FEATURED ARTICLE

The Optimal recurring billing tool easily automates payments that need to be collected periodically and deposited directly into your Optimal account. It couldn't be simpler. All you need to do is provide basic information for each billing record such as customer and contact information, credit card or debit card details, and the amount and time each payment should be collected. Once you set them up on our platform, you can forget about them. Our recurring billing tool takes over, reliably processing your transactions for the amount, at the frequency, and over the time period that you have specified. And it's just as easy to modify or disable any billing record at any time.

With the Optimal recurring billing tool you eliminate the manual, time-consuming process of recording cheque payments and reduce cheque-encoding errors and collection expenses, all while increasing your level of customer satisfaction.
