Steps

  1. 1. Sign in

    On the sign in page the customer enters their email address and the Company ID (included in your email; links from BizCortex fill it in). They click "Send sign in link" and open the link in the email.

  2. 2. Overview

    Shows the amount due, the number of open invoices with how many are overdue, the credit balance, the open invoices with due dates and the latest quotes.

  3. 3. Invoices

    Lists issued invoices and credit notes with number, type, date, due date, open amount and status. The invoice page shows the totals, paid and open amounts, the Pay online card, the items and the PDF with "Download PDF".

  4. 4. Quotes

    Lists sent quotes. A sent, valid quote can be accepted ("Accept quote", enter "Your name", "Accept (binding)") or declined with an optional reason.

  5. 5. Payments

    Shows payments and refunds with date, type, method, reference and amount.

  6. 6. Statement

    Choose a period to see the opening balance, closing balance, credit balance, all entries with running balance, and the statement PDF.

  7. 7. Billing address

    The customer can change company or name, addition, street, postal code, city and country (two letter code). The new address is printed on future invoices.

  8. 8. Log out

    The Log out button ends the session.

Good to know

  • For privacy the sign in page always shows the same message, whether or not the address is enabled.
  • Opening an invoice in the portal sets it to Viewed.
  • If no payment provider is active, the portal says "Online payment is currently not available."
