How can I get paid?
You’ve got your freelance invoice ready to go, but what about actually getting paid? If you’re looking for the fastest, most convenient way for your customers to pay you, you’ll need to know how to accept payments online.
Step 1: Choose a Payment Processor To start, you’ll need to choose a payment processor that works for your unique freelance business. Consider whether it’s an all-in-one solution or if you’ll also need a merchant account and/or payment gateway. Factor in the fees, too.
Step 2: Set up Payment Options Once you’ve got your system set up, it’s time to think about how you’ll offer your customers user-friendly ways to pay you online. You could include a secure checkout form on your website, or you could plan to send invoices or payment links via email or text.
Step 3: Offer Multiple Payment Methods Figure out which kinds of payments you want to accept. For example, Invoice Simple Payments makes it easy for customers to pay you online via credit or debit card, ACH bank transfer (US only), PayPal, or Venmo (US only). The more options you offer, the more convenient it is for your customers, and the more likely you are to get paid on time!

The main things to include in your invoice will be the type of work done and the payment amount for that work. You’ll also need the total amount and when the payment is due. The way all of this is organized is going to depend on your preferences and what your clients might expect to see in an invoice.
Payments can be broken down into smaller categories, such as the amount done as well as how it’s billed. For instance, if you provide hourly assistance, you’ll include how many hours you worked on the project, your hourly rate, and the total for that project or part of the project.
You’ll also want to include details your client will need to know about how to pay the invoice. Make sure it states the payment methods you accept and has the details they need to pay using that method. For instance, you’ll need to include your email address if you use an online payment system. If there are added fees for a chosen payment system, do not forget to include those as well.
If you have more than a handful of regular clients as a freelancer, you can consider using an invoice generator. Using software means you can save time, stay organized and start accepting payment via credit card.
