Integrating LawPay

CosmoLex provides payment processing service with CosmoLexPay (U.S.) as well as our LawPay integration (U.S. & CA)

These integrations allow you to:

  • Receive an online payment through an emailed link or our client portal.
  • Request an online trust retainer via an emailed link.
  • Process retainers or invoice payments in-office or over the phone.
Note

The LawPay integration does not support LawPay accounts that are enabled for surcharging.

Because CosmoLex includes integrated accounting functionality, payments you receive through our payment processing integrations will simultaneously update your invoice, balances, and accounting records.
