If you’ve ever had to chase clients for overdue invoices, you know how quickly delayed payments can cripple your cash flow. Whether you’re running an IT service firm, marketing agency, or SaaS business, waiting weeks or even months to get paid slows growth and creates unnecessary stress.

Here’s the thing: most payment delays aren’t caused by bad clients, but by outdated systems. 

The good news? You can fix that with the right processes and tools.
Let’s break down five proven ways to speed up payments and keep your cash flow healthy.

1. Make It Easy for Clients to Pay You

The harder it is to pay you, the longer it takes for the money to arrive. Clients shouldn’t have to switch platforms, dig through invoices, or deal with manual transfers.

Simplify the experience.
Use a payment system that allows clients to pay directly from your quotes or invoices instantly. With Zomentum Payments, businesses can collect upfront or partial payments right inside Zomentum Grow quotes. No redirects. No third-party gateways. Just click, pay, done.

You can even pass on transaction fees transparently, making it virtually free for your business to accept payments.

2. Automate Recurring Payments

If you offer retainers, monthly services, or subscriptions, recurring payments are a game changer. Instead of sending manual invoices every month, you can set up auto-collect schedules to charge clients automatically on time, every time.

Zomentum Payments lets you configure auto-pay options at the account or client level. That means your recurring revenue becomes predictable, and your finance team no longer has to send reminders or track late payers.

3. Eliminate Manual Reconciliation

Manual reconciliation is one of those silent time drains. Matching each transaction to its corresponding invoice eats up hours every week and increases errors.

Zomentum Payments syncs automatically with QuickBooks and Xero, reconciling transactions and triggering payouts every two business days. You always know what’s paid, pending, or due without manual updates or spreadsheets.

4. Reduce Payment Friction With Multiple Options

Clients pay faster when they can choose how to pay.
Accepting multiple payment methods like ACH, BACS, Visa, MasterCard, and Amex removes barriers and speeds up the process.

With Zomentum Payments, all card rates are a flat 2.9% + $0.30, including Amex (no hidden surcharges or higher interchange costs). 

ACH transfers are even cheaper, just 0.8% + $0.30, capped at $5 per transaction.

That flexibility means clients can pay the way they prefer, and you still keep more of your revenue.

5. Keep Security Tight and Clients Confident

Late payments aren’t always about cash, it's about trust. Clients hesitate to share details if they’re unsure about security.
That’s why Zomentum Payments is built with enterprise-grade compliance:

• SOC 2 and PCI DSS certified
• Tokenized cards and mandates to safely store payment details for recurring billing

When clients trust the process, they pay faster and come back more often.
