Small business payments made simpler with Bluevine's invoicing and payment link integration via Stripe.
Small Businesses Reap Benefits from Bluevine's New Invoicing and Payment Links
In a bid to enhance the financial operations of small businesses, Bluevine has introduced a new suite of features, integrating invoicing and secure payment links within its digital banking platform. This partnership with Stripe aims to streamline payment processes and simplify the everyday tasks of business owners.
These new tools enable Bluevine customers to effortlessly send out invoices and payment requests using various platforms such as email, texts, customizable links, or social media. The features come at no extra cost, beyond the standard processing fees. Additionally, customers can receive payments directly into their Bluevine accounts via credit or debit cards, digital wallets, or ACH direct debit.
According to Eyal Lifshitz, co-founder and CEO of Bluevine, this integration brings enterprise-level security, speed, and reliability to the platform, granting small business owners the precious time to focus on their core business activities. "Small business owners want prompt payment options but they don't enjoy the time-consuming task of invoicing and chasing after customer payments. By simplifying and streamlining payment acceptance and integrating accounts receivable tools directly into their Bluevine checking account, we're returning valuable time to them," Lifshitz stated.
Bluevine aims to place itself as a comprehensive financial platform for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with this launch, offering banking, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and financing services under one roof. The goal is to mitigate the need for SMBs to manage multiple platforms, thereby reducing operational complexity and time spent on financial administration.
The company believes that these invoicing and payment features cater to various small businesses, including accounting and consulting firms, contractors, tradespeople, and medical practices. By reducing the hassle of chasing payments, these tools aim to facilitate smoother financial transactions for entrepreneurs.
Repackaged features of the new offerings include:
- Free, Professional Invoicing: Users can craft, send, and monitor an unlimited number of customized, itemized invoices via their Bluevine dashboard. Funds earned may begin accumulating interest as soon as they are credited to the account.
- Easy, Secure Payment Links: Businesses can generate and distribute secure payment links to customers via emails, texts, links, or social media.
- Multiple Payment Options: Customers can pay via credit card, debit card, digital wallets, or ACH direct debit, with the funds getting deposited directly into Bluevine Business Checking accounts or sub-accounts.
The company emphasizes that this launch represents a significant stride towards supporting small businesses by centralizing essential financial tools in one place. The ambition of Bluevine is to offer a well-rounded, user-friendly solution for small business owners seeking to modernize their financial management and payment collection processes.
The new invoicing and payment links introduced by Bluevine, in partnership with Stripe, are designed to streamline the financial operations of small businesses, integrating business activities such as sending invoices and receiving payments securely within their digital banking platform. By using these features, small business owners can focus more on their core business activities, leveraging technology for enhanced financial management and reduced operational complexity.
