This payment information will then be available for future deposits from this client, into this same bank account. You can view this payment information on the payment profile from contacts or from matters.

Note

- For each client, you can save (1) credit card and (1) bank account per deposit bank.
  - e.g. If you have a trust account and an operating account linked with CosmoLexPay, You can save (1) credit card and (1) bank account for each, per client.
- If payment information was saved for a client while receiving payment into ‘bank account A’ then it will only be made available for reuse when receiving payments into ‘bank account A’ for that same client.
- This information will not be available for reuse when receiving payments into any other firm bank account or for any other client.

Managing Payment Information

Note

If you wish to use a different payment method for a specific matter, you can override the payment profile from the Matters screen.

If you would like to edit payment information, you first need to delete the saved payment method, and then repeat the steps above to re-enter the new information.

When you arrive at the Integrated Payments transaction screen, there will be a Delete option to the right of the saved Credit Card/Bank account. Click this to remove the payment information.
