 Congratulations on starting your new Recur360 journey!!

 

To get the full benefits of the software, lets start by connecting your QuickBooks or Xero company file. 

    • You should be prompted to connect your accounting software automatically.
    • If not, click settings in the top right (gear symbol) then 'Account Settings'.

    • If you have already connected to QuickBooks or Xero you will see it here. 

 

*NOTE- If you need accounting software, already have QuickBooks Desktop, or are looking to get QuickBooks Desktop, we offer QuickBooks hosting services that are available here

 

Let's start with the main settings for billing and adding Recur360Pay (Powered by Fullsteam) for payment processing. 

Click each section to expand:


Billing

Next you may be prompted to update your billing information. You can access your billing settings under settings- billing. 

    • In this section you can see your billing details, as well as your next billing date. 


Payment Processor

If you want to process payments through Recur360, you will need to apply for a merchant account, click settings- payment processors. Then click 'Sign up for RECUR360PAY'. 


 

Our software fits most businesses with a need to invoice or collect payment on a recurring basis. Here we will cover the 3 most common uses.

Click each section to expand:


Invoice/Recurring Invoice

You can free up time with Recurring Invoices, and/or create One-Time Invoices as the need arises. 

To create a recurring invoice, visit our How To Create a Recurring Invoice article. 

To create a one-time invoice, vist our Creating a One Time Single Invoice article. 


Royalty Invoices 

Royalty Invoicing can be tricky. We try to make it a simple process. 

Visit our Royalty Invoices article to learn more.


Collections Management 

One of the most frustrating things is having to remember customers who haven't paid. Who have notifications been sent to? How many reminders have they been given? How far past due are they? 

We try to make it easy to manage the most frustrating part of accounting, getting paid. 

On the dashboard you can quickly see how many open or unpaid invoices you have.

From the collections center use the filters to narrow the results or download the list to an Excel sheet for easy sorting. 

Bulk email customers with balances, and collect payments

See more details in these articles Processing Payments & Sending Emails.

Check out the sortable columns built into the report. 

To move to the right of the page, scroll right on the bottom of the page, or click the page right button. 

In the Reports menu you will find the email history that will show any emails that have been sent to your customers, as well as any pending emails that are scheduled to be sent. 

You can also see the email history for each customer from their customer profile at the bottom. 

If you click the status of the message, it will show who it was delivered to, if the message was opened, what time it was opened, and if they have clicked the pay online link.
