Pay invoices

4. To see invoice details, click the “View Details” button for that invoice. You may also use this screen to enter a partial payment for that invoice.

5. To add the invoice to your cart, click the “Add to Cart” button. A pop-up will appear, confirming the invoice has been added to your cart. You may also add other invoices to your cart by following the same steps.

6. When finished adding invoices to your cart, click the “Checkout” button. The “Payment Center” page will display.

8. Upon successful completion, you will receive a confirmation number via email.  This is confirmation that your transaction has been sent for processing. This is not confirmation that your invoice has been paid. Please verify with your bank or credit card company that your payment has been accepted and processed. 

Scheduled payments

You also have the option of setting up single or multiple scheduled payments.

If you choose to schedule a payment for a future date, please ensure that we receive the total amount due by the appropriate due date to avoid penalty and interest.

To do so, you must have an account created and be logged in to that account. Once logged in:

1. Choose the invoice you wish to pay.
2. Enter click the “Add to Cart” button to add the payment to cart. Only one item may be in your cart if you wish to schedule payments. 
3. Click the “Checkout” button, which brings you to the screen where your billing information appears.
4. Under your billing information, you will see a section titled “Schedule this payment?” Check the checkbox “Yes” to start scheduling a future payment.
5. Enter the desired Period/Frequency and other Payment Schedule information.
6. Click on “Complete Transaction” to complete your request.
7. If you set up a schedule with multiple payments, you will receive an email reminder 14, 7, and 1 day(s) before each scheduled payment will be made.

If your payment method will expire during a scheduled series of payments, a scheduled payment may fail. If that occurs, you will need to set up a new payment schedule using an updated payment method.
