Get paid online from the quote or the invoice.

There's no extra fee on any plan, including Free. Cord charges no platform fee in your currency for now: only the payment processor's rate applies, deducted from the payment.

No. They open the quote or invoice link and pay right there, from their phone or computer, without signing up or installing anything. Card payments are encrypted and processed by Cord Payments: your business never sees your client's card details.

Card, on every plan. In beta, the link also offers Bacs Direct Debit or bank transfer with a reference, only when the sale is in GBP. Monthly plans are charged by card.

It's in beta, on documents in pounds sterling tied to a client. Each client gets fixed account details (sort code and account number) to pay you, and each transfer carries its own reference, which Cord uses to match it to the quote or invoice and lower the balance. Until it's turned on for your account, transfers received outside the link are recorded by hand against the same balance.

Your business details, the people who control it (each partner with 25% or more and whoever runs it, with their real role) and your payout account. What's requested comes from your country's requirements, so you don't fill in fields that don't apply there. You take the ID photo with your phone by scanning a QR code, and Cord strips its GPS location before sending it for verification.

As soon as your account is verified. While something is missing, Payments shows how many requirements are pending and the deadline, and payouts wait. Changing your payout frequency or bank account requires confirming your identity, because it decides where and how often your money goes out.

Yes, in full or in part: a quote payment from Payments and an invoice payment from that invoice's detail page. Before you confirm, Cord verifies your identity and tells you what the method doesn't allow. It takes the Refunds permission, which not even the Admin role has by default.
