Record an Invoice Payment by Credit Card

Through Integrated Payment

You can use CosmoLexPay or our LawPay integration to process credit card payments.

With these integrations, invoices can be paid:

• From the CosmoLex application
• From a link located on the invoice
• From within our secure client portal

You can pay invoices using a credit card in two places:

• For a single matter from Matters
• For single and multiple matters for the same client from Activities
