PayBridge for FreshBooks

Keep FreshBooks. Pay Less to Get Paid.

You like FreshBooks. So do we.

But using FreshBooks shouldn’t mean giving up control over payment-acceptance costs.

 

PayBridge connects your FreshBooks invoices to a lower-cost external payment option while keeping FreshBooks at the center of your invoicing workflow.

 

Customers pay through PayBridge, and successful payments automatically sync back to the corresponding FreshBooks invoice.

An active FreshBooks account and authorized PayBridge connection are required.

Why PayBridge for FreshBooks?

Lower Processing Costs. Next Day Deposits. Same FreshBooks Workflow.

Payment-processing fees may seem small on an individual invoice, but at scale they can become a significant business expense.

PayBridge was built for businesses that like FreshBooks but want more control over what it costs to get paid. Instead of replacing your invoicing platform, PayBridge adds an external payment option to the FreshBooks workflow you already use.

Keep your invoices. Keep your customers. Keep FreshBooks. Change only how the payment is processed.

The More You Process, the More It Matters

Monthly Payments1% Lower Cost Means
$10,000$100/month
$25,000$250/month
$50,000$500/month
$100,000$1,000/month

Your actual processing rate and savings depend on your approved merchant account and transaction mix.

Why Use PayBridge With FreshBooks?

PayBridge solves one very specific problem: giving FreshBooks users access to more competitive payment processing without forcing them to rebuild the rest of their billing system.

PayBridge connects your FreshBooks workflow to independently established merchant processing, giving your business access to more competitive rates than standard flat-rate processing may provide.

The more you process, the more even a small rate difference can matter.

Automatic Payment Sync

Once PayBridge confirms a successful transaction, the payment is applied back to the corresponding FreshBooks invoice.

No separate invoice system and no manually marking routine payments as paid.

Card & Bank Payments

Give customers a simple, secure way to pay using supported credit card, debit card, and bank account payment options.

Available payment methods depend on your approved merchant configuration.

Next Day Deposits

Credit, Debit, or ACH payments made by your customers are in your bank account the very next day. Every time. 

No Second Accounting System

There is no need to migrate invoices, customer records, history, estimates, or accounting workflows simply because you want a better payment option.

Continue using FreshBooks for the things it already does well.

Simple for Your Customers

Your customer still receives their FreshBooks invoice.

When they’re ready to pay, they follow your PayBridge payment link, confirm their invoice, choose a payment method, and complete the transaction.

No new account or complicated process for the person paying you.

Pro-active Integrations

We use this as well, so we’re always going to be adding more features, new platform connections, and working on any feature requests from clients. 

How PayBridge for FreshBooks Works

PayBridge creates the connection between your FreshBooks invoices and your external merchant processing account.

Your invoicing workflow stays familiar. The payment route changes.

Authorize PayBridge to connect securely with your existing FreshBooks account. This allows PayBridge to retrieve the invoice information necessary to process payments and update FreshBooks after a successful transaction.

Complete merchant approval and processing setup.

Once your account is approved, we configure PayBridge to securely route transactions through your merchant processing account.

 

3. Keep Sending FreshBooks Invoices

Continue creating and sending invoices through FreshBooks just as you do today.

Your invoice can include a secure PayBridge payment link directing customers to your payment portal.

4. Your Customer Pays Through PayBridge

5. PayBridge Updates FreshBooks

Once the transaction is successfully confirmed, PayBridge records the payment against the corresponding FreshBooks invoice.

Your FreshBooks Workflow Stays Intact

PayBridge is designed to work with the information necessary to complete and synchronize your payment workflow, including:

FreshBooks remains your invoicing platform. PayBridge helps you keep your money in your bank account without unnecessary fees. 

Built to Work With FreshBooks, Not Replace It

Because Your Payment Processor and Your Invoicing Software Don’t Have to Be the Same Decision

You chose FreshBooks because it works for your business.

Changing invoicing platforms just to get different payment-processing terms means migrating customer data, invoices, workflows, history, and internal processes for a problem that exists in only one part of the system.

PayBridge separates those decisions.

Choose FreshBooks for invoicing. Choose the payment-processing arrangement that makes sense for your business.

That’s the whole idea.
