Viewing Client Portal as Your Client Would See it

You are able to view your client portals as your client so you can see what they will be seeing.

To do this, go to the Customer Tab in the side menu and then click Customers.

Search for the customer you would like to view the client portal for and click the pencil button to go to their customer profile.

Once on the customer’s profile, scroll down slightly and you will see the option that says “To view the client portal as your client will see it click here“

That will take you to the selected customer’s client portal. Keep reading to learn what your client can do in their portal.

Save Payment Methods on File

Your customer can save a credit card on file and can also connect their bank account for ACH transfers.

They can do both of these things by going to their “Profile“. This can be found on the top right of the screen in their client portal.

A login must be required for the option to add a card or ACH on file to be available.
Once your client changes the Login Required to yes, the buttons will become active and the client can add a card on file by clicking the blue “Add a Credit Card” button.

Once they have entered their card information, they will get a popup thats if they want to allow you to charge this card.

If they select yes, they will then have a card on file for you to charge and they will also have the option to select a box that will allow you to auto-charge their account if you have this feature for your account.

If you have the ACH payment feature active on your account, your client can also choose to add a bank account to their customer profile.

They can do this by clicking the blue “Connect Bank Account for ACH” button and following the prompts for connecting their bank account with Plaid.

Invoices and Estimates

To view invoices, your client will click “Finances” and then select Invoices.
