While we believe that online payments are more secure and faster, sometimes clients still want to send a check as a form of payment. In this article we will cover how Maroo assists you around check payments.
How to turn on payments via check option?
Go to your account settings and choose "Payments settings" option.
Turn on the toggle next to "Accept checks" option.
Use the area below to add the check mailing instructions for your clients. This information will be visible to them when they opt in to use payment via check option.
Once you filled in the information, click Save or see how your clients will see the check mailing instructions when they are making the payment.
How your clients will pay with check
When your clients will get to the payment method screen, they will see a new "Check" option below.
On the next screen they will see your check mailing instructions and will have an option to copy the text or download instructions on their device.
The clients will have an option to add a note to you, i.e. indicating they will be making a payment via check in 3 days. To confirm the clients will need to click "I will mail a check" option.
On the next confirmation screen your clients will see check mailing instructions one more time with the clear next steps around a need to mail a check.
Notifications
Once your client confirmed they want to mail you a check, Maroo sends an email to you and your client confirming this. Please find an example below:
If your invoice is not marked as paid after 7 days since the client notified you about their interest to mail you a check, we are going to send you a reminder just to make sure this payment doesn't slip through the cracks.
