Payment processing

Accelerate cash flow with online payment processing

Online payment processing can deliver big benefits for your small business. Customers today have left cash behind – they strongly prefer to pay with credit or debit cards, mobile wallets, payment apps, or
bank-to-bank transfers. While these payment methods offer customers greater speed, ease, and security, they also let you streamline payment processes, get paid sooner, and automate management of customer data.

The key to leveraging the advantages of online payment processing is choosing the right solution. Ideally, your payment processing software should let you offer customers many ways to pay and simplify everything from invoicing to payment processing and reporting. Your payment processing technology should also integrate seamlessly with your billing system, customer database, and other business tools to let you automate as many business processes as possible.

As a do-it-all platform for managing small businesses, Thryv offers tools that let you process and track payments from anywhere with secure payment processing. With Thryv, you can give customers the payment options they want while streamlining every aspect of your small business billing system.
