Get invoices and retainers paid without the awkward card call.

Pulse lets professional firms collect invoices and retainers by text-to-pay, take payments over the phone, and bill recurring engagements — with staff never handling a client’s card number.

The challenge

What’s slowing collection down.

Chasing invoices and retainers ties up billable time.

Taking card details over the phone means staff keying numbers — a PCI risk.

Recurring engagements and payment plans are billed manually.

How Pulse helps

Built for professional services, on one secure platform.

Text & email pay links

Send invoices with a secure pay link; clients tap to pay from their phone, no login required.

Retainers by phone

Collect retainers and deposits over the phone by keypad — staff never see or key the card.

Recurring engagements

Bill monthly retainers and payment plans automatically on a securely vaulted method.

Branded client portal

A self-service page where clients view balances and pay, under your firm’s brand.

AI billing reminders

An AI text or voice agent follows up on outstanding invoices automatically, so you stop chasing.

No card at reception

PCI DSS Level 1 and tokenized — card data never touches your front desk or staff.

FAQ

Professional Services payments, answered.

How can a firm collect invoices by text?

Pulse attaches a secure pay link to your invoice by text or email. The client taps it and pays on a tokenized page with no login, so invoices get paid in minutes instead of weeks.

Can we take retainers over the phone securely?

Yes. Clients enter card details by keypad straight into the gateway; staff never see or key the number, keeping card data out of your PCI scope.

Does it support recurring retainers and payment plans?

Yes. Monthly retainers and installment plans can be billed automatically on a securely vaulted method.

Is client card data secure?

Payments run on PCI DSS Level 1 rails with tokenized vaulting, so raw card numbers never touch your staff or systems.

Will it work with our practice-management software?

Pulse is vendor-agnostic and layers onto the systems and phones you already use.
