Invoice Sub-Feature

Pay Invoices Online

Flint lets buyers pay an open invoice online through an invoice-owned hosted checkout flow instead of separate payment instructions.

Why Teams Search This

Searchers here usually want a formal invoice plus an online payment path in the same workflow, instead of sending a bill and then separately chasing the payment.

Why Flint fits this intent

These are the product-shape reasons this search overlaps with Flint instead of a generic processor or a heavier back-office suite.

The hosted checkout session is owned by the invoice, which keeps payment collection tied directly to the receivables record.

Buyers get a cleaner payment path while operators keep invoice status, balance, and follow-up intact.

Teams avoid the common split between billing software on one side and disconnected card collection on the other.

How to evaluate the options

Before comparing vendors, decide what has to be true in the workflow, the payment timing, and the follow-up after the sale.

Point 1
How hosted invoice payment differs from generic checkout or payment links.
Point 2
Why invoice-owned checkout matters for open balances, partial payments, and receivables workflows.
Point 3
Examples for B2B billing, post-service invoices, and online invoice settlement.

Common workflow patterns

These are the recurring operating patterns that usually sit behind the search query.

Formal bill plus card payment

Issue the invoice first, then let the buyer settle it online from the hosted invoice payment flow.

Outstanding balance collection

Reuse the existing invoice-owned checkout path when the buyer needs the current payment destination again.

Where teams get stuck

These are the failure points that usually force the team to revisit the tool choice.

Teams have invoicing on one side and online payment collection on another, which makes reconciliation and customer follow-up messier than it needs to be.

A hosted checkout path exists, but it is not actually tied to the invoice that accounting and operations are using.

How is hosted invoice payment different from hosted checkout?

Hosted invoice payment is anchored to an invoice with an outstanding balance. Hosted checkout is the broader feature for order-backed purchase flows.
