3 New Ways to Pay with Tabs3Pay

Consumers have spoken: they prefer electronic payments by an overwhelming margin. As electronic B2B transactions rise, your business clients likely are not far behind. This month, Tabs3Pay rolls out three new electronic payment options, making it even more convenient for your clients to pay their bills. 

Your clients’ needs at the forefront

Tabs3Pay allows you to provide unparalleled client service in the billing function. 

Clients can choose email billing with embedded payment links or a secure payment portal, depending on your Tabs3 configuration. For ongoing clients or complex matters, you can simplify the billing burden with scheduled and/or recurring payments. You can even accept payments over the phone. 

Your clients choose the payment method they prefer: credit card, debit card, or e-check/ACH. Starting in May 2025, clients can also pay via Venmo, PayPal, and PayPay Pay Later, unless you disable those options.

  • PayPal is one of the largest, most popular, and most trusted online payment platforms. Users can send money via credit card, debit card, or bank account. Transactions are safe and encrypted. Paypal has 432 million account holders (2024).
  • Venmo is a PayPal product, and works much like PayPal. It was originally optimized for transactions among friends and social sharing, but now supports business transactions. Venmo has 64 million monthly users (2024).  
  • PayPal Pay Later is a buy now, pay later (BNPL) product. Your firm receives payment immediately, and the client pays PayPal over time (up to 24 months). BNPL use is growing, and is popular among younger people and those with lower credit scores. Accepting BNPL payments can help firms serve clients who are less financially secure, increasing access to legal services, while mitigating financial risk to the firm. 

A trusted platform built for attorneys and legal professionals

Professional staff, attorneys, and firm managers also reap rewards from Tabs3Pay:

  • Professional staff: Electronic payment systems make it easy to accept payments, reducing repetitive, error-prone manual processes. Further, Tabs3Pay is the only payment platform that is fully integrated with your existing Tabs3 software, so you can complete all billing and accounting work in a single system. 
  • Partners: By reducing friction at the point of payment, firms can get paid sooner, spend less time making collections calls, and reduce write-offs. That can add up to larger bonuses and more compensation.
  • Managing partners: Law firm owners have special ethical obligations, and Tabs3Pay was created to meet them. All deposits go into your trust account, while debits (like fees) are only applied to operations accounts. The secure, PCI compliant payment system also reduces the risks of lost checks and check fraud while keeping your clients’ data safe.
