Orion Clients Can Accept Credit Card Payment with PayPros Integration 

“Orion’s software has proven to be an asset to McIntyre throughout the years. I was very impressed with the new PayPros® integration, which immediately allowed me to reduce steps in the credit payment process and also gave complete visibility of our daily transactions. The install for the newest upgrade of the Orion system was quick and easy, while the training for PayPros was user-friendly. Both Orion and PayPros have phenomenal customer service and I would recommend this new feature to others. Orion is truly a one-stop-shop software program for law firms.”
Michelle Hecht, Account Specialist, McIntyre, Panzarella, Thanasides, Bringgold & Todd, P.L.

Modern law firms need streamlined financial management and clients increasingly want the option of paying by credit card. Now with the seamless interface between Orion Financial Management and PayPros® Legal, effective solutions can be found for both needs.

Using the combined power of Orion and PayPros, firms can be more profitable, improving and speeding up their collections and cash flow. In addition, financial tasks can be done more accurately and securely which has both internal and external benefits for the firm.

Accepting credit/debit cards with Orion, powered by PayPros Legal, adds a host of benefits. Here are just a few reasons why firms choose to accept credit/debit cards from their clients:

Ease of Use

• Credit/Debit card processing works virtually the same as any other payment type. With just a few simple steps for setup, you’re able to enter a payment, trust or retainer deposit using the same interface that you’ve come to know.
• Authorization is received in seconds and the money is deposited into your bank account within 24 hours.
• Upon receiving authorization, the client ledger is updated, the associated deposit into bank reconciliation occurs (identifying the source of the entry) and the general ledger reflects the relevant activity.

Not only is it easy to distinguish credit/debit card transactions from other types of transactions, but access to key elements of these transactions is always available.

Increase Cashflow & Reduce AR

• Get paid faster. Recent studies have shown that by accepting credit/debit cards, firms are able to greatly reduce both collection time and costs associated with receiving checks sent via mail. 
• According to a PayPros Legal Solutions survey, 74.4% of law firms reported improved cashflow as a result of accepting credit cards.
• Accepting credit cards led to a mean of $831 additional billing 
• per month = nearly $10,000/year.
• Helpful Reductions. Client tension around payment was reduced by 55.8% and administrative work decreased by 41.4%. And 45.7% of firms reported that accepting credit cards was a business development advantage because it gave clients what they wanted.
• Accepting credit/debit cards also eliminates the hassle of dealing with bounced checks and the associated bank fees.

Enhanced Security

• MagTek® IPAD® is used to securely encrypt the credit/debit card data from the very moment the card is swiped. Cardholder data is never stored locally at the firm (on paper or electronically in Orion).
• Transactions are secure and PCI compliant. PayPros is so confident in their security strategy that law firms using Orion can apply for their breach guarantee of up to $200,000.00 in breach reimbursements and coverage.
