Your account comes with a free customer portal. Your customers can log in and view their service history, pay invoices online, and view device trend reports.

       or website is a good branding choice

       that explains that customers authorize your company to charge the credit card for
       unpaid or overdue invoices

This credit card portal message reads as follows (you are welcome to use it):

**********

I understand that by entering my credit card on-file, I authorize <Your Company> to charge the credit card for unpaid or overdue invoices and future regularly scheduled services.  Charges will not exceed the amount indicated on each service invoice and a receipt for each payment will be emailed to me as confirmation.  Furthermore, I understand that the charges will appear on my statement as a "Pest Control" charge in the description.  

I understand that I can remove my credit card from my account at anytime and I have been informed that the credit card information is stored safely and securely in a PCI compliant data server.

**********

For customers to see this credit card portal message, on the portal they'll click the Your Account link and then click Payment Methods.

If you have a PayPal account, before setting up your account to receive PayPal payments, set your portal domain at Settings/Customer Portal

  15. Back in Settings/Company Information, enter your PayPal email or merchant ID

       and Fieldwork; otherwise, your invoices will not show as being paid
