Create a Payment
With Sertifi Payments, you can add payments or authorizations to your folder when you send documents for signature. You can choose to add one or more payments or authorizations to your file based on your needs.
You must have a payment gateway enabled to add payments or authorizations to your folder. For more information about the available payment gateways and accepted payment types, see Sertifi Payment Gateways.
Note
You must be a Sertifi Admin+ user to add payments to files. If you need to update your payment settings, you must be a Sertifi Super Admin.
You can also send a folder (without an included signature document) to collect payment or authorization only. For instance, if you already received a signed contract on-site, you can still send the client a file that contains all the payments that the client needs to complete. Additionally, you can also go back and add a payment to a file after you've already created or archived that file.
