Payment Methods

  • Currently all accounts require a credit card or ACH (US Customers Only for ACH) on file for processing of invoices and purchases unless Payment Terms have been established with Clearly IP Accounting team. It is generally best practices to store more than 1 payment method for backup purpose(s) to prevent payment issues on a singular card or ACH account (limit, expiration, bank error, etc).
    • Based on your customer the ability to use ACH may be delayed 2-3 months until payment history is established.  If you do not see ACH as a payment method you can contact customer service at customerservice@clearlyip.com to request ACH access.
  • Don't worry. We only save a 'token' for these payment methods to be used with the issuing bank and all your bank and credit card details are saved with our payment processor Stripe. Just like with all of your information, we want to take extra steps for security when it comes to credit card and banking information.
