Professional Services

Structured payment collection for professional services.

Consultancies, agencies and business service providers need to collect fees accurately and match each payment to a client and an engagement. Rainbow Pay gives every payment a reference your team can trace.

What the business needs from payments

Payment against an engagement

Tie each payment to a client, matter or invoice number.

Confirm before completing

Some services require checking scope or availability before taking the payment.

Traceable records

Finance teams need consistent payment data for reconciliation.

Professional presentation

Clients expect a clear, secure payment page under your business name.

Payment scenario

Example: a deposit for an engagement

A fictional consultancy takes a deposit before starting a project.

  1. 1

    The consultancy's system creates a payment with the engagement number as the order number and needConfirmation set.

  2. 2

    The client completes the payment on the hosted page.

  3. 3

    Once the engagement letter is countersigned, the consultancy confirms the payment through the API.

  4. 4

    If the engagement does not go ahead, it declines the payment instead.

This is a hypothetical example to illustrate a payment flow. It does not describe a Rainbow Pay customer.
