Card payments for professional services

Clients may pay at reception, after an invoice or over the phone. S2S Payments helps professional service businesses compare ways to accept card payments around the service they provide, with advice from our North Wales base.

How can clients pay an invoice by card?

Secure payment links are an option for sending a client a payment request without taking the payment at your premises. Discuss how requests will be issued, how payments are matched to invoices and which staff need access. Confirm whether any integration with your accounting or practice software is available rather than assuming it is included.

Can we accept payments at reception or by phone?

A fixed or portable card machine may suit clients paying in person. A virtual terminal may support permitted phone payments, subject to provider approval and procedures. Tell us the transaction types and values involved so the proposed service can be checked for your business.

What should we compare in a payment quote?

Review the full cost: transaction rates, terminal or service charges, contract length and any additional fees. The cheapest headline rate may not mean the lowest cost for your transaction mix. Ask about settlement timing, refund handling, reporting and user permissions, particularly if several team members collect payments.

Will the payment setup fit our existing systems?

Share the name and version of any practice, booking or accounting platform, alongside your current invoicing process. Compatibility needs to be checked before recommending an integrated setup. For website payments, explore our online payment options and explain how clients should move from your website to payment.
