Law Firm Payment Processing With Zero-Fee Card Acceptance

Invoicing and secure payment links built around trust account considerations.

A law firm collecting retainers and invoices by card has to be careful about how those funds are handled, particularly when trust account funds and operating funds need to stay separate. Tasskel Pay's payment tools support client invoicing and secure payment links configured to route retainer and fee payments appropriately, alongside a cash discount program that keeps processing fees from being deducted out of a client payment that needs to arrive at its full amount.

Client invoicing

Send invoices for hourly billing, flat fees, or retainers directly to a client, with payment collected online or by phone without requiring an in-person office visit.

Trust-account-aware payment routing

Configure payment types so retainer or trust funds and operating fees are routed appropriately, helping a firm keep its accounting consistent with bar association expectations.

  • Separate routing for trust vs. operating funds
  • Secure payment links
  • Recurring billing for retained clients

Simple front-office hardware

A countertop terminal for in-office payment is included through the Free Equipment Program for firms that also collect payment in person.

Zero-fee processing on client payments

A firm collecting $40,000 a month by card can lose $1,200 or more to a standard processing rate on funds that may need to be passed through in full. The cash discount program applies a disclosed card price instead of deducting from the payment.

Payment reporting for billing staff

Outstanding invoices, payment status, and collections by matter are available in the Tasskel business suite, helping billing staff reconcile client accounts without a separate system.
