October 2020 Release Notes

It's a new month, which means we have another round of product updates and bug fixes for you! In addition to a new integration for our Enterprise users, we also added the ability for you to select multiple descriptions of services on a single invoice or subscription

Take a look at what's new in AdvicePay, and get a sneak peek at what is just around the corner.  

What we’re most excited about 🎉

Add multiple services to invoices and subscriptions

You can now select multiple descriptions of services on a single invoice or subscription in AdvicePay, allowing you to easily list all of the work included in a client’s billing! Available descriptions are pulled from both the firm-wide invoice settings, as well as your own personal account descriptions (depending on permissions), and can be easily edited while adding them to the payment request if needed. And, if you need to add a description on the fly, you can also simply start typing to create a brand new description to include.

The resulting invoice will include all the descriptions in line item format so that your clients can quickly see exactly what work you’re performing:

Plus, you can then filter your invoices and subscriptions inside AdvicePay based on these saved services for helpful reporting. (Multiple descriptions of service are now supported in transaction reports as well.)

DocuSign integration for Enterprise

AdvicePay's new DocuSign integration for Enterprise plans allows firms with an API DocuSign plan to connect their existing DocuSign account to get financial planning agreements and other documents signed -- either with payment requests or independently.

If your firm uses DocuSign now, you’ll love this integration because it allows you to:

• Manage company agreements and invoicing in a single system: AdvicePay. (Efficiency for the win!) This also makes it super easy to standardize templates or agreements for advisors on your AdvicePay account to use.
• Simplify and speed up the invoicing and agreement process for your advisors, as it enables them to do it all in a single workflow. Advisors can forget jumping between two different apps trying to determine who has signed so who can be issued an invoice...with this integration, we make it straightforward and automatic.
• Thrill clients by giving them the ability to sign and pay in one easy step! Additionally, clients will now have their agreement and invoice history in one place -- their AdvicePay client portal. 

And best of all, it’s totally free; in less than a minute, you can toggle it on, connect to DocuSign, and start sending + tracking documents right from your AdvicePay account!

Still need to know more? Watch our quick 2-minute video with Mary Moore, Product Manager, to learn more about the DocuSign integration, then reach out to support@advicepay.com or your designated Relationship Manager. We’re here to help!
