Introduction
What BillPro is, how it works and what you can do with it
BillPro is a billing platform for card payments. You sell products to customers in orders, and BillPro collects the payments, including recurring ones. When you sign up for BillPro, you also get a merchant account with CardCorp.
With CardCorp, BillPro accepts Visa and Mastercard, and Apple Pay and Google Pay.
For the complete documentation index, see llms.txt.
How BillPro works
- Products: the goods and services you sell, with their price and payment terms.
- Customers: the people and companies you sell to, with their cards, orders and emails.
- Orders: a customer buying your products. The order sets how they pay, and BillPro collects each payment.
- Payments: take the first payment by phone or with a payment link. BillPro collects later payments and retries declined ones automatically.
- Order Portal: where customers pay, see their order, manage their cards and download invoices, receipts and credit notes.
- Product Page: a public link where customers buy a product on their own.
Purchase types
- Single payment: one-off purchases, paid in full.
- Instalment: purchases paid over time, with an optional deposit and a payment schedule.
- Subscription: a fixed price charged at a regular interval until it's cancelled.
- Metered: usage-based billing, charged when you need to.
See Purchase types.
Ways to take payments
- Phone payments with the virtual terminal
- Payment links by email or SMS
- A payment link to share in a chat, or a QR code for face-to-face payments
- A card the customer saved before
Customers pay at the BillPro checkout. After that, the same links open the order portal.
Features
- Catalogue: set up taxes, discounts and fees, and decide which prices and terms your team can change in an order.
- Customers: keep customer details, cards, notes and tags in one place, and import customers from a CSV file.
- Recurring billing: schedule payments, retry declined ones, and reschedule, skip or merge payments when plans change.
- Refunds and pre-authorisations: refund payments in full or in part, and reserve an amount to capture later.
- Currencies: sell in several currencies with automatic or manual conversion rates.
- Insight: follow your orders and income on the dashboard, and download reports.
- Integration: use the REST API and webhooks to connect BillPro to your own systems, or add the checkout to your website.
