Online Payments

Setup Online Payments

Once Invoices have been set up, users can choose to accept online payments via Neat, in partnership with WePay. By setting up online payments, users can send invoices to their customers with the option to pay using a Credit Card or Bank Account / ACH.

Step 1: Start the Setup Process

There are two ways to set up online payments.

• Users can set up online payments immediately after setting up invoices by clicking on the link at the end of the invoices set up process.

• Users can also click on the Accept Online Payments button in the Invoices section at any time to set up online payments.

Clicking on one of those two options will present the user with a fee disclosure. A fee is charged for every payment transaction accepted through Neat. Users will need to agree to the fees by clicking on the Get Started with Online Payment button in order to proceed.

Step 2: Merchant Onboarding Form

After agreeing to the transaction fees, the user will be presented with a merchant onboarding form. If the user has filled out a business profile after initially logging into Neat, several of these fields will be pre-populated.

• Business Name – The legal name of the user’s business
• Business Description – A short description of the products and/or services the business sells
• Statement Description – What will appear on the customer’s credit card or bank statements for each transaction
• Email – The user must enter an email address that they can access to complete setup
• The user must indicate that they are the Controller of the business
• Optionally, they can indicate that they are also the Beneficial Owner of the business
• The user must accept the Terms and Conditions of accepting payments on the Neat platform via WePay

Step 3: Verification Code

Submitting the merchant onboarding form will prompt the user to enter a 6-digit verification code that is sent to the email address entered on the form. Users will have 10 minutes to enter the code. Otherwise, they can have a new verification code sent to their email address using the Resend button.

Entering a valid verification code will automatically take users to the next step. They will be presented with a confirmation message and an option to resend the follow-up email to complete the next step.

Step 4: WePay Account Registration

Neat accepts online payments through a partnership with WePay, a Chase company. In order to complete setup on Neat, users must register an account with WePay. Entering a valid verification code will send an email to the user from Neat via Chase. Clicking on the Confirm button in that email will open a new tab that allows users to complete their WePay account setup.

WePay will require users to create a password and the email address used in the merchant onboarding form will be tied to their WePay account. Clicking the Grant Access button will take users to the WePay setup forms.

Note: Users can choose to skip these steps, but they must be completed within 30 days of receiving their first payment in order to have those funds settle into their bank account. Users can go back and complete these steps by clicking on the banners on the Merchant Center homepage.

Business Info

Users need to indicate whether their business is a Sole Proprietorship, a registered Business, or a Nonprofit. For Businesses and Nonprofits, users will also need to specify the legal structure of their business.

Users must also select an Industry Category and Industry Type for their business to proceed.

Business Details

The next step is to enter details about the business itself. The EIN (Employer Identification Number) will be optional for Sole Proprietors, but required for Businesses and Nonprofits.

Personal Info

The final part of setting up a WePay profile is to provide personal information about the user. A social security number will be required in order to complete set up.

Add Settlement Bank

Completing the WePay profile set up will allow users to add a settlement bank account where their funds will settle after receiving payments. If a bank account is not connected, users cannot receive the payments that have been made on their invoices.

Accepting Online Payments

Once online payments have been set up for a Neat account, every invoice sent to customers will allow the customer to pay by Credit Card or ACH / Bank. There is a minimum invoice amount of $5.00 for payments, so any invoice that has an amount due less than $5.00 will not have online payment options.

When an invoice is sent, customers can view the invoice on the Neat payment portal by clicking on the View and Pay button in the email.

Customers will have the option to make a Credit Card Payment or a Bank / ACH Payment. The credit card brands that are accepted by Neat are:

• Mastercard
• Visa
• Discover
• American Express

Bank / ACH payments are managed via Plaid. Any bank that can be processed through Plaid can be used for a payment through Neat.

For now, customers will only be able to make an online payment for the entire outstanding balance due for an invoice. Partial payments via credit card or bank / ACH will not be possible.

Credit Card Payments

If a customer chooses to make a Credit Card Payment, they will be presented with a payment form. All fields except for the Apt / Suite are required. They will also need to check the box indicating that they authorize the credit card to be changed and that they agree to the user’s terms and conditions.

Customers can click Back to Payment Options to go back to the main invoice page and select another payment option.

When a payment is successfully processed, the customer will be presented with an updated invoice, with the payment applied.

A receipt will be emailed to both the user and the customer upon a successful payment. Users will also see the payment reflected on the invoice within Neat.

Bank / ACH Payments

If the customer chooses to make a Bank / ACH Payment, a modal will open with the Plaid UI. Customers will need to click the Continue button to agree to Plaid’s privacy policy to proceed.

Customers will need to select a bank either from the list provided or by searching for their bank. If their bank cannot be found in the Plaid search, they will not be able to make a bank / ACH payment for the invoice.

Selecting a bank will prompt the customer to enter their user ID and password for that bank account. If the customer has not set up online banking with their bank, they will not be able to make a bank / ACH payment for the invoice.

After entering a valid user ID and password, customers will be presented with a list of any accounts associated with that bank. They must select one of the accounts to use for the payment.

After choosing an account, customers will be prompted to enter their full name and email address in order to authorize the account. If the payment is successful,  the customer will be presented with an updated invoice, with the payment applied.

A receipt will be emailed to both the user and the customer upon a successful payment. Users will also see the payment reflected on the invoice within Neat.

Managing Payments through the WePay Merchant Center

The WePay Merchant Center can be accessed at any time by clicking the Merchant Center button on the Invoices section within Neat. This will open the Merchant Center login page in a new tab.

The Merchant Center allows users to view and manage payment transactions they have received through Neat.

The homepage of the Merchant Center will display:

• Net Balance, Next Settlement Balance, and the Last Settlement Amount
• Records of payment transactions with:
  • Date of transaction
  • From / To
  • Payment Status
  • Amount

Users can also view reports on their Payments, Settlements, and any Chargebacks / Disputes that they have received. These reports can be accessed from the Reports section, accessible via the left navigation menu.

Users can drill down into any of the individual aspects of the reports to view additional details. They can also export reports as CSV files, which will contain data from those additional details as well.
