Do customers on autopay get payment reminders?

No, not while their automatic payment is working. A customer on autopay only gets a reminder once a card charge has actually failed or a week has passed.

Can new customers sign up and pay before installation?

Yes. With online signup switched on, a visitor who finds coverage can order a package and pay the first invoice or set up autopay through a pay link, before anyone schedules the installation. You choose which of those conditions an order must meet.

Which payment provider does ISPbox use?

ISPbox integrates with Stripe, using your own connected Stripe account. Customers pay through a hosted checkout in the portal, and payments are reconciled back to their invoices automatically.

Can ISPbox charge customers automatically?

Yes. When a customer has a card on file, ISPbox can charge it off session as soon as a new invoice is issued and retry recent outstanding invoices, recording any declines for follow up.

Does it keep a record of payments?

Yes. Every payment is allocated to invoices, recorded on a running client ledger, and turned into a receipt PDF the customer can download.

How payment automation works

Get paid without chasing every invoice. ISPbox connects to Stripe so customers can pay online, cards on file are charged automatically when invoices are issued, and outstanding balances are retried, with payment reminders and automatic suspension as backup for the ones that still do not pay.

Online payments through Stripe

Connect your own Stripe account and customers pay invoices from the portal with a hosted checkout. Successful payments are verified, allocated to the right invoices, and turned into a receipt PDF, while the client ledger and balance update automatically.

Autopay with cards on file

When a customer saves a card, ISPbox can charge it off session as soon as a new invoice is issued, and a catch up pass retries recent outstanding invoices that have a stored payment method. Declines are recorded so you can follow up.

Reminders and enforcement as backup

For balances that stay unpaid, ISPbox sends payment reminders ahead of the block date and can automatically suspend or rate limit the service after grace, then restore it the moment payment clears.

Online signup and pay links

Your public coverage checker can take orders. A visitor inside a coverage zone picks a package and becomes a pending client, and the first invoice goes out by email or SMS with a pay link that works without a portal login. You decide what must happen before installation: the first invoice paid, autopay set up, both or neither. Then the order lands in the queue as a New installation ticket.

Card and bank payments run through Stripe, PayPal, Square or Authorize.net, and saved payment methods can be charged automatically on each invoice. A sweep every ten minutes finishes payments whose confirmation got lost between the gateway and the browser.

Reminders that respect the customer

Payment reminders go out on fixed days after the due date, 3, 7 and 14 days by default, as one email per customer that lists every overdue invoice with the total, plus a portal notification. They are sent in the morning of your own timezone, never at night, and customers on autopay are left alone unless a charge has really failed. Reminders work with or without automatic suspension.

For Canadian ISPs, Interac e-Transfer notifications can be read from a connected Microsoft 365 mailbox and matched to the right client by invoice or account number, with a review queue for the ones that need a human. This is available on request.
