Sound familiar?
Where recurring billing lose money getting paid.
Invoicing the same people every month
Recurring work billed one invoice at a time is busywork, and every manual step is a chance to get paid late.
Late and missed payments
When payment depends on the customer remembering, some of them won’t. Autopay fixes that.
Percentage fees on predictable revenue
100 customers at $150 a month by card is about $450 a month in fees. By ACH, it’s $35.

FAQ
Questions we hear every day
Don't see your question? Ask us directly — there's usually a solution, even for the exceptions.
Can I charge customers automatically every month?
Yes. With the customer’s authorization, you can store a card or bank account on file and schedule payments weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually — ideal for maintenance agreements, service plans, and memberships. Recurring ACH keeps the cost to twenty cents per payment.
What does ACH cost?
ACH is $15 a month plus $0.20 per transaction. That’s it — no percentage of the invoice. On a $5,000 job, that’s twenty cents instead of roughly $150 on a card.
I use QuickBooks Online. How hard is it to switch?
It’s the easiest setup we do. Our processing plugs right into QuickBooks Online, so you keep invoicing exactly the way you do today. Customers pay from the invoice, and payments post back to QuickBooks automatically — no double entry.
Who do I call if something goes wrong?
Us. FeeTain is your point of contact for pricing, setup, statements, and questions. Behind us, Hyfin handles processing and EdgeOne supports the hardware — but you never have to figure out who to call or email a generic sales inbox.
