Transcript: With autopay, you set it and forget it
It depends on the type of business and the services offered. Let’s say you’re a daycare center. Your invoice amount and frequency will most likely to remain consistent unless there is a life event. The family moved away, the child grew up, financial changes, etc. otherwise both parties, the daycare and the payor could really benefit from an auto-payment solution.
Let’s start with the pros for a small business owner:
- You save time – think about the hours you spent on invoicing, processing payments and reconciliation on a monthly basis?
- You reduce payment processing errors, delays, and fees
- You decrease risk and liability from having access to your customer’s payment info
- You gain transparency and predictability when it comes to cash position
- You no longer have to chase down payments…
- You increase customer retention and satisfaction bc customers love it when you’re making it super easy and convenient for them
Now the cons:
- You might have to intervene if service has been cancelled but you forgot to turn off autopay
- Could potentially overcomplicate your operations when you’re already trying to manage a la carte services and packages
Irrespective of your situation, incorporating auto payment in your business is worth exploring.
