• A WePay account is automatically provisioned for you under the email address used for your FreshBooks account - if the email address is incorrect, please reach out to our support team to update it
• If you're based in Canada and would like to accept VISA debit cards, in your Online Payments Settings, slide the toggle green next to Accept VISA debit cards to allow clients to pay with this additional card type (automatically activated for US users)

Activate WePay on Invoices

1. When creating an invoice, under Settings, select the Accept Online Payments option
   
   
2. Check off the box(es) next to Accept Credit Cards and/or Accept ACH Bank Transfer (available for US businesses and clients only). If both are checked off, your clients can pay by either credit card or bank transfer on this Invoice. If only one is checked off, your clients can only pay by the selected option
   
   
3. If you want your clients to be able to pay the invoice partially (even with bank transfers or payment schedules activated as well), check off Allow Clients to make partial online payments for this Invoice
   
   
4. Select Done to finish applying the payment settings and continue editing the rest of your invoice.
