We are excited to announce that a highly requested feature has been added to Foxit eSign. Foxit eSign customers can now sign up for Foxit Pay to seamlessly collect payments directly within their agreements. This intuitive feature simplifies the process of sending, signing, and collecting payments during your document workflows. This gives users a smooth signing and payment experience, ensuring fast, effortless, and secure payment collection while enhancing customer satisfaction.
Efficient payment management is essential for businesses of all sizes to keep cash flow healthy. But let’s face it – handling payments can be a real headache. Many organizations find themselves using multiple platforms to manage agreements and payments separately, which can lead to inefficiencies and a less-than-ideal customer experience, requiring customers to interact with multiple links to complete one request. That’s where Foxit Pay comes in, offering an effortless solution that consolidates everything into one simple process.
The Challenge of Disjointed Payment Systems
Managing payments and agreements across multiple platforms can create significant friction for businesses. The process often involves using separate platforms for document signing, payment requests, and payment status tracking. This complexity leads to delayed payments, errors in billing, and a poor customer experience. Not to mention, the manual processes involved with using different systems can be time-consuming for staff and clients alike.
That’s why Foxit Pay was created—to integrate document signing and payment collection into one singular process, eliminating the common frustration of managing payments across different platforms.
