already received the amount paid back from their bank. So, if you agree with the decision to not fight the dispute, there is no need to take any further action.

    Managing Chargebacks

    Talk to your customers and understand why the chargeback happened

    Ifyou'vetalked to your customer and they confirm the chargeback was a mistake and agree to drop the dispute, have your customer call their bank and let them know they want the chargeback cancelled

    Collect all related documents: invoices, emails, signed agreements, correspondence, photographs etc.

    After the customer requests the dispute to be cancelled, submit all of the related evidence to their bank

    Your evidence should indicate to the bank that your customer wishes to drop the dispute, and must include any email evidence you have where the customer says that

    If your customer had specific complaints that led to the dispute, be sure to address those in the evidence and include all related documents

    Failing to provide evidence could still result in you losing the dispute

    Log into your Stripe dashboard

    Within the Disputes section, click on the disputed transaction and open it

    Click on Dispute

  • The best way to avoid chargebacks is to minimize their likelihood before you even start accepting payments.

    Chargebacks happen when your customers contact their credit card issuers or banks to dispute transactions. Chargebacks can be the result of a misunderstanding or error. They could also be a result of credit card fraud made with stolen credit cards.

    There are also several other reasons why your customers might issue a chargeback, including:

    The cardholder(s) did not authorize charge

    They didnt recognize the charge or merchant on their credit card statement

    They were incorrectly billed

    They feel the product or service was different than the initial expectation

    They never received an item they ordered

    By working with your customers, you can figure out what happened and settle their disputes. Additionally, you can minimize chargeback risk by staying organized, being available to your customers and maintaining a transparent relationship with them.

    If your customer does issue a chargeback, the cardholders credit card issuer or bank will typically refund the transaction immediately. Once a transaction has been disputed you will receive an email from Stripe that includes all of the related details. Stripe will then deduct the disputed amount and a chargeback fee from your account the day after a dispute was filed. If you win the chargeback dispute, the disputed amount and chargeback fee will be refunded to your bank account. See how to manage chargebacks here.

    If you incur too many chargebacks, Invoice2go is obligated to close your payments account and disable your ability to accept future card payments.

    Here are the most important steps in avoiding chargebacks:

    Give your customers a heads up

    Your customers will see charges from you as *S*yourcompanyname on their bank statements. Make sure your customer recognizes your official company name on these bank statements by clearly communicating it either in the invoice or the email that includes the invoice. Make sure your company name on your Stripe dashboard reflects your businesss official name.

    Invoices titled with names other than the official business names may increase the chance of a chargeback

    Keep track of your emails

    Invoices are emailed from your device, which means your sent email folder creates a natural archive for your sent invoices. Keep these safe just in case you receive a chargeback and you need to reference particular transactions

    If you are sending invoices from the web, which does not include a sent folder, make sure to CC or BCC yourself on the invoices you send

    Use clear product and service names

    When accepting card payments from your customers, make sure your invoices are easy to understand. For example, if you are an electrician and you invoice a customer,don'tuse as34sdB as a product description when you can say fixed circuit breaker

  • If you are an Invoice2go legacy app or classic desktop user, you will only be able to access your Invoice2go documents on the device that you originally downloaded the app and created your account on.

    If you change or lose your device, you will lose access to those documents. We recommend exporting your datato a safe location so you always have your information. Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to migrate your data to the new platform; however, our team is working on a solution in the coming months to help you successfully migrate this data.

    We recommend that you use the new Invoice2go so all your documents and data going forward are automatically backed up and accessible from all devices. You can create a new account on our new platform by signing up at invoice2go.com or by downloading the latest version from the Apple iTunes Store or Google Play store.

    *Please note that this article applies to the old Invoice2go app (app icon with white background and green planes) and Classic Desktop product.
