I didn't accept credit cards before getting LawPay, and I've found it to be simple, safe, and easy to use.

The ease of setting up this product and the ease of use is second to none.

The integrations with Clio, our practice management software are a huge pro to LawPay as well as LawPay's competitive processing fees with the legal payments processing industry.

Overall a great resource for any practitioner--but especially a solo looking for an affordable and modern solution for merchant processing.

Makes collecting payments easy. Love that it integrates with MyCase and other case management software I have used over the years.

It's nice being able to tell them all their choices for payments. It makes my clients ease of use for my services better.

Customer service are quick to assist. Client are able to pay via online quick and easy.

Best of all, it works seamlessly with Clio, which makes taking payments from clients who are already established with invoicing very easy.

It gives my clients some reassurance that I can safely handle their money.

Overall a good experience. I don't have much difficulty using the service.

I'm sure that would violate some privacy law, though, so it's understandable but we still have to fill this part out.

I have had a really good experience with LawPay. I would definitely recommend it.

It is nice to have a processing company that accommodates for unique issues attorneys face with trust accounting. The features are helpful and it is easy to use.

Sometimes, it's hard to search for reports. Webpage looks simple but it's not as simple as it seems.

The flexibility of use of the merchant processor by far is its best asset--from emailing invoices to clients for them to pay via a secure webpage to automated payments for payment plans.

Credit card processing is intuitive. This is especially helpful for the staff that only do occasional entries.

Overall my experience  has been outstanding. The ease of use and the custom  service help is outstanding.

Checks by mail simply isn't practical and valuable time can be lost while waiting on payment. LawPay speeds things up and helps accommodate the most common form of payment- cards.

The ability to send links for remote payment and automatic receipt generation is also excellent.

Overall our experience has been positive with LawPay. We are happy with their product.

I love how easily this works with cosmolex. The integration is perfect and makes billing almost effortless for me.

Also, the option of linking Lawpay to both operating and trust (IOLTA) accounts is great.

Occasionally, the software doesn't send e-mails to clients right away, which can delay things a bit. Further, you cannot see the client's card number in the event that you need that information.

Another significant benefit is the affordable processing rates provided by LawPay, which enable me to accept debit and credit card payments without paying exorbitant costs.

LawPay saves my firm money on credit card processing fees and offers my clients a very convenient way to pay invoices and trust retainers.

But I understand that lawyers have an ally with ungrateful client chargebacks.

An additional benefit that has allowed me to accept payments without paying exorbitant costs is LawPay's competitive processing rates.

LawPay makes it super easy for us to take card payments. It replaced PayPal, which isn't suited to the kind of accounting we have.

You cannot download your monthly statements from the web portal, which is very annoying and makes accounting more difficult. You also cannot sync it with your accounting software.

The ability to send links for payment to either operating or trust accounts is excellent and necessary for my defence practice.

The website is clean and simple and very easy to navigate.

The fees are low for what you're getting and they never draw money out of the trust account. This is an easy and simple way to get retainers from clients and to get bills paid.

What we like the most about LawPay is the ease of use for the clients. They can set up reoccurring payments, they can pay their bill monthly - very client friendly.

I have really enjoyed the simplicity of using LawPay.

The customer service is great. They are super responsive and quickly take care of things.

There really have not been any cons thus far. The only downside is sometimes client place funds in the wrong account.

The fees are very high and I hate that they send the statements in the mail and they are not accessible online.

I love being able to offer my customers the option of paying me with an emailed link. Many people do not like to give out their cc information and this is a great option for a direct sales business.

Great - love their customer service, they quickly send out new square devices and have always felt the transactions are safe and protected.

Best of all, payments to your account are very quick, with a fantastic option for instant transfer.

It was easy to use, the interface was nice, and setting up recurring payments (with automatic notices) was great.

I love the ease of use of this. It makes it easy to take payment from customers from the comfort of their vehicles.

It is also widely used across many small businesses, so clients are more comfortable to see it when I am collecting payments. The customer services is also top notch and very responsive.

The Data and reporting that is available is amazing. You can see everything about your business in order to make great business decisions.

I was just a beginner when it comes to processing credit cards. But, this was super easy to integrate.

Since then Square has gotten better and better. I generally have money in my account the next business day and if I agree to an additional 1% I can have it immediately.

It's great that there are a lot of possible integrations with other software. It is an amazing tool for small businesses.

I love how simple square is to use. The user interface is super simple in the app, and has great features for seeing trends, busy periods, etc. I have been so pleased.

I love that I can do events out of the office and take payments for those services. It has made those events so much better and more effective.

I love that I can accept payments almost anywhere at anytime. The ease of use is top notch and it is always reliable.

The only downside to the Square software was the lack of Wi-Fi compatibility and the short distance the square had with Wi-Fi as it frequently was reconnecting.

Had to stop using as Clients disliked the extra charge on their account. We would have them use this  to pay with credit cards on their accounts.

They were my first choice in the beginning, but after the 2 disputes and how bad they handled them, I went back to PayPal.

Fantastic ease of use, amazing functionality, user friendly, this is the easiest and best payment processor i've ever used.

We appreciate how easy Square integrates with IPad, we utilize our IPad with Square as our Credit Card processor and it works great.

My overall experience was a negative one. I was able to get it to work right once or twice but most of the time it just made It was having a very hard time being compatible with my iPhone.

To be able to take payments anywhere is great. Being mobile makes doing business during this time a very important business advantage.

Integrations is extremely easy. I liked everything about this product it is very convenient and a great tool.

It does everything that we need, it has a great website, great platform to create invoices and really good features for end of the year reports.

I love the portability and ease of use with Square. It has been wonderful for selling books at conventions.

I appreciate the ease of payments and immediate receipts straight to my device. It helps me keep by budget on track.

This software was excellent for ease of use and speed of accepted payments. Long the leader in this industry, we were thoroughly impressed.

I love how square makes it so easy to accept payments. It’s great for small businesses and startups.

Square has amazing customer support and provides great tech at reasonable prices for me and my freelance aspirations.

There is more competition coming along that is good, but Square is still a solid competitor. I love the UI and how easy things are on the user end and administrative end.

I dislike the fees that are charged for people processing payments for each transaction.

Square is a great company that is also focused on design and its ability to improve how we spend our money in a cashless age.

The company I work for uses square, and we love it. I really like that there are no monthly fee's and the pricing is very affordable.

I loved the ability to use it with a phone, tablet, or computer. The versatility was great.

We are very disappointed with how long they will hold the funds before transferring, there is often no rhyme or reason as to the length of time the funds are held.
