LeanLaw Payments is a modern, law-firm-specific payment solution built directly into LeanLaw and fully integrated with QuickBooks Online. Powered by Confido Legal, it allows your firm to accept payments quickly, securely, and compliantly — without the manual work or accounting headaches of traditional payment tools.


Why LeanLaw Payments Is Different

Unlike general payment processors, LeanLaw Payments is designed specifically for how law firms bill, collect, and account for client funds.

Built for Legal Billing Workflows

LeanLaw Payments understands the difference between trust and operating funds, ensuring payments are routed correctly and recorded accurately. This helps firms stay compliant while reducing reconciliation work.

Seamless QuickBooks Online Sync

Payments made through LeanLaw Payments automatically sync to QuickBooks Online, eliminating duplicate data entry and reducing accounting errors. Invoices, payments, and deposits stay aligned across systems.

Faster Payments, Better Cash Flow

Clients can pay securely using:

  • Credit cards

  • Debit cards

  • ACH (bank transfer)

These flexible options make it easier for clients to pay promptly, helping firms reduce outstanding receivables and improve cash flow.


Designed for Your Clients, Too

LeanLaw Payments isn’t just easier for your firm — it’s easier for your clients.

Clients can:

  • Pay online from any device

  • Use familiar payment methods

  • Receive clear, professional payment requests

A smoother payment experience means fewer delays, fewer follow-ups, and stronger client relationships.


Transparent Fees, No Surprises

LeanLaw Payments offers straightforward, transparent pricing with no monthly fees. You’ll always know:

  • Which payment methods incur fees

  • When ACH is the most cost-effective option

  • How fees are applied to transactions

This clarity makes it easier to choose the right payment method for each situation and communicate expectations to clients.


Why Firms Choose LeanLaw Payments Over Other Payment Tools

Many firms start with general payment processors, but often outgrow them as billing complexity increases.

LeanLaw Payments stands out because it:

  • Is built specifically for law firms

  • Handles trust accounting correctly

  • Reduces manual reconciliation

  • Integrates fully with LeanLaw and QuickBooks Online

  • Supports modern client payment expectations

For firms already using LeanLaw, payments work best when they’re part of the same system — not bolted on as a separate tool.


Who Should Use LeanLaw Payments?

LeanLaw Payments is a great fit for firms that want to:

  • Get paid faster

  • Reduce time spent chasing payments

  • Improve client payment experience

  • Maintain clean, compliant accounting records

  • Streamline billing and collections workflows

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to improve an existing process, LeanLaw Payments gives you the tools to manage payments confidently.
