Independent tools

Practical tools for payment decisions

Use these calculators and assessments to compare what card fees, ACH processing, and flat monthly platforms actually cost, and to find where your collection workflow slows down. Each tool is built for education, not sales.

Calculators

Compare what each method really costs

Enter your typical invoice size and monthly volume to see effective fees side by side.

Percentage card fees

See how a per-transaction percentage adds up across invoices of different sizes, including the effect of a fixed per-transaction charge.

Capped ACH processing

Model bank transfer costs under a per-transaction cap, and compare them with card fees on the same invoice amounts over a year.

Hybrid and flat-rate platforms

Test a flat monthly platform cost against a mixed arrangement, and find the monthly volume where each option becomes the lower-cost choice.

Assessments

Find where collection slows down

01

Invoice aging

Review how long invoices stay open, and where delays begin between sending and payment.

02

Client authorization setup

Check whether clients can authorize payments once, and whether that approval carries forward to later invoices.

03

Recurring billing adoption

Assess how much of your revenue repeats each month, and whether it is billed automatically or manually.

04

Dispute handling

Examine how payment disputes are logged, who responds to them, and how quickly they are resolved.
