Recurring Invoices Request for Payments
What is Recurring Invoices Request for Payments
Real-Time Payments is an exciting new service brought about by the Faster Payments Initiative of the FedNow ™ US Federal Reserve providing payments that are instant, final and secure. FedNow, Recurring Invoices Request for Payments and Real-Time instant payments, are defined simply as: Irrevocably collected funds in a bank account and usable immediately by the owner of the account. Our "Good Funds" payment gateway allows for instant real-time digital payments that are immediate, irrevocable, intra-bank and/or interbank account-to-account (A2A) transfers that utilize a real-time and text messaging system connected to every transaction participant through all U.S.-based financial institutions.
Automating the payment process for recurring invoices, now termed "Request for Payment" (RFP), from payers to payees, utilizing texting, email, or digital communication for ACH, credit cards, FedNow, and RTP Real-Time Payments, involves setting up systems and processes that streamline the entire transaction. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Request for Payment (RFP) Creation:
- Create recurring invoices or RFPs in your accounting software (such as QuickBooks) specifying the payment amount, frequency, and duration.
- Customer Enrollment:
- Encourage customers to enroll in automated payments for their convenience. This involves obtaining their payment information and consent to automatically charge their accounts for recurring invoices.
- Communication Channels:
- Utilize texting, email, or digital communication platforms to send RFP notifications to customers. Include a link or button for customers to authorize automated payments directly from the communication.
- Payment Options:
- Offer multiple payment options including ACH, credit cards, FedNow, and RTP Real-Time Payments. Ensure that your systems are capable of processing these payment methods securely and efficiently.
- Authorization and Consent:
- Include clear instructions for customers to authorize automated payments by clicking a link or button provided in the RFP notification. Ensure compliance with regulations regarding customer consent for recurring payments.
- Payment Processing:
- Once customers authorize automated payments, set up automated processes within your payment processing system to initiate transactions at the scheduled intervals specified in the RFP.
- ACH Setup:
- For ACH payments, securely store customers' bank account information and set up automated ACH transfers according to the payment schedule.
- Credit Card Processing:
- For credit card payments, securely store customers' credit card information and set up automated credit card charges according to the payment schedule.
- FedNow and RTP Integration:
- Integrate with FedNow and RTP Real-Time Payments systems if available to facilitate instant payments. Ensure that your systems can handle real-time payment processing seamlessly.
- Confirmation and Receipts:
- Send confirmation notifications or receipts to customers via email or text message once payments are successfully processed. Include details of the transaction and any relevant information.
- Reconciliation and Reporting:
- Regularly reconcile automated payments received against the RFPs issued. Use reporting tools within your accounting software to track payment activity, outstanding balances, and overall financial performance.
- Customer Support:
- Provide customer support services to assist customers with any issues related to automated payments, RFPs, or payment processing. Ensure that customers have access to support channels for assistance.
By implementing these steps and leveraging digital communication channels and automated payment processing systems, businesses can streamline the process of automatic recurring payments from payers to payees for RFPs, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and convenience for all parties involved.
