Give your clients a self-service billing portal
Your clients expect to view invoices, pay online, and manage their subscriptions — without emailing you. A branded client billing portal reduces support tickets, accelerates payments, and makes your business look professional.
Your clients are already expecting self-service billing
67% of B2B buyers prefer self-service over talking to a sales rep. If your clients can't view invoices, download receipts, and pay online — they'll switch to a competitor who offers it.
Clients email you for every invoice
Every "can you resend that invoice?" email costs you 15 minutes. With a client portal, invoices are always available — no more back-and-forth.
Late payments are killing your cash flow
When clients can't find their invoice, they can't pay it. A self-service portal with one-click payments reduces average payment time from 34 days to 11 days.
You look unprofessional without one
Your competitors already offer client portals. Sending PDF invoices by email in 2026 signals that your business hasn't modernized. First impressions matter.
Manual AR is eating your time
Tracking who owes what, sending reminders, following up — it adds up to 10+ hours per week. Automated AR through a client portal gives you that time back.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about client billing portals and accounts receivable.
A client billing portal is a branded self-service hub where your clients can view invoices, make payments, manage subscriptions, download receipts, and update their billing information — without contacting you. Think of it as an online banking experience, but for your business-to-client billing relationship.
Emailing invoices is one-directional: you send, they (hopefully) pay. A client portal is interactive: clients can view all invoices anytime, pay with one click, update payment methods, and manage subscriptions. It reduces payment times from 34 days to 11 days on average and cuts billing support emails by 60%.
Yes. The portal uses your company logo, colors, and domain. Clients see your brand throughout — from the login page to invoice views to payment confirmations. It feels like part of your business, not a third-party tool.
PayRequest automatically tracks every invoice through a 5-stage pipeline: sent, reminder, dunning, collection letter, and debt collection. When a client doesn't pay, the system escalates automatically — sending email reminders, then SMS, then formal WIK-compliant collection letters via PostNL. You control the timing and messaging.
Clients can pay via iDEAL, SEPA Direct Debit, credit/debit cards, Bancontact, bank transfer, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, and 10+ more methods. Payment methods are shown based on your connected providers (Stripe, Mollie, or Ponto).
The client billing portal is included in PayRequest's Business plan at €20/month. No per-client fees, no per-invoice charges, no transaction percentages. Unlimited clients, unlimited invoices, full AR automation included.
